Green Tea Caramels & Curried White Chocolate Cashews

Green Tea Caramels, White Chocolate Curry Cashews & Dark Chocolate Pistachios

Green Tea Caramels

LOVED… The flavors of white chocolate and green tea work beautifully together. But, when you add rich caramel to the equation it gets dangerously good. These are addictive.

Elderflower Syrup @ Ikea

Elderflower Drink, Elderflower Syrup, Swedish Mustard & Hazelnut Chocolate

Elderflower Drink & Syrup

We’re both fans of St Germain liqueur. (The delicate floral liqueur that hints of sweet white flowers baking in the summer sun, honey and some sort of wispy barely-there taste of citrus and lychee.) So, […]

Vosges Gianduja Bar

Gianduja (or Gianduia) = Chocolate Hazelnut Praliné

What’s better than chocolate? Chocolate with hazelnuts… in any form. This milk chocolate bar is smooth, creamy and decadently rich. Yet, it’s still all about the hazelnuts. If nutella had a sexier, more elegant sister… it would be […]

Vincent Bakery Cafe

Chestnut & Black Sesame

This is a favorite combination of ours. Chestnut and black sesame. The sweetness of the chestnut is the perfect companion to the dark nutty, smoky flavor of sesame. And, the pastry dough is tender, caky and buttery. This is one yummy pastry. Love it.

The Goods @ Mediterranean Bakery

Green walnut preserves, date molasses, carob molasses and two ma’moul cookie presses…

This is just a small glimples into the three rows of dry and canned goods offered at Mediterranean Bakery. They also have three refrigerated cases with cheeses, double cream, yogurt, yogurt drinks and an assortment of […]

Mediterranean Bakery & Sandwich

Lovely and delicious, shreds of crispy dough are stuffed with pistachio and drizzled with honey. The nutty richness of the pistachios keep this pastry from dipping into the too sweet category.

Each nicely charred piece of tender lamb on the kabob has a touch of […]

Humbles & Nuts

Spicy Marcona Almonds

It’s nice when a food claiming to be spicy turns out to actually be spicy. These rich almonds had a lovely dusting of smoky, fiery spices. We both agreed, a touch less salt would be nice. But, they were still finger lickin’ good.

Purple Chip Mix

Mixed Root Chips

We really enjoyed these. Sliced paper thin, they were crunchy… yet delicate. And, the sweet potato chips had that sweet and salty thing going on… why aren’t sweet potato chips more popular?

Yucatekas

Mild spice & vinegar flavored […]

Alon’s House-Ground Burgers

Homemade BBQ-grilled Burger on Mini Ciabatta

Another visit to Alon’s… and we made another great find.

We were browsing with some interest at a rather nondescript vacuum-sealed package of ground beef.

Three-Cut Ground Beef of Hanger, Chuck, & Brisket

And, one of the […]

Dark Chocolate Goji Berries & Avocado Oil Chips

Dark Chocolate Covered Goji Berries

With a hard texture that is tougher to chew than your standard raisinette or chocolate covered blueberry, we can’t say they’re our favorite chocolate covered berry. But, they are interesting. Some of the goji berries are crunchy… others are chewy. It’s a bit disconcerting. They […]
