All-purpose flour – this is what I use for all of my recipes but cake flour will work as well.

Chocolate Torte
We are obsessed with this classic chocolate torte that manages to be both elegant and rustic at the same time. Maybe it’s the dense, almost fudgy interior or the crackly, delicate top that is dusted with cocoa powder, but there is just something about this dessert that defies all my ability to resist temptation.

In the midst of holiday gift giving, should we think about giving experiences rather than gifts? I can’t help but think about the fact that often these well-intentioned gifts eventually lead to more stress, for the giver and the receiver. So much so that over time my husband and I decided to give experiences instead of material gifts as much as we can. After a few years of trial and error, this is now pretty much the norm in our family … and the results are amazing!
Even last minute, an experience gift can be easy to arrange, thoughtful, and rewarding to both giver and receiver...
So I don’t know about you, but I’m not a fan of self-checkouts. Don’t you prefer the human touch? I do. Do you enjoy laboriously placing items on a machine, or kiosk, and following directions from a disembodied voice on how to make a simple transaction? I don’t.
In September, I was forced to think about such matters when two automatic checkout machines were installed in my local CVS store in New Jersey. They appeared one day, replacing two cashier positions out of four. As I stood in line waiting for a human being while glaring at the machines, a cashier I was friendly with beckoned me over to one of the kiosks, where she was assisting people trying to use them. “No way,” I said. “I’m not going to use those things.”
