All Things Chocolate

As Andi mentioned, we had a chocolate taste test yesterday. We tasted four cakes and a brownie, simply to compare and contrast them. We also tried some new chocolate candy. (Gosh my job is hard.)

If you haven't already guessed, Andi and I have extremely different perspectives on food. Andi had a whole slew of adjectives and opinions about each item we tasted. She found one cake "crumbly, but moist" and "hard to cut" but "worth every calorie." She thought the brownie was "ordinary" but followed that up with, "that's not necessarily a bad thing for a basic brownie." She thought one recipe called for a "weird pan size," and described a frosting as tasting like "deep, dark fudge."

Me? Sitting there with a little over ½ pound of chocolate on my plate (I actually weighed it), the only thing I could offer up was, "Wow. This is good."

Golly! I think, no, I know how horrible it would be to have to taste all of the entries! I make a chocolate cake that I've been told it's better than s__! Every time I take it to church on Wednesday night for our suppers it is gone so fast that if you lag behind it's GONE!!!!!!!!!!!! I, of course, always cut apiece for me to eat at home afterwards! If you want the recipe, let me know. I'm always happy to share.<div></div>

The comments about the taste review really made me laugh! I am a recipe editor for a large regional supermarket chain. We conduct several taste reviews each month and this sounds just EXACTLY like some of the comments we get from our reviewers. It's always nice to know that some things are the same, no matter where you are.<div></div>
