Looks Delicious

I'm really enjoying Joe Seppi's Victory Garden of Tomorrow Posters.  Colorful and retro, Seppi describes the work as, "a self-commissioned poster campaign designed to channel the bold energy of historical poster propaganda. It is committed to civic innovation and social progress-- better food, better gardens, better cities. It is artful advocacy for the modern homefront."

This poster was inspired by the one below - a vintage cook book cover.  Love the way he modernized it and made it relevant today.

On his Etsy shop description for this poster he writes, "As a note, because people have asked, I intended the white items hanging on the line to be reusable diapers. oh well."

This is just classic.

Hot Stuff

I spread some hot love this Valentine's Day with my Salted Cayenne-Laced Dark Chocolate Chips. I've had the plain chocolate version once before and I was recently reminded by a food show on TV.  But I wanted to "spice" them up a bit for cupid, so here's what I did.  Super easy, but impressive.

12 oz. Dark Chocolate Chips 

1 tsp. cayenne pepper

1 bag of ruffles of kettle chips

coarse kosher salt

Melt chocolate in a double boiler.  Add cayenne pepper.  Dip half of chips in chocolate and let set on parchment lined baking sheet.  While still shiny sprinkle with cayenne pepper and salt.  

Voila!
