  • DESERT HARBOR—A 55+ COMMUNITY—APACHE JUNCTION, AZ—February 2012
    DESERT HARBOR—A 55+ COMMUNITY—APACHE JUNCTION, AZ—February 2012 We can’t think of February without remembering Valentine’s Day and ---- CHOCOLATE! Did you know that for most of its long history, chocolate was not something people ate? It was a beverage -- rarely hot and seldom sweet. Some historians trace it back to 1500 BC, but others feel that the Mayans from Central America were the first to see the value of the cacao bean for making a beverage and used the bean for currency. Its use was restricted to the social elite at that time and many of the tombs of the Mayan nobility contained pottery vessels showing the process of preparing the chocolate as a drink -- a bitter, brown brew! (Recipe: roast and grind beans, mix with water, add spices preferably chilies, stir until frothy, and enjoy! For wimps, sweeten with a little honey.) In the 14th century, the Aztecs gained control of Central Mexico and also enjoyed cacao as a currency and a beverage. They mixed the ground bean with chilies, vanilla, allspice and honey. Then later Columbus on his 4th visit to the Americas captured a native trading canoe and found among its cargo some brown “almonds” which appeared to function as money, but it is believed that Columbus never tasted the chocolate. A good turkey hen of the time was worth 100 cocoa beans. Chocolate first gained popularity in Europe when the Spanish royal physician began to use it for medicinal purposes, as a fever reducer. Then by the mid 17th century chocolate became popular in Britain as a beverage for the wealthy.

  • Domingo Ghirardelli
    Domingo Ghirardelli (1817 - 1894) With the recent sale of Ghirardelli Square to Jamestown, an Atlanta-based real estate investment firm, I thought it would be interesting to look at the life of the man who started the signature San Francisco business which was located where the Square now stands. The huge Ghirardelli 15-foot sign that stands above one of the 12 buildings on the Square marks the place where chocolate was once made (1894-1964). Although Ghirardelli Chocolate is no longer owned by the Ghirardelli family and is no longer a product that is produced in San Francisco, the buildings and sign have become a landmark of San Francisco and a part of San Francisco history. According to Jamestown, 12.4 million visitors come to the shopping complex each year, making it a popular tourist destination. Domenico “Domingo” Ghirardelli was born on February 21, 1817 in the Santa Ana section of Rapallo, Italy (near Genoa) to a modestly successful merchant and his young wife. Rapallo was the busiest and largest of several settlements south of Genoa along the Ligurian Riviera--an idyllic region for an only son of a modestly successful merchant to be raised and learn a trade, except for the political realities of the day. In 1815, two years before his birth, the Congress of Vienna, as part of its liquidation of Napoleon’s European Empire, had ceded the centuries-old Republic of Genoa to the neighboring Kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia. The Genoese chafed at the loss of their independence and self-rule, and wanted nothing to do with rule by a corrupt monarchy.
