Remember that ‘Chocolate Rain’ song that caught YouTube by storm a few years back? Good song!
It’s been raining non-stop in LA for almost a week now! I’m an east coaster, I LOVE when it rains. But this is getting a little out of hand. The sun can come back now!!
I totally have cabin fever this week. I’m craving a good long run, fresh air and sunshine endorphins. I haven’t been sleeping well either. Sigh.
Anyways, last night, I worked on making some Christmas Chocolates for a co-worker. She remembered my ‘Chocolate Cures Cancer’ fundraiser from last year and commissioned a fresh batch for her family.
Irving’s mom is the amazing chocolatier, but I had to do this batch all on my own. Things started out pretty good… After burning TWO of the SIX batches I made, I finally figured out that I just had the heat too high. It all worked out in the end! Whew!
While the chocolate was melting, I entertained myself with a little math equation to find out if I had enough Chocolate for the project.
****TOTAL NERD ALERT!!***** 
For you math wizards out there, here was the situation:
-I had two chocolate molds. One tray held 12 stars. The other tray held 18 pinwheels.
-Each Bag of chocolate was enough to make 4 star trays and 5 pinwheel trays.
-In order to have enough pieces in each goodie bag, I needed 44 stars and 55 wheels total.
HOW MANY BAGS OF CHOCOLATE DO I NEED?
Math is fun. 
Stay in school, kids!
