The Film:  Chocolat. Approx. 2 hrs 2 min. 2000. A magical & delicious tale from director Lasse Hallstrom is set in a small French village in 1959 where a single mother arrives with her daughter and opens a chocolate shop whose confections have an intoxicating and liberating effect on the townspeople, until the iron-willed mayor tries to shut her down. And, an Irish river gypsy arrives in town and is seduced by her sweet spell.
 
Menu: Chocolate and fruit fondue, red, white wine.
Fruit: Strawberries, bananas, apples, seedless grapes, pineapple, oranges, mandarin oranges, melons, peaches, cherries, and other suitable dipping items.
Chocolate fondue: 12 1oz squares unsweetened chocolate, 3 cups sugar, 2 cups of light cream, 1 cup butter. (Should be enough for two fondue pots, Joan & I are bringing  the 2 pots)  Alternative fondue brew:  white chocolate and 1/2 of the above fondue ingredients. An additional pot is needed.        Bon Appetit
