My brother, Chief Bob Harkins, retired Navy, sounded in a panic when he called. "Where are the left over chocolate recipes? There are none on your blog!" he accused.I paused a moment, thinking it might be an odd question coming from someone else, but not Bobby. Why? Because he is extremely intelligent and thinks heavy-duty thoughts. This trait runs in the family.
Ever calm, I replied, "There are no leftover chocolate recipes because there is never any leftover chocolate."
Weighing the depth of my statement, he hung up, realizing my logic.
Case in point: Examine the photo above. Can you identify the chocolate remains on the plate? Yes, it is cocoa. Why not candy bar crumbs or Easter bunny trimmings? I will tell you why. My less-than-sainted husband, Bruce, found and ate the one last candy bar I had tucked away for purposes of leaving a mini-scrap of chocolate for this particular blog photo. With no other chocolate in the house, I was reduced to sprinkle cocoa powder on the plate for the visual effect of there never being any leftover chocolate. I hope you can forgive him.
