the write to be wrong

i hate to call myself a gourmet because there seems to be an underlying, smug connotation about it. but i love food. so i prefer calling myself a foodie.

right now im on a quest to better myself on the topic of chocolate.

unlike most girls, i dont have a thing about chocolate. i dont crave for it. actually i much prefer coffee than cocoa. but that's what i like to believe anyway.

got a head start with my pastry chef friend. and i am determined to train my taste buds on the differences between choc. esp couverture and compound, which shouldnt be too hard. i do want to know what im eating when im being served, say a truffle supposedly made of good quality belgian.

i bought some couverture choc today. callebaut dark choc buttons. just getting to know it, really.
one kilo of it, in fact.

might make choc mousse sometime this week.

lucky me.
