As I’ve mentioned on this blog more than quite a few times, I don’t subscribe to the commerce that seems to drive every celebration these days. Get on the internet and every other food site or blog has something strawberry or chocolate or heart shaped to ‘share” with you, and before you know it, you’re thinking about chocolate! Which reminded me that I had a chocolate post waiting to be posted, the Chocolate Pots de Crème I had made a couple of months back. Usually, when I'm irregular with my posts, one of the reasons is that I have some form of blogger's block or a photography block.
This time around, I have a a lot of photographs and the raw material for my posts, and its just about sitting down and getting it written up that's not happening. Cheat’s Chocolate Hazelnut Mousse. Life has a way of surrounding us with good people.

Scribbled in the back pages of my 8th grade yearbook, I remember my cheeks burning as I read this autograph. Most of the girls had a similar quote in theirs, but “books” was replaced with the word “boys.” Who's the Bosc? — Butter and Thyme. My Mom simply adores pears.
Bosc, and only Bosc, was all that she’d bring home. The same went for apples. Mom ate Fujis, and that was that. She would sit down with a knife and cut slice after slice, eagerly slurping pieces up one after another. I remember time after time I would try to join her, only to be thwarted by the rough texture of the skin on the Boscs (just thinking about it gives me goose bumps). Quick Buttermilk Biscuits.
I'm all for fast food made at home.

Browsing my favorite cookbook (Patricia Wells, At Home in Provence), I noticed her recipe for an apricot-honey-almond tart, one of the few recipes in the book I’ve never tried.
I came home from the farmer’s market a couple of days ago with only two apricots, but I also had a couple of peaches, a couple of plums, and a basket of strawberries, so I used them all. I LOVE this tart! The crust and cream filling are not terribly sweet, and the fruit flavor is intensified by the time in the oven. Julia Child’s Madeleines de Commercy. It’s impossible to cook a Julia Child recipe without summoning her in some way.

Don’t talk to me about those nasty little packets of “madeleine” by the cash register at your Starbucks. They’re awful, with texture seemingly composed, somehow, of paraffin. Those buckets of shell-shaped stuff masquerading as madeleines at Costco are not much better. Chocolate-Filled Hazelnut Cookies. Gourmet Worrier. I've subscribed to both Gourmet Traveller and Delicious magazines for almost ten years now, but of late I've been increasingly frustrated with their repetitive content and the amount of advertising that keeps creeping into each new publication. So towards the middle of last year I made a conscious decision to pull back and have since ceased both subscriptions. Nowadays I look for inspiration amongst the many and various food blogs out there and have been pleased with the rich content that is freely available to me.
I have also treated myself to a couple of new and inspiring cookbooks as I felt that I needed to challenge my skills and broaden my cooking base.
