I bought it at the farmer's market on Saturday and ate it for a treat at work on Monday. I would have eaten it on the weekend but I bought a couple more of those fritters I posted about a couple weeks ago so I had to pace myself
Super dense and fudgy, with chocolate chunks. It was large enough I could have cut it in half and saved the rest for another day, but who the hell only eats half a brownie?
Wow that is a huge brownie!0 -
Danish:
This is an older pic but it's the same recipe. Mine wasn't very pretty by this morning-- the icing has a tendency to dissolve by day 3.0 -

I like that you seem to have solved one of my chief complaints with cheese Danish which is usually the good stuff is a blob in the middle and you have to eat your way into it, by the time you get there, it's too much filling not enough pastry... Yours looks more evenly dispersed. Well done Amber!

That's my chief complaint with them too-- this recipe has you make a braid so there's cheese throughout the entire thing. It works well for slicing.0 -
Looks amazing.0

I made these to bring into work for Valentine's Day. Red velvet sugar cookies with cream cheese frosting. The cookies were soft and I want to eat a bowl of the frosting. They were gone in about 30 minutes.
ETA: recipe because my picture looks bad. http://lecremedelacrumb.com/2015/01/red-velvet-sugar-cookies.html0 -

Looks like it came from a fancy bakery! Yum!0 -
Yum to both the brownie and the cookies.0

Some talk in the "Let's Discuss It All" thread sent my on a walk downtown to a local ice cream store looking for cinnamon ice cream (which I haven't had in forever). No luck; on the way back I decided to pop into Trader Joe's for some sort of treat for my valentine -- anybody had one of these?
I was told that it has Pop Rocks in it, and indeed the label indicates that in addition to a little bit of chipotle and pasilla chilis and some cayenne, there is indeed "popping candy" in the bar. I will have to convince my wife to share a little bit with me.

Hmmm brownies, cheesecake, danish, and chocolates. I want it all.
I've been drooling over those danishes for like...Two years now. I look at other danish and judge it based on how close to Acrylics danish it looks and I wonder why not even bakeries I've been to seem up on the braid thing, which does seem like it'd have a better pastry to filling ratio.0 -

Homemade pots de creme from the blender:
It was pretty good-- not bad for 2 minutes of work.0 -
Tis the season. Husband went to The Elegant Tuffle (click the link. Chocolate porn awaits) I drooled.
Dark chocolate and sea salt truffles
Fudge brownie covered in milk chocolate (because why not?)
Edit: I was told it was brownie but it's actually the most amazing caramel I've ever had in life. I could drown in this.
Someone may need to come and take it away from me. It's that good
A milk and dark chocolate covered marshmallow that I totally ate half of before taking this picture because it was really really good. (Seriously I normally hate this kind of thing, but the inside wasn't overly sweet so it wasn't one of those sticky cloying affairs)0 -

Pics are pretty horrible since it was so dark.
I had tres leches, which was fantastic:
And the boy had tiramasu; it was good, but I feel like they were a little heavy handed on the cocoa sprinkled on top.

My wife and I escaped the kids and are up in Guerneville on the Russian River. Here in town there's a crazy creative restaurant (mostly Korean) that only serves dinner and desserts because it shares its space in a classic diner with a more traditional breakfast and lunch place - so in the mornings you can get classic pancakes and eggs at "Pat's" seated on vinyl stools at the counter, and then come back to the same vinyl stool in what's now "Dick Blomster's" for hand cut Seoul fries with garlic, Korean chilis, green onions, sesame, seaweed, and kimchi aioli. It's like the restaurant is Bruce Wayne by day and Batman by night!
We stopped in for dessert and shared this:
It was very, very good!

Yum!!! My dessert yesterday was a pint of ice cream, lol.
CVS has their Valentine stuff 50% off and I got two huge boxes of Lindt premium truffles, I got two of those as my dessert for today...0 -
