Dark Chocolate Goji Berries & Avocado Oil Chips

Dark Chocolate Covered Goji Berries

With a hard texture that is tougher to chew than your standard raisinette or chocolate covered blueberry, we can’t say they’re our favorite chocolate covered berry. But, they are interesting. Some of the goji berries are crunchy… others are chewy. It’s a bit disconcerting. They […]

Pistachio Croissant & Plum Galette

Pistachio Croissant

Yes, it’s as good as it looks. Honestly, it’s probably even better. Perfectly crisp golden brown layers crackle delicately under your bite. The interior layers are soft, tender, and buttery with a fresh ground pistachio center as an added bonus. Yum.

Mast Brothers Chocolate @ Star Provisions

Mast Brothers Dark Chocolate with Cocoa Nibs

There were some serious imperfections with our bar.

Either it was tempered improperly or it experienced some form of mishandling in distribution. This bar was badly discolored with crystallization and tasted more than a little bit stale. It […]

The Lobster Roll @ JCT

Simply Delicious… The Lobster Roll

One whole lobster (shelled, obviously) is tossed in a simple dressing and heaped into one little toasty Holeman & Finch bun. The lobster was so tender it was a pleasure to eat. Apple slaw on the side was a lovely balance of crisp […]

Mulberry Preserves

White Mulberry Preserves

We found Gobal Food & Nuts a few weeks ago. And, we were happy to find a source for green almonds, high quality nuts, and preserves. Finally, we’ve had a chance to open a jar of their white mulberry preserves. And, it is unbelievably good… ok, it’s […]

Sushi Yoko

Hotate, Ikura, Uni & Unagi

Sushi Yoko is an old standby that we’ve been visiting for too many years to count. The presentation is simple. But, the fish is always fresh.

Bread @ White Windmill Bakery

Buckhead Bread Company and Alon’s are our go-to spots for bread. But, we were happily surprised by this French style loaf from White Windmill Bakery. The crust was still crisp when we arrived home. But, by dinner time it lost its crunch. Luckily, we were using this loaf as the […]

Hoa Binh Market

Nón lá (Leaf Hat)

These hats are genius. We bought one. Within minutes, we were fighting over it. It’s light, practical and highly effective. For $3.99, it’s a bargain. And, we’ll be back for another one… soon.

Cassava Chips

While the actual chips are much […]

Mofongo Perfection… again

Mofongo with Spicy Shrimp

As you can see, the plantains are cooked to perfection. And, that’s no exaggeration. (My pictures were better last time.) The blend of crispy bits, caramelization, and creamy mashed plantain work in delicious harmony. The crispy crumbs of deep fried pork in the center are an […]

Super Mercado #5

Figs Stuffed with Caramel

Don’t feel guilty. There’s a fig wrapped around your caramel. I love these individually wrapped candies. One makes a perfect little treat.

Walnut!

Creamy walnut pops… genius! Love them!

Juice of the Cashew Fruit
