Lol. I love the opening animation. After having read Michael Pollan's The Omnivore's Dilemma I want to do the same thing and visit a farm and witness the actual killing of what I eat. Since I absolutely love meat I feel obligated to do so.

I think it was called a Dark Chocolate Pastille but it was basically a pastry consisting of a very thin and flaky crust filled with the most decadent tasting dark chocolate filling ever. It was accompanied by a very refreshing raspberry sorbet to help cut the richness of the chocolate. I thought I'd die and gone to chocolate heaven.

chocolate with peanut butter and banana filling. =)

My fondest memory happened just last year at my boyfriend's cousins' (they decided to hold all the birthdays of that month on one day) birthday party. He's Filipino and if you know Filipinos they love having any excuse to throw parties centered around food. And birthdays are always an excellent opportunity to have an entire roasted pig. I can't begin to tell you how drool inducing that pig was. The skin was so crispy, it beats chips any day. Yeah, we made fine work of the poor fellow by the end of the evening.

Rum raisin whole wheat oatmeal cookies. When I first made them I didn't think they'd do well, but they're now always the first thing gone.

Thanks for the link! Now just let me make sure that this is correct (the way the recipe was written on the page was kinda odd):
2 large eggs
pinch salt
1 (1)2 cup sugar (does this mean 1/2 cup?)
zest of 1 large orange, finely grated
1 teaspoon orange flower water (optional) (where can I find this?)
1 cup all-purpose flour
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
Confectioners' sugar, for finishing

The majority of madeleines that I've had growing up have been of the Almondine kind (which explains why I was never quite fond of them for the better part of my childhood) until I tasted one a friend of mine brought from a bakery somewhere (can't quite remember but that was like a decade ago...) Sadly I can't find anyplace in San Diego that sells exceptional ones...

Tiramisu! I love its strong flavor and light texture.

My mom's curry. I've had many kinds of curry throughout my life (Japanese, Indian, Thai, etc.) Nothing beats my mom's Cambodian style curry eaten with a loaf of warm fresh crusty French baguette. And of course I'd eat it with my mom and dad.
