Valentine's Day Chocolate Giveaway

Dark chocolate, since I was a little girl and my grandparents brought some back from Europe. Until then, the closest I had ever had was semi-sweet chocolate chips. The box they brought back had 25 pieces, and I made them last through the summer letting little bits/bites of heaven melt on my tongue each day. Since then, I have had many different dark chocolates and I marvel at their variations. Given the choice...I will always eat dark chocolate, it IS chocolate.

Cooking with Kids: That's Entertainment

cooking with kids reminds us of the time before we knew what we were doing, and the sheer joy of creation. my children learned because as a single mom I believed they had to have the skill. My grandkids learn for the sheer joy of doing things together, and now of creating.

good for you for bringing the joy to your daughter.

What's your favorite type of apple?

Honeycrisp are by far the best. If there are none then Granny Smith has to be it.

Are You Affected by Rising Food Prices?

if we paid the costs of the growth and preparation of food, we would see some major changes in how we eat. Corporate America has a concept called unit budgeting and as much as I hate corp america, if we applied the concept to the food we eat and how it gets to us, we would pay a lot more, and eat a lot less.

Dogs in the Kitchen

our dogs know they are allowed in the dining area but not the cooking area. they will wait patiently to be tossed scraps.

When I joined the household there were dogs used to being where they wanted to be....not so much in my kitchen. It's dangerous for them and for me. It took about a week before we had an imaginary line that they did not cross when I was in the kitchen.

Kids and grandkids understood that pre-helping they could be in the kitchen in highchairs (strapped in), and learning came with a hat, an apron and a stool for them to stand on. I have had some great helpers over the years, they have had fun and learned how to behave in the kitchen (safe).

What's your favorite type of apple?

@frenchassassin: Haven't tried the Piñata but it's related of my current favorite, the Cameo. Both are part Golden Delicious. Cameo is G/D + Red Delicious. Funny, because I dislike both G/D and R/D apples. I believe Pinata is G/D + Cox's Orange Pippen + Duchess of Oldenberg. That's some diverse parentage.

I'll be on the lookout for Piñata. Sounds like my kind of apple.
