"Make anything with love, and BAM! It's a beautiful meal." __Emeril Lagasse "Who could ever weary of moonlit nights and well-cooked rice?" __Japanese proverb "What I love about cooking is that after a hard day, there is something comforting about the fact that if you melt butter and add flour, then hot stock, it will get thick! It's a sure thing. It's a sure thing in a world where nothing is sure!" __Nora Ephron "A good cook is like a sorceress who dispenses happiness." __Elsa Schiaparelli "Noncooks think it's silly to invest two hours' work in two minutes' enjoyment; but if cooking is evanescent, so is the ballet. " __Julia Child "Cooking is a creation." __Piero Selvaggio "'Tis an ill cook that cannot lick his own fingers." __William Shakespeare ______________________________________Chocolate Chubbies Ingredients: 8 oz semisweet chocolate [8 squares] 3 oz unsweetened chocolate [3 squares] 1/2 cup unsalted butter 3 large eggs, at room temperature 1 and 1/4 cups white sugar 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 2/3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon bakin' powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 and 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips 1 and 1/2 cups walnuts, chopped 1 and 1/2 cups pecans, chopped Instructions: 1) Preheat oven to 325�F and grease 3 cookie sheets. 2) Melt the chocolate with the butter in a double boiler over simmerin' water.
