What's Valentine's Day?

 

[texaschickmama]

I let him take me to a Miranda Lambert concert. Then, I'll let him buy me some more chickens!!!

My wife is giving me enough money to put a roof on the chicken run, and a card of course. I went all out and got her a diamond neckless, she's been feeling a bit neglected lately. I think she's feeling second fidle to the chickens.

I think this might cheer her up a little.

That's the whole thing, giving up extra insulation. And that is a BIG maybe.

If you want to have chocolate that is actually healthy, here is a recipe for you.
It is true old fashioned chocolate pudding.
Granted, you may not have access to raw cream, but do try and make sure all the rest of the ingredients are correct.
You can sub in raw honey for the raw sugar if you like. That is the only way I will make it. Turns out just the same.
You do not have to be afraid of the fat content of this recipe either, as real fats do not cause weight gain.
Its refined carbs and sugars that are the culprit.
This recipe is all about real food.

Pots De Creme
Ingredients:
1/2 cup (4 ounces) organic grass-fed cream
1/3 cup organic grass-fed whole milk
1 1/2 ounces rapadura or sucanat (Rapnunzel or other brands; available at health food stores and some restaurant supply stores)
1/3 tsp organic vanilla extract
2 1/2 ounces good quality bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped (I used Callebaut — it’s very good chocolate and tastes wonderful, but unfortunately it does contain refined sugar and soy lecithin; a better choice would be Rapunzel brand bittersweet or semisweet chocolate)
2 large pastured egg yolks

1. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees.

2. Measure your ingredients and set them out mise en place.

3. In a medium saucepan on medium heat, combine the cream, milk, rapadura or sucanat, and vanilla extract. Stir and bring to a boil.

4. Add the chocolate and whisk until melted. Remove from heat.

5. In a bowl, beat the egg yolks.

6. Slowly whisk in the beaten egg yolks to the chocolate mixture in a slow, steady stream (like making mayonnaise).

7. Pour the mixture into two ramekins or espresso cups.

8. Set the cups in a high-sided baking dish and fill the baking dish with cold water about halfway up the sides of the cups.

9. Cover tightly with foil and bake for an hour and 15 minutes to an hour and 30 minutes (the Balthazar recipe says one hour and 15 minutes but mine took longer).

10. Using a pot holder, remove from the bath. Let cool slightly on the counter, then transfer to the fridge and serve chilled. If you are short on time, you can slip the cups into the freezer. Freeze for only 20 minutes — then transfer to fridge or serve.

I love this served with a bit of raw cream and sliced strawberries over the top.
Enjoy with your favorite cup of coffee.
