Valentine's Day Chocolate Giveaway
Milk chocolate is my absolute favorite.
Fresh vegetables! I especially crave steamed broccoli that is sauteed with a bit of olive oil and lots of garlic.
I love the Barefoot Contessa Outrageous Brownies. They're incredibly good. Also, David Lebovitz's Dulce de Leche brownies are amazing. If I want something quick and easy, surprisingly, the one bowl brownie recipe on the back of a box of Baker's unsweetened chocolate is excellent.
I made a wonderful chocolate cake topped with fluffy white 7-minute frosting for a birthday several months back. It came out perfectly and the frosting has become my "go to" recipe ever since.
Bringing flavors together in a harmonious way. Pairing different foods, spices, and flavors is much like pairing a wine with your meal. It took experience for me to learn this.
I shop at Hannaford and have noticed the star ratings pop up within the past year. If I remember correctly, I read that even the one star rating has a certain level of nutrition it has to meet, so something like bacon, even a leaner cut, would not get a star at all.
I think the system is probably helpful for people who don't have a lot of knowledge of what's healthy, or they don't do a lot of cooking. For someone like me, and probably a lot of us here, we're not going to grab a box of Healthy Choice cookies with a 2-star rating because we still know it is a lot of unnatural/processed crap. But for a person who normally goes for the package of double-stuff Oreos (and damn they are tasty), the star rating guide at least steers them in a "better" direction.
I have to second the Baker's brownie recipe. Best brownies EVER!
As a VT neighbor, Ben & Jerry's has a special place in my heart and emotionally, is probably my favorite. I also admit I love their creative and quirky flavors and flavor names. When it comes to pure taste, especially for basic flavors, Haagen-Dazs wins.
Silvertone in the Back Bay has the best comfort food and the dining room has this great moody, retro vibe.
Seared tuna with a very rare center. Perfect.
