Posted by on Feb 14, 2010 in Cooking | 0 comments Valentines Day around here means one thing: It’s all about The Hunka. He gets his annual meal of Chicken in Port Wine Sauce and Asparagus-filled Crepes. Good stuff. I goofed around most of the morning, and then decided I probably needed to get busy.

The Perfect Chocolate Biscuit

Posted by on Aug 14, 2007 in Cooking, Ramblings | 0 comments I have created the perfect chocolate biscuit. The first batch I made were good, but pretty fudgy. This last batch? Ooo-la-la, boy oh boy, BABY! They were truly a biscuit. You could close your eyes and take a bite and your first thought would be “Mmmm, that’s a good biscuit. Wait…was that chocolate?!” I can’t wait to send these to the folks. They are going to RAVE...
