Thank you, I Will Not Have Any Chocolate Wine. Well, Maybe Just a Little.

— Bring wine to boil. Set it alight and allow flame to burn off. Boil until liquid becomes syrupy and reduces to 150ml

— Grate or finely chop chocolate and put to one side. In a separate pan, bring milk slowly to the boil, pour it over the chocolate and stir

— Add reduced wine to the chocolate milk, heat and froth using a whisk or hand blender. Serve immediately

I like wine. I like chocolate.
I like beer. I like olive oil.
I like gin. I like noodles.
I like whisky. I like gorgonzola.

Do I want them together? Uh, nope. Will I make chocolate wine this weekend. Uh, yep.
Some hot stuff chef - known for his bacon and egg ice cream, decided he needed some validation that he was still hot stuff. So he wrote down the recipe on the back of a tab from his restaurant and gave it to Traveller magazine.

They took his idea and then reader’s voted.
Yeth Thir! He won by votes from people who had never tasted it.
That’s the way to win an award.
It’s not even his recipe. It dates back to 1710. So not only did he win by a bogus popularity contest. He submitted somebody else’s recipe.
Have I told you about my recipe for candy coated milk chocolate? Or my recipe for adding lime to beer? How about my condiments and ground up cow with processed bacterial cultured food slices?

@ I’d like to try Bacon and Egg Ice Cream - if the Egg was like custard or home made ice cream, and the bacon was chunks, it may not be too yucky.

That does sound disgusting. Ben sometimes likes to nibble dark chocolate with port or a fruit-bomb sort of red (like an intense Zin) but I think he would find this disgusting, as well.

On the other hand, he puts Hershey’s Syrup on his shredded wheat at breakfast. He also makes a breakfast concoction of orange juice, yogurt and shredded wheat all mixed together, which looks exactly like a bowl of vomit. So, you know, he just might go for it.

@Gretchen: Nibble Chocolate? LOL. He nibbles chocolate? Gay.
Except putting Hershey’s on shredded wheat is awesome. And the vomit breakfast? ewwwwwwwww.

Dude, I constantly tell him he’s gay. He does a spot-on Paul Lynde impersonation and the first time Erika heard it she demanded, “WHY is he so good at that?” He also likes Rock Hudson/Doris Day movies. And the Wizard of Oz. No Streisand, thank God.

Gretchen: We had a neighbor that was Mr. Macho Hunter/Fisherman that could swish with the best of them. It is an art.

Hmmm… that last one sounds like a cheezburger. Medium, please…

Ever try a Roquefort milkshake or barbecued oatmeal?

@Winston: four of the seven food groups in one hand - the cheeseburger deluxe. And your suggestions are perfectly gross.

I love chocolate but don’t like wine and since my daddy once put chocolate on rice for me and I hated it I don’t think I’ll be trying this.

I’ll eat your candy coated chocolate though.

@Lisa’s Chaos: was the rice raw or cooked? You can test some of my candy coated chocolate as soon as I get it perfected.
