Today was Day #3 of Chocolate and Rum/Spirits Theme Week. I had to try three times to get this right. That meant getting the rum and the chocolate together in one sitting.
Attempt #1: A bite of chocolate from an Amedei dark chocolate 70% single origin bar from Grenada with rich, almost raisin-like notes; but I forgot the rum.
Attempt: #2: A tasty piece of chocolate cake after lunch at the Valona Cafe Market Delicatessen. Very good, but again there was no easy way to combine this dessert with rum since I was not home, or in a bar. (Although the Valona Cafe Market Deli did serve wine and beer and has live jazz some nights.)
And, finally, attempt #3: a small slice of Baskin Robbins ice cream cake with a splash of Mount Gay rum at my parents house. Good thing I walked almost 4 miles today in the hills.
