:bounce: I realized yesterday as I fine tuned my profile that this month is my 1st year anniversary at Chef Talk!
Granted, I've drifted in and out, but there is a core of people (you know who you are darlings) that kept me in the loop, checked up on me and gave me more support than you'll ever know. Nicko, I use the mugs everyday, I don't drink coffee anymore, but my tea always tastes sweeter out of them.
Cape Chef, Mezzaluna, Nick.Shu, Shroomgirl, MaryeO, Nicko of course, and where would I be without Momoreg?!
If I left out your name don't be concerned I can't name everyone, but you're all important to me.
No presents please, just send food!!!

Just curious what don't you like about fruit & chocolate mix?

 

[mezzaluna]

Here's to many more anniversaries! I am humbled to be part of your enthusiasm for this site :blush: . Your insights and love of cuisine are what make this place so great, Chrose.

Isa,
I think a lot of it depends on the combination. Part of it comes from when I was a kid and all those cheap chocolates people used to bring over with the fruit and chocolate things. Some things I like some I merely tolerate. I understand the combinations and enjoy using them as I know people love them. I'm just a bit of a purist when it comes to my chocolates. I like chocolate and nut combinations. If I'm combining fruits and chocolates for myself I prefer adding oils and or purees and the like not actual pieces of the fruits. Chocolate dipped strawberries? No thanks, Raspberries on my Torte? No thanks.
Lemon Zeste in a Semi Sweet Truffle? Bring it on baby! Candied Orange peel dipped in Milk Chocolate okay. Raspberry Ganache mmm. Do you see?
Now give me a Reeses Cup and I'm in hog heaven!!!:bounce:

Now if I could only recall where I hide the Reeses Cup.
