I was talking about chocolate chocolate chip muffins I'm definitely more partial to traditional chocolate chip cookies! I am firmly in the the third category! I do think there's such as thing as too much chocolate. That being said, I do have a fantastic chocolate pancake recipe. lol!I have never turned my nose up at a chocolate chocolate chip cookie, but will admit to being partial to the traditional chocolate chip ones.
Once you put sugar in something and throw it in the "sweets" category, I am very open minded about it.
That said, I do believe the world can be divided into three categories - the intellectual are thinking Judeo-Christian / Islam / Buddhism - but I'm thinking (1) those who like their sweets to be chocolate and are dismissive of the next category which is (2) non-chocolate sweets including things made with butterscotch, vanilla, coconut, caramel, etc. and (3) those who (like me) comfortably and without prejudice cross over into both categories.
My dad leaned heavily to the first category, so much so, that he put chocolate ice-cream on his apple pie (which, even as a kid, seemed a bit nuts to me). Vanilla ice-cream on apple pie is Fred and Ginger, you don't mess around with that combo.
My best-friend's wife is such a chocoholic that she will preview the dessert menu at the start of the meal and query the waiter about the "chocolateness" of this or that desert before he or she's even taken our drink order. I've also learned not to let her order desserts for the table as she goes totally selfish and there will be nothing but chocolate desserts even if she has to double up on an order to avoid having a non-chocolate dessert on the table.
My wife made Caramel Rolls while at the farm. This is a half recipe! We gave most of them away, but they will probably be part of breakfast tomorrow as well.
Haven't perused this thread in a few days. Damn, Bob!
Pb&j (apricot preserves) on toasted buttermilk waffles (called a "waffle-wich" in our household), and the most perfect cup of tea - Harney & Sons Tower of London made with organic Turbinado sugar & a splash of whole milk.
