CerebralStew is a veritable mixing pot - a place to mesh ideas, random thoughts, humor, and maybe even a few thought-provoking blurbs into a virtual "stew". As the head chef, I strive to serve a new dish daily, no excuses. My CerebralStew is always brewing...are you ready for your mouthful?
What's Bubbling in the Stew?

Fiber optics strikes again
Fiber optics have ruined my life. This post may be déjà vu, but this daggone fiber optic cable has me watching all kinds of craziness. Tonight dose of madness was the International Chocolate Championships, which crowns a new Chocolate Master annually. This one was held in Paris in 2009. The contestants, chefs from 19 different countries, competed in various challenges: dessert plate, chocolate hat decoration, cakes, and finally sculptures. And their sculptures were pretty hot; they transformed plain old dark, milk, and white chocolate into Louvre-worthy works of art. The winner's creation was a woman made of white chocolate seated on a platform of mixed white and dark layers wearing a haute couture dress and hat. By the way, he represented Japan. The United States came in second, and Germany took home the bronze. And to think before fiber optics I didn't know there was a Chocolate Master. Here's a link to see some photos from the show. http://www.sogoodmagazine.com/championships/view/world-chocolate-masters
