Sweet Ticket Giveaway, Week 3: Pichet Ong's Guilty Pleasure Sweet

Ganache. It's just too easy! Chocolate chips covered with half-n-half warmed in the micro for 30 seconds or however long the amount requires, gently stirred, and then lucious happiness!

Hudson River Valley This Weekend

The Culinary is closed for summer break most of this month so I am afraid you are out of luck there. Rhinebeck, across the river from Kingston has wonderful restaurants, including Gigi Trattoria and Sabroso. Also, if you seek good, cheap sushi Osaka is great. Rhinebeck also has a good farmer's market on Sundays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Just north of Kingston is Saugerties, and there you will find Miss Lucy's Kitchen which is delicious. I am afraid I have not found a lot of great places to eat in Kingston, but if you do, please share. In case you're wondering, this Colorado chic relocated to the Hudson Valley from Denver two years ago.

The Serious Eats National Doughnut Honor Roll

I just discovered fresh doughnut holes at the Cherry Creek Farmers Market in Denver this past weekend. I forget the name of the stand, but you'll know it as they only sell fries (with delicious aioli) and doughnuts. The doughnuts are light, greaseless and go down easy. They are the best I've tasted in Colorado.

Guilty pleasure: many combinations of salty and sweet. Good chocolate with pretzels, popcorn, etc.

I have traversed to Cake Man Raven for some Red Velvet cake. I have done a top 10 cupcake run (in one day!). I can diagnose the intrinsic differences in the various gelati, soft-serve and custards throughout the city. However, my guilty pleasure or pleasures are far less culinary: Dairy Queen Skor Blizzard and the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup sundae from Friendly's:-)

Smores:, the graham crackers had to be cracked just right so they were squares from the original rectangles, and i had to pack as many marshmallows & chocolates as i could fit on the surface to glue the graham lid down. Mmmm.. they smelled amazing as they expanded and bloated to perfection!

Sweet Ticket Giveaway, Week 3: Pichet Ong's Guilty Pleasure Sweet

Well, since I don't know where those incredible moist, crumbly doughnuts my high school English teacher brought us that one time came from, I'm just going to say chocolate with a marzipan center.
