In the sixth episode of "Top Chef: Just Desserts" the nine chefs became eight and unfortunately it was one of my favorites chefs that got sent home this time but you'll have to keep reading to find out who. Remember, leave your own thoughts and ideas in the comments, please.
Last night's Quickfire Challenge and the Elimination Challenge were a bit mismatched. True, both used non-traditional

Chocolate Holidays, October 2011
Obviously if you live in much of the English speaking world, Halloween is probably what comes to your mind in terms of candy of any sort. It is a HUGE candy holiday but in general we think of cheaper, mass made candy. Part of my hope for this month as in the two previous Annual Halloween Treat Challenges we host here on The Chocolate Cult, is to show that there are a lot of options out there

Book Review: Chocolate Therapy
The first week in October is "National Mental Health Illness Week" and while that might not seem to have much to do with Chocolate, let's be blunt, Sisters and Brothers, a lot of us turn to food, especially chocolate, alcohol or other drugs, to help us with emotional or mental health issues. I did this with Chocolate in my own life and I still struggle not to do it myself. That's one of

National Chocolate Milk Day Again?!
Didn't we all ready celebrate "National Chocolate Milk Day" back on July 28th? What's the deal with this day today, almost two months later?
This isn't the only fun food holiday that is repeated in a year but it sure would be nice if I could find some reliable evidence about when and how these days got started and why we need two of them.

Today, Sunday the 25th of September, is actually my birthday but I will be unable to really celebrate because I'm still on the mostly BRAT diet. Trust me, you do not want me to explain what this is.

Spice Rack Collection Revealed
Two years ago, back when we were all very, very young here in The Chocolate Cult, one of our readers and a friend of mine brought me a small collection of tea infused dark chocolates. After doing a regular review of these with only a few senses discussed and over all feelings, I let the company she bought these from know about us. Many months later the people from Spice Rack Chocolates sent us

National White Chocolate Day 2011
Regular readers should know by now that your Chocolate Priestess is not a huge fan of white chocolate. Unlike other "chocolate connoisseurs" however I do not declare that there is no such thing as white chocolate but I do limit it to only that white substance that is made from 100% cocoa butter with no added oils or fats along with milk and sugar generally. Be wary because much of what you may
