Mousseline au chocolat

This is a wonderful recipe for chocolate mousse. It uses both the egg yolks and egg whites, so there are no wasted ingredients. The measurements are in English/American units, so I apologize to the international readers. The recipe comes from Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking. Délicieux!

Swiss Chard with Raisins and Pine Nuts

We've just started our second year with a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) program and it's time for swiss chard!



It's very pretty and this recipe, adapted from Gourmet Magazine and provided by our farm, maintains its brightness while adding much-needed texture and sweetness to its strong, somewhat bitter nature. It also only takes about 15 minutes, including prep, to give this old-fashioned green a modern twist.
