This Month’s Film: Travellers and Magicians
Cuisine: Bhutanese

Today was spent preparing three chocolate confections for a food writing assignment: Chocolate Chili Pepper Kisses, Classic Chocolate Mousse, Chocolate Seduction Torte. The ingredient list included unsweetened cocoa powder, milk chocolate chips, bittersweet baking chocolate, and unsweetened white chocolate.

And chilling in my refrigerator at the moment are four parfait glasses of chocolate mousse, and a bowl of chocolate ganache spiced with chili powder that will become bite-sized chocolate kisses dusted with cocoa powder. The day got away from me before I got around to the Chocolate Seduction Torte and the Mayan Hot Chocolate. But then, tomorrow IS another day…
