Champagne Truffle from Moonstruck Chocolates June 10, 2010
In celebration of…something…I am sure there’s something to celebrate…I got a Champagne Truffle from Moonstruck Chocolate!
Description:
One of our most elegant truffles. An ivory chocolate ganache, infused with a champagne reduction and enrobed in dark chocolate, then hand-dipped in ivory chocolate. Hand-decorated with a dark chocolate swirl and topped with edible 22-carat gold.
Hospital Food Is…Delicious? June 8, 2010
I am in love with this gem of an omelet I found at the OHSU (Oregon Health Science University) hospital cafeteria. What?! Yes!
There is a spunky Yugoslavian woman there who makes omelets in the morning and HOLY-BOPPALooLee she makes a good one. Dare I say, it’s the best one in Portland?! It is full of whatever you want, from green onion to sun-dried tomatoes, numerous cheeses (including feta) and meats, and a whole lotta yum yum. She even puts cheese on both sides, all for under $5.
This is very much a cheesy mass of delicious.
Unintentional Farina Sculpture June 6, 2010
One of my comfort foods is farina, made thick and buttery, with soy milk and agave nectar. It settles my tum-tum when she’s cranky unlike most anything else.
In this particular case, I made more than usual and had to use 2 small bowls. To my delight, after taking a photograph of the super cute bunny bowl of warmth, and deciding to eat it all, I went to combine everything in one bowl and Voilà–art was created.
Neat.
Unexpected Ethiopian Food June 2, 2010
Expected Ethiopian Food is good but unexpected Ethiopian food is somehow even better. My dear husband brought home the Veggie Platter from Dalo’s Kitchen on N. Vancouver Avenue here in Portland, Oregon.
The injera kinda looks like a swan/intestines in this photo, but it was darned tasty (as swans and/or intestines can presumably be à la the Food Network/Travel Channel.)
This glorious feast was from Dalo’s Kitchen–our favorite Ethiopian here in Portland-and even more so than the Ethiopian Restaurant on Colfax in Denver!
