No Rest for the Merry…

Mon Dieux! It’s been one Christmas Party after another for your favorite celebrity chef. I’ve been here… there… everywhere. But! I am taking the next 9 days to rest, because on Thursday, December 24th the masterpiece shall begin! (Of course, what of mine is not a masterpiece?) But on that night especially, I will be creating the most amazing dinner with so many side dishes it will boggle the mind. In fact, there is little time to create the entree. But no matter, I have the perfect solution: filet mignon! What people never seem to realize is that it is SO easy to cook and… it’s to die for! You really ought to try it!

The Dark Chocolate Diet?

Mon Dieux! Thanksgiving has come and gone. Of course the meal I whipped up was absolutely delicious as everyone knew it would be… but I really wasn’t quite satisfied with dessert. Yes, there was pumpkin and apple pie, blueberry tarts… but none of that really excited me. So here I am, days later, indulging in what I really wanted all holiday… these delectable Grand Marnier dark chocolate truffles. Aristotle must’ve felt my pain as he brought them over to me just this morning as a “thank-you” gift for cooking! He is so intuitive. And he has such a good memory! He said that Rico said at one of their work out sessions last year that dark chocolate is OK since it’s full of antioxidants and one knows you can NEVER get enough of those. What fantastic news! Now I can rationalize an all dark chocolate diet!
