just when you think you're all alone in the world. . .

you read an article about fellow chocolate fanatics, people like our comrade-in-baking, spencer nelson.

and who wouldn't want to make their own dulche de leche? couldn't you use it instead of cream in your ganache? the second you ask yourself that question, you know you belong right here. so pull up a whisk, spencer. we grok.

and that goes double for those of us who immediately knew what the famous chocolate phantasmagoria was. . . readers, haven't you made one yourself? i last made one oh, in the mid-90s(?), when marcel's first show was still on tv, with callebaut. i should take another look at my beat-up old copy of death by chocolate. . .

i've eaten at his trellis; but not all of his recipes float my boat. like the peanut-grape-corn flake cake. . .
