I feel like you are making up for all the good stuff I missed at my house when I was growing up. What I got was mostly the result of The Duke's alcohol consumption and interest in firearms coupled with a sincere distaste for rock music and long hair. Yes, chocolate is a one-time thingie for the most part. It's tricky; Strict Temperature Management, worse than salt water fish tanks. I learned this from watching my wife, who makes gourmet desserts every so often. I must thank you once again for your sharing. I really feel like I could walk in your front door and feel at home. I'll call ahead, of course.

I see TLC has already posted to you about chocolate. There are tricks you can use, in fact, to work around chocolate's vexing nature, or, as we foodies pretentiously call them, "trucs." I would simplify by saying, never try to make chocolate-dipped strawberries when you are in a hurry, it will sense your anxiety and try to thwart you. These things, which seem so simple, are bravura pieces, to be tossed off as if nothing by a true virtuoso, or made the day before by the rest of us. There are very good foodie sites on the web, if you are interested, you can link to Gourmet Magazine, Fine Cooking, Cook's Magazine, and recipe sites where you can enter ingredients and it will give you recipes for what you have on hand. These are good places to start: gourmetspot.com epicurious.com This is Fine Cooking magazine: taunton.com This is Cook's magazine: cooksillustrated.com ***** I suspect it all went better than you are letting on, but I see you do sometimes go into denial, I remember when you got that new driver's license, you were sick and you said you looked like hell.

I know that's funny, Penni, but it's painful. I don't know what's the matter with me. It's too real. I must have scars. Eeeek. I can't stand it.
