Chocolate Sauce

I was doing some experimenting and made a very easy and delicious dark chocolate sauce.
So far I've used it in crepes, coffee (mocha), and on the finger. I could think of many more uses. It has the consistency of nutella out of the fridge and even at room temp. It doesn't take much warmth to get it liquid or melt it into a hot drink.

Recipe:
8 oz dark chocolate (I used half a "pound plus" bar from Trader Joe's)
1 can coconut milk (some are thicker than others. The one I used had very little liquid and a somewhat thick coconut mass)

Break up chocolate into pieces and put into a steel saucepan on low with coconut milk. Heat on low and stir with whisk as mixture softens and melts. Pour into a container and store in the fridge.

2009 Eugene Celebration

I just saw that the 2009 Eugene Celebration overlaps with the last weekend of the Oregon State Fair in early September, which is quite the bummer, because I like working the Eugene Celebration. I am not sure I can find a way around this one. In 2007 I did 4 festivals in two weekends (2 overlapping), and it was a bit stressful. Hmm.
