Cookie time is almost here! This month, local Girl Scout troops will kick

How did a bitter seed become the chocolate that so many of us love?
As the drink of choice in Colonial America, and popular among all social classes,
it was not unusual to start one's day with a hot, spicy cup of chocolate. It was
perceived to cure common ailments and was even sold in Benjamin Franklin's
Philadelphia print shop.
Come on February 2, 1:00 -4:00 pm as Susan McLellan Plaisted, MS RD
CSP LDN, demonstrates the use of the metate by turning the cacao bean into
chocolate. Find out what really went into making chocolate from bean to drink,
from drink to sweets, and from sweets to the modern candy.
This Open House Sunday program will be held at the Bouman-
Stickney Farmstead, located at 114 Dreahook Road in the Stanton
section of Readington. For GPS use Lebanon, NJ.
This is a free family friendly event, although donations will be gratefully
accepted. In case of inclement weather please call the Museums to find
