Death to the Diet

Over at the local paper today, two references in one article that caught my eye:
  1. "Just the thought of frozen Thin Mints, ice cream and a splash or two of Kahlua spinning in the blender makes me want to do the happy dance." Me, too.
  2. Later in the article, "chili and cocoa" are listed among the top flavor pairings for 2008. This makes me happy, as I've been trying — with my limited culinary knowledge — to figure out how to use this dark chocolate linguine in a main-course dish, ever since I stumbled across it in Seattle's Pike Place Market last year.

  1. I'm okay with number 1, but number 2 makes my stomach grumble a little bit.

    Now that I've re-read what I typed, it sounds worse than I originally meant.

  2. Yummy. Very yummy. On both accounts. I have a black bean chili recipe that calls for chocolate and espresso. It's fantastic.
