Chocolate
thefourthvine and I got into a conversation about chocolate and she asked for my favorites. I felt it would be easier to post a list here than try to do it on Twitter:D
Here are my faves. I have listed them by producer and then bar.
Patric's Madagascar 75%
Mill Creek Salted
Chocolatl de David's Brown Butter
Amano Dos Rios
DH also likes Dick Taylor Dominican (or salted/fleur de sel), but I'm not a huge fan.
The Meadow is awesome. If you are in/near Portland, you should go. They also have a store in NYC, but it's more expensive. www.caputosdeli.com has a great selection.
We are still mourning the loss of Steve deVries from the market. His chocolate was amazing, but he apparently stopped producing to take care of his ailing mother:( :(
Any questions? I should mention that the chocolate I actually eat the most of are these little chocolate chunks. I won't tell you how much we have in our basement. We believe these used to be the 365 brand dark chocolate mini-chunks, but alas, they discontinued them and so now we have to buy them in bulk.
(Also, for people who think my to do/ta da lists are impressive, let me tell you I spent most of the day in bed or eating. I hope to finish watching a third show before I go to bed. I accomplished very little. My hormones had a different agenda, but I listened to them and have not crashed, so it was worth it.)
ETA: The Felchin Elvesia couverture discs are quite yummy too. :D
