Hi, everyone! Happy September. Believe it or not I’m out of town again! Out of the country again, in fact, this time visiting my father’s birth country of Lebanon. I have no plans to be away for the rest of the year, so I will finally be able to chat with you all again next month.
Today we wrap up our formal meal with everyone’s favorite: Dessert. Important for our elegant lovers not to be too stuffed before they, ahem, retire, so I passed on the heavy cakes and pies in favor of cream puffs filled with chocolate cognac cream and sauced (this cracks me up as a verb) with raspberries. I adore pretty much anything with raspberries, cream and chocolate, and this dessert is a winner. Serve with coffee or snifters of cognac. Or both. Mmmm. Then imagine our lovers wafting sensually up to the bedroom . . . Of course in my world they’d spend an hour going over every detail of the meal first. Food and sex, both passionate pursuits.
Here is the recipe, once again c/o that most venerable of foodie websites, epicurious.com:
Chocolate-Cognac Profiteroles with Raspberry Sauce
Next month we’ll start another, more casual meal. Maybe something to celebrate the oncoming chilly fall weather (in case you live somewhere there is some). In the meantime, keep warm reading Blaze and I will “see” you in October!

Hi Isabel, I really love these blog posts…the dessert sounds delicious, and as a Blaze reader, my mind took the walk upstairs a lot farther too…lol…Thanks for these…more recipes to collect. Sometimes, you make me want to start cooking “for real” again with them. We are having that fall weather here. Have a wonderful day!
Peace and love,

Well that sounds delicious. Now I am forced to go eat something sweet. Strawberries are my weakness. Strawberries are good with anything. Especially cheesecake.

Ooooh, now that is just so delicious looking. And like Paula says, its getting to be that ‘real’ cooking time of year again (yes, I cook in seasons LOL) I’m going to have to try these for a nice dinner party. Or, you know, for a nice writing session *g*
Wow, that looks so good!
