Chocolate's Numbers Game

you're not entirely correct - while the percentage doesn't reflect quality, per se, it does have a great deal to do with the flavor, bitterness and overall sensation. a 99% bar will UNDOUBTEDLY be more bitter and less sweet than a 70% bar because there simply isn't enough % left over for sugar, vanilla or cocoa butter.

Dinner Tonight: Spaghetti with Rosemary

that looks so simple and delicious - it's freezing and miserable in SF right now so it looks even better.

my favorite "nice" brand of pasta is rustichella - we shouldn't eat 1/2 a pound of pasta anyway so it's not so expensive!

The Food Super Bowl — Boston vs. New York: No Contest

No good food in Boston? You guys are nuts.

Now i'll concede the food of New York is pretty incredible, but you've got to admit that none of the foods for which New York is known are really New York-ian...New York-ier? New York-y?

In any event, hot dogs, bagels, pizza, NY steak (come on, Ed, let's talk about marketing schemes), these are ethnic foods to be had the world-round.

But Boston? Where else can you find a delicacy so delectable and simple as a hot dog roll with lobster and mayonnaise?

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: D'Artagnan Heritage Smoked Ham

it has to be cornichons, good grainy mustard, sliced emmenthal and a light dose of chutney - a smooth chutney though, not chunky.

Mario Unclogged: The Hams of Italy

i hate to be the bearer of bad tidings, esp. to Mario, but the black footed serrano has been pushed back another 2 years! the USDA has refused to approve the slaughtering houses in Spain. Their suggestion to the Spaniards who make the ham? Truck your pigs to Holland for slaughter and then truck them back!

So we'll continue to wait - sorry to all those who put down payments for a leg!
