David and I were around at the supermarket buying some odds and ends when we saw a display for a new Nestle chocolate.
NESTLÉ NOIR’s Créateurs de Chocolat in Switzerland have crafted a new shape that is uniquely designed to heighten your pleasure....From its sensual curved shape to its ridges...Your palate isn’t flat, so why should your chocolate be?It then went on to talk about creaminess and mouths and but by then I was blushing and averting my eyes...
We made soup out of some of the bushels of yellow tomatoes that suddenly all became ripe (and I made raspberry jam, ditto).
Interesting recipe; very thin and smoky and hot:
http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Yellow-Tomato-Soup-104932 * 1 large onion, chopped (about 2 1/2 cups)
* 6 bacon slices (about 5 ounces), chopped
* 5 cups chopped yellow tomatoes (about 2 pounds)
* 2 garlic cloves, minced
* 1/2 cup dry Sherry
* 1/2 cup dry white wine
* 4 cups chicken stock or canned low-salt chicken broth
* 2 teaspoons minced canned chipotle chilies*
* 1 tablespoon fresh chopped oregano leaves
* 1/2 cup whipping cream or sour cream
Preparation
Sauté onion and bacon in heavy large pot over medium heat until onion is tender and beginning to brown, about 15 minutes. Add tomatoes and garlic and simmer until tomatoes are tender and juicy, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes. Add Sherry and wine; simmer 5 minutes. Add stock and simmer until mixture is reduced to 6 1/2 cups, about 15 minutes. Stir in chipotle chilies and oregano. Working in batches, puree soup in blender. Return to pot. Add cream and stir until heated through. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.
*Chipotle chilies canned in a spicy tomato sauce, sometimes called adobo, are available at Latin American markets, specialty foods stores and some supermarkets.
