Chocolate mousse

We went out to dinner once and my dad ordered a bottle of Merlot. The waitress replied, "Oh, you mean Mer-LOT?" Her pronunciation was especially humorous since my dad is a winemaker...

When I need to soften butter, I put the stick on a cutting board and hit it a few times with a rolling pin, rotating the stick if necessary. The butter softens and there's no risk of accidentally overcooking it in the microwave!

I started using a Bialetti Moka Express a week ago - life changing, highly recommended! The best espresso I've had outside of Italy.

Second to Italian is Greek food for me.

I can't even tell you the last time I had rice. For me, I must have a fresh loaf of bread at all times - that's my carb of choice.

Love this idea!

Many thanks for including my lemon blueberry bites!

I've grown up in the digital media generation and do much (95%) of my reading and research online. I just got an iPad and have started using it in the kitchen while baking and cooking.

With that said, the thought of cookbook extinction tugs at my heart. Despite the digital age we are immersed in, nothing is more pleasurable than sitting down with a print cookbook and savoring each page. Print cookbooks may seem "impractical" to many, but they will always have a home in my kitchen.

Thanks for the review! I just got an iPad and have started using it in the kitchen. I've just been propping it in a small countertop easel that normally holds cookbooks, but I was thinking about investing in a chef stand.
