When the hunters claim their county bounty on hogs, do they have to present the whole carcass or just the ears? If they get whole carcasses, the county could probably have a huge processing/composting plant. . . but nobody would want to be downwind.

They just need a part. I forgot if it was ears or tail.

Chocolate is a pharmaceutical. :laughing: I'm addicted for life.

Dave,
Chocolate is a required substance to function.

Not wanting on your tractor?!?! You really are sick! Do you need an ambulance?

 

[sseelhoff]

Dark chocolate and Cabernet Sauvignon. Try it. You can thank me later.

 

[farmgirl19]

sseelhoff; Got any pairings with white wines, such as Riesling or Pinot Grigio? I'd even take a Chardonnay, if it isn't too dry! Hmmmm....Maybe I'll have to experiment next weekend!

Reisling pairs well with Milk Chocolate or Semi-Sweet. The right Sauvignon Blanc also pairs with milk chocolate as well. The general rule is that the wine should be sweeter than the chocolate so that the flavors come through.


Here's a link. If you google wine and chocolate, you can get several sites that discuss pairings that work well.

Cabernat Sauvinon and dark chocolate is really a great combination. I make a flourless dark chocolate cake and serve it with a rasperry reduction and the Cab. Outstanding.

Man, y'all gonna bust Ol' Lou's bubble. :cool2:

 

[Lou66]

Robbyr what do mean Old?...:laughing: unless you are talking about Don.. if so.. my bad.. Lou

 

[txdon]

Can't be me Lou. I'm not young, but not old yet, just in those awkward years....

 

[Western]

I dont think I'm old, but I think food effects me more now:laughing: For instance, last night we had "breakfast" for dinner, scrambled eggs turkey bacon, biscuits and gravy. Thinking of Don, I added allot of vitamin "C".......Cheese:shocked: This morning my plumbing is in total chaos!!:laughing:

Just ribb'n ya Don:thumbsup:

See light rain to the South! maybe it will work it's way North the next couple of days, 59.7* and moderate SE winds this morning

Interesting. I knew about the bacon and wine pairings, but not chocolate. :thumbsup:

While I will eat milk chocolate, I prefer the dark, and the dark also has the health (antioxidant) benefits. Now you really MUST share the recipe for the flourless cake!

Try a good bottle of Port and Dark Chocolate on a cold afternoon.........YUUUUUM.

Okay the more I read on here.. I am thinking maybe liquor is not the way to go.. We are not getting any younger,, we need something to make us feel young.. So now what do ya'll think about tuna and dark chocolate?.. with or without sugar,, salad or baked,, tuna stew with dark chocolate on the side or added when the soup is hot.:licking:.
I would like to come up with a slogan: Like it smells like tuna but taste like chocolate,, or What the heck is that?.. I don't know but it good for your heart,, ya'll know a selling point.. anyway think it over and let rest of us know your thoughts.. I am sure we can come up with something.. we are about half smart.:shocked:. the other half of us has a problem.:laughing:. Lou

 

[farmgirl19]

Lou; I don't think I could fathom the thought of even trying tuna and dark chocolate. I'd be like a kid and pick out the chocolate and feed the tuna to the dogs! However, I wonder how it would taste if one grated dark chocolate into a pot of pinto beans? :confused3:

 

[Lou66]

On the serious size for once and once only Farmgirl.. I do add couple of square un sweet dark chocolate to my chili.. Give just a bit of bitter.. Lou
