Another birthday present, this time from my wife's middle daughter. Another chocolate bar, and it's from a luxury brand in Argentina. This is what happens when your family knows your vices too well.

yeah, i like chocolate and pistachio, but Dubai chocolate is like... a waste of both.
at least it made pistachio cream more available?
#Vanilla Bean #Cheesecake with a top layer of whipped sour cream on a #chocolate (gluten free) crust. Topped with a simple fresh #strawberry topping.
Made this variant instead of the large version because I need company over to actually eat the large one before it spoils. This one I can eat in time with some help from nesting partner(s)
Some bonus pictures included.
These chocolate bunnies are foretelling nightmares for a select group of small Christian humans. They say less “happy Easter” and more “we’re so high right now.”
These arrived the other day! Such a great family and story.
Heute bei schönem Sonnenschein zur Arbeit geradelt und jetzt die Pralinentheke für euch Startklar gemacht.
Wir sind heute wieder von 10 Uhr bis 18 Uhr für euch da. Schaut in unserem kleinen Manufakturladen vorbei und schnackt bei einer Praline mit uns über die Schokoladenwelt.
My colleague Michael Wondrak has conducted an evaporation experiment of Ferrero-Rocher chocolate confection and compared it to our predictions for evaporation via a Hawking-like gravitational pair production, that we published recently https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2024arXiv241014734F/abstract
Unfortunately, the results don’t quite match the theory. Evaporation happened much quicker. Not sure why .
She's done it again. @evelynefoerster has created yellow brownies. They contain white chocolate and are yummie.
#MadeMyDay. Thanks very much.
This is awesome, from a family who moved to Canada to start a new life.
The local chocolate factory are working hard to make the best chocolate; milk chocolate with orange + wafer + sea salt.
Yes please!
@jkntech @goodthinking tempering is not required if you seed or use the "memory effect". Seeding in short: keep a little bit of your original material solid, rasp it fine and mix it with your liquid chocolate just before filling your moulds. Make sure the liquid is not warmer than 40⁰C.
Memory effect is better but a bit more complicated. Look up my 1999 patent on chocolate manufacturing for details. Expired so free to use.

Wacky Cake
This recipe comes from the Great Depression when butter, eggs, and milk were rationed.
DRY
1.5 cups flour
1 cup white sugar *
4 tbsp cocoa powder
1tsp baking SODA
1/2 tsp salt
WET
1 cup warm water
6 tbsp oil*
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp white vinegar
1. Preheat oven 350°F
2. Spray oil two 8"x8" baking pans. ** This needs to done BEFORE you mix the batter.
3. In a large bowl add all DRY ingredients and whisk well to distribute the baking soda evenly. Create a well in the center.
4. In another bowl, add and stir together all the WET ingredients.
5. Give the wet ingredients a quick stir to incorporate the oil and slowly pour into the DRY ingredients. Whisk together until all the lumps are gone. The batter will froth a bit because the vinegar and baking soda are reacting.
6. IMMEDIATELY divide the batter between the two baking pans. Tap the pans on the counter to remove any larger bubbles. Place in oven and bake at 350°F for 12-15 mins.
** Until tooth pock pulls clean.
* I use 3/4 cup of sugar and only 5 tbsp oil to reduce calories.
This cake also freezes well.
If you use 2 - 8"x8" pans the layers will be thin and will cook with 12-15 minutes.
** If use only 1- 8"x8" pan, it will take 18-20 mins.
Extra: instead of frosting, I add a handful of chocolate chips to top of cake when come out of oven to melt, then spread evenly w spatula. This creates a chocolate coating like on z dingdong.
Art 365: 042: Chocolates... I'm behind on sharing my daily watercolors. These three are based on some of the chocolates that Volenweider in Zürich make.
