Dark Chocolate Tasting
Allison Kunz, Preeya Phadnis
Tue Jan 29, 07:30-09:30pm, 20 Chimneys (W20)
Enrollment limited: first come, first served
Limited to 70 participants.
Single session event
Prereq: none
Fee: 10.00 for the cost of chocolate and other event supplies.
Chocolate tastings are similar to wine tastings: we sample a range of chocolates and learn to appreciate their individual textures and tastes. You'd be surprised at the fruity, nutty, or spicy undertones that aren't the result of added flavorings but rather the growing region and processing of the chocolate!
In this event, we sample 16 different dark chocolates over three tasting "flights." Some information about chocolate-making and where to buy good chocolate will also be provided.

LCS Annual Chocolate Lecture
Allison Kunz
Tue Jan 15, 08-09:00pm, W20-407
Enrollment limited: first come, first served
Limited to 100 participants.
Single session event
This lecture was cancelled last week due to our inability to find a speaker with a free evening. My sincerest apologies for leaving this ad up, it was a gross oversight on my part. There will be a lecture, but during the spring term rather than IAP.
I hope you will instead enjoy the other free events the LAb is hosting this IAP, including the Battle of the Brownies and the Chocolate Tours.
