In 2006, my daughter bet I couldn't eat a different chocolate each day for a year. I enjoyed that year so much that, after 18+ years, I'm still eating a different chocolate every day. Happily, even after 6,600+ chocolates, there are still many more to try. Thank you to all who continue to be part of this global adventure.

ChocolateBet: February 8, 2009
Chocolate of the Day:
1 teaspoon
McCormick (Gourmet Collection - Blends)
Cocoa Chile Blend
(used on/with some roasted eggplant and tomato)
Very Good
Wt.: ~ .3 oz. (8.5 g.)/2 oz. (56 grams) in total jar
Calories: ~ 30 calories (estimate) in 1 teaspoon (~335 cals. in eggplant dish)
Cost: $4.99 for entire 2 oz. jar
Purchased from: Safeway, in Palo Alto, CA
Today is day #3 of chocolate & vegetable week on the blog.
For dinner I made some roasted eggplant and one tomato (one each) with a dash of lemon juice - and about a teaspoon of this cocoa chile seasoning. (My apologies for the low-res scanned image of the jar (above right).) This spice blend is a mix of cocoa powder, chipotle pepper, sugar, and paprika. It was quite tasty.
