HAPPY BIRTHDAY KERRY!

I miss you and I hope you have an awesome birthday tomorrow with lots of cake and champagne and presents!

"Sea Star" Chocolate Bar

This was an impulse buy at Eastside Marketplace yesterday. A locally-made chocolate bar? This could not be passed up. It's a 64% cacao bar with sea salt - you can kind of make out the sea salt below:



I love how the bar is totally smooth (please ignore the missing chunk I broke off and devoured before taking the pic). I don't think I've ever seen a chocolate bar that didn't have the company name stamped into it or that wasn't segmented into little squares. The aesthetics of a blank, shiny piece of dark chocolate are very pleasing.


And above all, this was so delicious it has instantly become one of my favorite bars. Salt and chocolate may seem like a weird combination, but one taste and you will be a believer!

"Chicken" Salad

Made this salad using Quorn cutlets. Quorn is meat and soy-free and instead is composed primarily of "mycoprotein," "myco" being Greek for "fungi." So I guess they are fungi patties. I can hear you gagging, but don't knock 'em till you try 'em! They're good!
