It’s been a while. 2010 came and went with almost no updates. I’ve started a business, changed my hair a few times and had a few ups and downs. But now it’s time to get back to the blog and talk about all things food. FYI, I’ve been eating a lot of beets.
February 14th and I have a love/hate relationship. I’m no fan of silly hearts, roses or diamonds, but I do love candy–especially chocolate. In preparation for 2/14 I’ve picked a few new items and old favorites to highlight throughout the week.
Lake Champlain Chocolates
Old World Truffles – For those looking for a spicy kick in their truffles, these dark chocolates are just the treat. The package of six contains two each of: Spiced Sumatran, Aztec and Raspberry Pink Peppercorn flavored dark chocolate ganache covered in a layer of dark chocolate.
These Peanut Butter Cups are a more mature take on the classic candy combination. A delicate, yet not overly sweet, peanut butter layer is sandwiched between two layers of smooth milk chocolate. I’ve checked with the company and the peanut butter they use to create this confection is safe and not part of the recall. These especially hit the spot during a mid-afternoon sweet craving.

Sometimes a girl needs kitchen inspiration on the cheap, and that’s when a visit to Ichiban Kan is in order. No high-end pans or cutlery to be found here. Instead, the small store in San Francisco’s Japantown is stuffed full of cheap but super-cute goods for the kitchen and the rest of the house. The store is probably best known for carrying inexpensive bento boxes in a wide range of colors and sizes.
Below are just a few samples examples of little toys for the kitchen:
On my way to the Fancy Food Show today, and tomorrow is Food Fete — both here in SF. Look for posts all next week on new products, favorite tastes and even a few interviews.

Hey folks–I’ll be in Portland this weekend and plan to stop by the farmer’s market on Saturday, but am looking for suggestions for restaurants. I’ve done a little research and there seem to be so many that I need your help. I love greasy spoons and diners and would also like to try one of the many restaurants that focus on local foods.
