It’s hot today, around 90°. For the past few days, I’ve been photographing chocolate, both milk and white. Grating bars of the stuff gets iffy once the temp starts climbing. Last night I got 5 more big bars of white chocolate at Trader Joe’s, causing the clerk to raise an eyebrow.

Today, there were other things to do, so I left the bowls of formerly melted chocolates on the table. In the fridge, they would solidify, but there was no room, and I didn’t want them completely solid again.

Trying to tidy up after work, I tried to pick up the bar of white chocolate, and my fingers went right through. Those other bars are getting soft as well. Perhaps tomorrow is another photo session, but minus the use of the stove.

What am I going to do with all the stuff I plan to make or just shoot? I really don’t think there will be a problem. Fortunately there’s been no trickery or artificial embellishment of the non-edible kind, so family members have not been warned away.
