Over the course of my chocolate obsession blogging, I’ve been lucky enough to taste chocolate from all over the world. Today, however, marks the first time I’ve reviewed chocolate from the Middle East, courtesy of my lovely friend Robyn of Girl On Raw. As for the second part of this Chocolatepalooza, well, I’ve reviewed Fremantle [...]
Free chocolate at Koko Black When I recently asked for poetry recommendations after showing you a poem by Pablo Neruda, my mother responded by giving me The Bee Hut, a collection of poetry by the late Dorothy Porter. Oh, how it sears into me. I’m only halfway through, but I see echoes of my own [...]

We all make mistakes sometimes. These mistakes can be immediately insignificant and easily forgivable, like the time I mixed up baking powder and baking soda and served my family an utterly flat Indian Corn Pudding. Lesson learnt from this mistake: Read the recipe properly. Sometimes, mistakes can be mortifying, and it can take years for [...]

First and foremost, I have to say the most splendiferous, exuberant, metaphorical-hug-filled, joyous, honoured, grateful, and shimmering thank you to everyone who emailed, texted, messaged, and blog-commented such wonderful birthday wishes to me yesterday.

Here’s a photo to jog your memory: Several of you wonderful people immediately dashed off to your kitchen(s) to try your hand(s) at this decadent nut butter, and I was elated to discover that you [...]

There are quite a few things I enjoy doing in life that aren’t entirely, completely, incontrovertibly, or 100% good for me (or the world around me). Such enjoyable-but-naughty-ish habits include: 1. Sitting directly in front of the heater during winter with a light cardigan on, rather than putting on layers and coping with the cold [...]

The more dessert-focused among you might’ve noticed that my chocolate reviews have been few and far between of late. There is a reason for that. I’ve decided to give up chocolate. It’s gross. Gross and brown. Gross and brown and made of puppy dog’s tails. Happy April Fourth Fool’s Day! Gosh, I’m so clever sometimes. [...]

As much as I’m loathe to admit it, there are moments in life when half a block of chocolate won’t cut it. And there are moments in life when four consecutive heaped dessertspoons of sunflower seed butter, eaten with your eyes closed, won’t stem the panic. Even devouring half a packet of sour Warheads, and [...]

For anyone visiting from Oh She Glows, welcome! Just for you, I’m posting the vegan chocolate pudding recipe I made for my dad’s birthday dinner last week. Enjoy! While I was standing at the stove-top stirring the above vegan chocolate pudding into existence, I thought about some of the traits that my dad and I have [...]
