What are your deal breakers in a relationship?

- bad breath
- body odour
- lying
- bad table manners
- no knowledge of etiquette
- lack of personal ambition
- submissiveness

This package of mushroom tagliatelle comes from a pasta house called Morelli, you can visit their website here (the variations of pasta they create, including cocoa infused, are mindboggling!).

I used it in a recipe for Pasta with Basil, Tomato and Lemon Zest. It was very woodsy and nutty in flavour with a firm texture. The mushroom flavour was quite intense and I felt it was a shame to throw out the pasta water as a result. Next time that I have a pasta like this on hand I will find a use for that water :) 

Do you buy products made locally?  Is there anything made in your area that you love?

Trinidad Chocolate is some of the best in the world :) Here is an excerpt of an entry that I made on TriniGourmet.com :)

I don't know why I don't use my local chocolate more. It's cheaper and repeated accounts state that it is among the best (if not the best) cocoa in the world. It is also infinitely cheaper than the imported brands that line the shelves. Maybe it is because it seems so special and smells so heavenly and decadent that I feel I should squirrel it away? After the results of this recipe though I realize that there is no reason to let this extremely affordable gem go to waste away anymore! :)

So what did I make with this chocolate? Click here to find out :D
