The ground chocolate is SWEETENED. Kind of like something you would use to make hot chocolate. Something like Nestle's Qwik. If you use unsweetened cocoa powder, add more powdered sugar to taste.2Americanshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09680300735366986138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31035414.post-80389025768735702032007-07-24T10:58:00.000+02:002007-07-24T10:58:00.000+02:00I thought it might just be easier to include a link to the place you've got yours posted.

I reckon it's not so attractive any more though.. Get a new one and think of us when you have it, alright? It's good that you have them there, too. I wondered why I hadn't ever seen them in the SPFM -- I thought perhaps the MN season was too short, but then again, if the season is long enough to grow a tomato, broccoli should be a cinch, right? Maybe they took a while to catch on.<BR/><BR/>I hear you're in for another dose of snow (CNN is on in the oher room as I type this). We've been a bit spoiled by the mild weather; I picked some baby carrots and radichio (I have no idea how to spell that) in our garden just last week. The ramps have come and gone already, and unless we move quickly, the wild asparagus will also have finished! We're not quite in full spring veggie mode yet (no local young peas or berries yet or anything like that), but lettuces abound. The berries will come in early May -- I've found lots of pick-your-own places to check out. maybe we can get some while B. is here.2Americanshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09680300735366986138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31035414.post-15299439495912865212007-04-02T18:25:00.000+02:002007-04-02T18:25:00.000+02:00Hey, you guys, I've found this beautiful cauliflower/broccoli cross at the St. Paul Farmers' Market, so your markets aren't so special ;-) In fact, I bought a small head at the Mississippi Market Coop a couple of weeks ago (unfortunately, it promptly became buried in the veggie drawer, so it may end up filling the garbage can rather than our tummies). As I recall, there were 3 unusual varieties available that day, including a Cheddar Cheese-colored cauliflower (typical shape, different color) and another "odd" variety, but I can't remember right now how it was different. <BR/><BR/>Speaking of Farmers Markets -- we have about 4 more weeks of the Winter Market (Saturdays from 9-12) before we transition to the spring/summer market. One entrepreneurial grower is already selling hydroponic tomatoes, English cucumbers, and small peppers, but otherwise it's the usual winter stuff (meat and poultry, bread, honey, cheese, eggs, etc.). Can't wait for the first local produce (grown in dirt, that is!). <BR/><BR/>Keep up the great blog!

Apparently these grow much more quickly than the other stalactites (relatively speaking -- none of us will be around to see them when they have grown significantly) but would be very cool to see them when they are all just a few inches over your head; it would be like looking up into a giant pin-cushion!2Americanshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09680300735366986138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31035414.post-1155566340401671582006-08-14T16:39:00.000+02:002006-08-14T16:39:00.000+02:00You're quite the travel writer!
