chocolate in taos, philly

as a former resident of taos, i was thrilled to hear about a new chocolate shop there, xocoatl. and what's even better, they're using my fave chocolate, el rey.

and we should also note a relatively new artisan chocolatier in philadelphia, jubilee, which prides itself on using all local ingredients. their information on child slavery in the chocolate trade will be old hat to you long-time readers.

and finally, a really nice article about one of my nabe's treasures, brooklyn's own grimaldi's pizza. i'm still stunned by how many residents of the gap- and pottery barn-choked mall-hattan refuse to cross the bridge to experience what is supposed to be the inherent right of every new yorker: real pizza.

and while few of us have a coal or wood-fired oven at home, home-made pizza can be surprisingly close to grimaldi's heavenly pie. . .
