Fantastic recipe with really wonderful step-by-step instructions. You knew that, though:) As to the vanilla v. chocolate debate, I am torn. I love chocolate--rich and dark, it can't hide. Vanilla is glorious on its own, in all its mellow, fragrant complexity, but it plays a supporting role with grace and elegance as well. I always add a bit of vanilla to anything chocolate, and vanilla is gracious enough to allow chocolate to shine. It's not a two-way street, though--chocolate can't hide! Love your style; glad to have found you!
