A Sweet Valentine!



You have seen Fort Myers' legendary confectioner, Norman Love, before.  Here are some Valentine treats.  Six weeks ago, National Geographic named Norman Love as #5 on its list of The 10 Best Chocolatiers in the World.  Any dissenters?

    They sure are pretty. Since I'm on a sugar-free diet, I'll give my portion to you, Jack. (By the way, nice caption suggestion yesterday.)

    The list of best chocolatiers seems weighted towards places in the USA.

    #5 by National Geographic and I haven't tried them yet. I had better get busy. If they taste as good as they look, they could be down right dangerous.

    This is a sweet treat for the end of my day Jack, would be pretty hard to choose ..'passion pannacotta' is looking particularly tempting!

    Too many decisions - I'll have to try one of each heart and get to the other treats later. Happy Valentine's Day Jack!

    It is quite cruel to tempt us with all these choices! Beautiful display, I would find the red hot love hard to resist!

    Oh good grief! I thought I'd made a choice when I studied the first photo but that was before I saw NY cheesecake in the second.

    This is a VERY scrumptious and unfair post!

    Do you love Norman Love's chocolates? If so, I think you are well justified to do so. Did you buy some of these for Mrs. Jack? If not, you'd better hope Mr. Love is open tonight!

    National Geographic list? Oh, dear! It sounds like I'm going to have a bucket list after all, working my way through the 10 Best Chocolatiers in the World.

    I do admire that the selections in your photos look untouched. You've a stronger will than I. I've found one cannot be too careful in vetting posts. . .

    I'll be happy with a Peachy Keen Kiss Jack or maybe two.

    Looking at those (especially the New York Cheesecake)... I'd think I'd died and gone to heaven!
