This week Posts of the Week has a theme, and it is chocolate!
I really did think that Culinary in the Desert should have changed to "Culinary and the Dessert" when Joe moved from Arizona to Maryland. Obscene chocolate love post includes Thick Mint Brownies and a Beef Tagine with Dried Plums and Toasted Almonds. Both of those recipes are going on my list to try.
Chocophile David Lebovitz interviews Frederick Schilling of Dagoba chocolate.

- Never Enough Chocolate
Is there anything sadder than an empty box of chocolates? I'm not sure there is. If your mom is as big a fan of chocolate as my mom is, consider pairing a box of chocolates with something chocolatey that will last a whole lot longer. Like a book...
- Culinary Confessions
I'm a thief. First I snagged the concept of Posts of the Week from Too Many Chefs. Now I brazenly bloglift Culinary Confessions from David Lebovitz. But at least I give credit. That counts for something, right? My confessions: I have never used my...
