🥰 Sweet dreams
Baltimore🌗.
I will wish upon a ⭐️ for less bitterness, more compassionate expression and a more just world 💓

Take a bite out of life....or 3,4,5,6,7. 🤣 love

Take a bite out of life....or 3,4,5,6,7. 🤣 love that @chefinitup salt🥳🥳

Saturday and thinking about food🥰. What do we have that works well together? 🤔Typical of me. My mind wanders to the word “pairs.” 🧂🍫
The most obvious pairing… it’s chilly.. some red wine 🍷and @foraged.eatery bean-to-bar dark chocolate with @nelanature panela and @chefinitup hand 👏foraged sea salt. Why? Together, the salt helps tease👻 out unique flavor attributes.
As a chemistry teacher would share🧪, salt (NaCl) is used as a universal flavor improver. At low concentrations it will reduce bitterness🧟, but increase sweet🧚, sour and umami (savory), which is desirable for sweet recipes👩🏻‍🍳. At higher concentrations it suppresses 😾 sweetness and enhances umami, which is good for savoury 🤩things.
Salt is easily obtained in a pure form without any interfering 🤫 with other flavors.

Successful pairings are complex. 🤪

The whole concept of pairs and pairings is interesting to me. It is linked to diversity and inclusion💪💓. To values. 🥰To individual passions 💃and purposes. 😇 It requires observation🧐, authentic curiosity🤓, time to ponder and experiment, grit and commitment🙃. Great pairs can connect what appears to be“unconnectable.”Great pairs are independent AND commit to empowering partner growth. #empowerothers

💓In the mood for a little honey with your honey

💓In the mood for a little honey with your honey? 🥰 well...light your fire 💃and get these mallows in the house. all goodness inside. Maple syrup, honey and coated with cacao nibs. A fun time will be had by all 💋

Hey there 🥳 remember those Tanzanian cacao nibs

Hey there 🥳 remember those Tanzanian cacao nibs that we roasted yesterday??? Well....🧐 not all the nibs went on top of my yogurt😂

Today, 7lbs of those nibs ( aka cracked pieces of our cacao beans, which were ethically & directly sourced, magnificently fermented and dried by @kokoakamili in Tanzania) are not social distancing😱.
They are slowly getting acquainted 🥰 in a melanger (that’s our special machine. It has granite stone rollers and a granite base).

Imagine this🙄 the stones are rolling and rolling for 48 hrs. The friction from the granite wheels transforms the solid cacao nibs into a liquid. Yup!!!

It’s a chemistry class🤩 in action. It’s magic 💃

In the US, we call this liquid, cocoa or chocolate liquor. 🤣There’s no alcohol in it. 🙃 How silly🤫

Ok... so... how do these cacao nibs transform from a solid to a liquid?? 🤔 Then they become solid again 👻 and start forming the AMAZING @foraged.eatery 70% cocoa bar. 😻
Hmmm. This is getting very interesting😬Stay tuned for more🤠. This story is going to get salty💋 Right? @chefinitup 🌊💥
