Hello. I'm just back from a long two week
trip for the EDJ. For those who follow me on Facebook, you've probably seen a
few of the pics I title: Chocolates From Around the World. Well, I'm going to
post a few for you. Then, later this week, I'm going to post some really great
shots from Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires. What a great opera house!
But let's talk chocolate to start.
Chocolate cake with ice cream and a dollop of vanilla - Milan, Italy. Beautifully plated. Gordon Ramsey would be proud.
Basically
tricked out chocolate brownies. A nice hotel welcome also in Sao Paulo. The candy coating I didn't try but it was pretty.
It's a
chocolate malt, with chocolate shavings and Oval-tine at my favorite
burger joint in Sao Paulo, Brazil. I don't know if it's impolite to slurp. See the chocolate drips down the inside? There was a great, gooey clump of chocolate at the bottom of my glass!
Profiteroles at Mr. B's Bistro in NOLA. These were
lip-smacking delicious. I almost went back a second day just to have these
again. BTW, Mr. B's was excellent all around.
Fondant
- Sao Paulo
Love this clever use of the spoon to sprinkle the chocolate powder.

There you have it! So I titled this "Nothing Like A Good Book... So I should also mention the good book I am reading right now. Mary Balogh's series The Survivor's Club, titled The Escape. Mary just has a way about making suffering beautiful especially when love is there to heal the wounds.
