Chocolate camp makes summer even sweeter
Summer camp creates sweet memories for countless kids every year and those memories are even sweeter when the camp involves dipping, decorating, and taste-testing chocolate. Peterbrooke Chocolatier at The Forum in Peachtree Corners offers a day camp for kids who have a major sweet tooth.
ATLANTA - Local "chocolate camp" even sweeter this summer:
Summer camp creates sweet memories for countless kids every year — and those memories are even sweeter when the camp involves dipping, decorating, and taste-testing chocolate!
We spent the morning at Peterbrooke Chocolatier at The Forum in Peachtree Corners, catching up with the shop’s owners and hanging out with the young chocolatiers taking part in summer camp there.
This year’s theme is ‘Blow Your Mind with Minecraft,’ which means activities include creating a pink pig, golden apple, and a creeper crunch — if you’re a Minecraft fan, you’ll understand those references!
Day camp runs Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.; cost is $50 per camper and lunch is included.
Representatives for Peterbrooke Chocolatier, which was founded back in 1983 in Florida and now has more than 20 locations throughout the region, say they were able to hold day camps for about 2,000 kids last summer, with extra health and safety protocols in place. Those interested in registration for this year’s day camps (which continue through August) may click here for more information.
Of course, we couldn’t resist the chance to dip and decorate all morning; click the video player to check out our morning at Peterbrooke Chocolatier.
Harvey Keitel on his latest role as infamous mobster "Lanksy:"
Oscar-nominated actor Harvey Keitel takes on another larger-than-life role in his latest film, the biopic "Lansky."
Written and directed by Eytan Rockaway, the film tells the story of real-life gangster Meyer Lansky, with whom Rockaway shares a unique connection.
"My father wrote a book about gangsters and interviewed Meyer Lansky before he passed away," says the filmmaker. "So, the reporter – David Stone in the movie – is loosely based on my father’s experiences and research and so I had that ‘in’ and that ‘gangster bug’ growing up and listening to his stories about gangsters."
Much of the film is set in 1980s Miami, as Keitel’s Lansky tells his life story to that down-on-his-luck journalist. For the legendary actor, those long scenes of discussion were key to understanding the mobster in his later years.
"Here was a person who wanted to paint his memory … for his family, his children, relatives, so that they knew him in a certain way, other than the nefarious things he had done," says the actor. "He wanted to be remembered as a father [who] cared about his son, would never abandon his son."
Keitel, of course, is also a larger-than-life figure, having appeared in cinema classics including "Taxi Driver," "Bugsy," "The Piano," and "Pulp Fiction." It’s a career that began with acting training from the legendary Stella Adler, who Keitel says passed on some memorable lessons.
"This one day, a girl got up to do something — an actress who was studying — and so, she finished her scene and Stella Adler asked her, ‘Well, darling, what do you want to tell us?’ She said, ‘Well, I’m content.’ And Stella Adler shot back out at her, ‘Darling, only cows are content!’ So, I never forgot that lesson!"
"Lansky" is playing now in select theatres and on-demand.
Jaidyn Triplett and father Joshua Triplett talk about the father-daughter duo's love for acting: Jaidyn Triplett is currently on the Nickelodeon series "iCarly." For more information on the Triplett Family Network on Youtube click here.
