Mmm ... chocolate

So I'm signed up for Wild Oats Wild Mail, a regular e-mail with sometimes useful tips in it. Of course, on Valentine's Day, so it's all about chocolate. Lots of tasty recipes to try - once I get out of the office, and if I actually have power tonight. (Mine was out from 6 p.m. to midnight Tuesday).

Mmmm... Mexican chocolate souffle. I can't say that I've ever made a souffle - enjoyed them in restaurants! - but now might be the time to start.

And chocolate mousse. I have made a version of this before, and wow, it's melt-in-your-mouth good! When visiting Manila once in high school, I was having a Western desserts craving. We went to the lobby of the Manila Hotel, and I decided I HAD to try the chocolate mousse. When I ordered it, the waitress corrected me. "It's chocolate mouse, ma'am!" I said Fine, bring me the chocolate MOUSE! (I don't remember how it tasted, but that, I think, was the last time I needed chocolate in 90-degree Manila!)

Mini molten mocha chocolate cakes... (do you sense a theme here?)

Fudge and cacao brownies.

Just wow. I'm not even sure where to begin. But Happy Valentine's Day!!!
