intimate close-up of edible love
Chocolate truffles have always been a favorite of mine. My first job ever, when I was 15 just happened to stock them. Years later I found myself employed at Teucher Chocolatier. The job lasted one day as I lacked the flamboyance the manager was looking for. I was a dumpy college kid!
Inspired by one of my heroes, Mark Bittman of the New York Times, these ganache truffles are so simple to make and for now I will say that the sharp pain developing in my abdomen is probably psychological or may be attributed to some mysterious other chemical element. The NYT video shows the whole evil mess in under 4 minutes. Just click here.
I'm more than happy to have stumbled onto the treasure of learning how to make them. Mixed with my glee is a stabbing uneasiness that I have found the love of my life all too late. The ecstasy is combined with the daunting notion of attainability with a price too painful to pay. Enough chocolate drama. No more than two for now. And I can look at all the pictures I want!
Some things are just worth a little bit of discomfort:)

Really really decadent, sexy chocolate.
Somehow I can't picture you not being flamboyant enough... :-)
Hey Maples - Well it was the wrong kind of flamboyant. I wasn't exactly playing on his team. I think he wanted more "in common" with me.
