There is no mystery to why gourmet truffles taste so good - all you have to do is use the best chocolate. Despite being decadently delicious, truffles are actually easy and quick to make.
Dark Chocolate Truffles (and Easy Variations)
1/4 cup unsalted butter
3 tablespoons heavy cream
4 ounces of dark chocolate, chopped
2 tablespoons liqueur (choose any flavor: orange, coffee, black current, raspberry, etc) (Tip: if you are making chocolate-orange truffles, add 1 teaspoon orange zest.)
Start thinking of a toaster oven as a substitute for your full size conventional oven and not as a substitute for your four slice toaster. You want to look for a convection toaster oven. Convection ovens circulate heated air using a high temperature fan. Food heats faster in a convection oven because the fan blown air disturbs the thin layer of insulating air that otherwise surrounds the food.
The tradition of flavoring tea goes back many centuries. Nearly as long as tea has been made it has been flavored. However, it is said that the idea for flavoring tea came about as a bit of an accident. Many years ago tea gardeners in China planted other trees to provide shade and moisture for their tea plants.
They soon discovered that the tea trees that were planted near certain trees, such as peach, plum magnolia and apricot trees produced teas that had absorbed the aroma and flavor of the fruit and flower tree’s blossoms. You’ll note that some teas are considered flavored, while others are considered scented. Flavored teas actually taste of the addition used, while scented teas have merely absorbed the addition’s fragrance.

I would in all probability be reduced to tears, if I were to trip into the kitchen in the morning and break my pot. Don’t you dare shatter my coffee pot, instead you can unplug my television, take away the stove! If you dare break one, only droning is what my poor husband would hear, until a replacement of the coffee pot.
No, I’m really not kidding. I have a theory that all the hate that exists for this fine establishment originated in the days of old and people have not fairly readjusted their views. I might even throw Taco Bell’s menu on a list of most improved over the past 5 years. Everytime I look up there are new items and it seems they are all straight gold.
Unfortunately, I no longer live in the near vicinity of this glorious spot, but recently I found myself once again entering the storied walls. It was a stirring experience bringing back memories of first jobs and glorious meals alike. While old favorites like chili cheese burritos, soft tacos, and gorditas still grace the menu, my focus these days tends to be on the newer items.
Up until 1992 all espresso coffee cups could only purchased in either white or with a company logo upon them. It was then the decision of Illy Caffe that they would combine art with espresso and they commissioned Matteo Thun to help design their first espresso cup. The design is considered by the owner of Illy Caffe (Francesco Illy) to be the perfect cup even though its design is very simple. Now with many coffee connoisseurs around the world, these types of cups have become collector’s items.
Wine is becoming the mealtime beverage of choice in many American homes, just as it has been in European homes for centuries. But as more American households become home to more and more bottles of wine, the issue of where to keep the lovely elixir until it is time to imbibe can be a problem. So thousands of American households have now, and gratefully, discovered the wine storage rack.

A couple of years ago KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) used the following slogan in their ads, “There’s fast food, and then there is KFC.” Although they were trying to suggest that their food was in a class above the typical fast food restaurants, I took it to mean “slow service” (which I found to be true on more than one occasion).
I had my first “Whopper” from Burger King in 1966 in Chicago. As a kid, I loved their char grilled burgers with fresh ingredients. I haven’t had one in years but recently I ordered a Whopper at our local Burger King and was incredibly disappointed with the service and product. I got something that was whipped together with little expertise and mashed down. Frankly, it didn’t resemble anything like what I first experienced 41 years ago.
