A warm hello to the readers of this blog (do you exist?). After bouncing around the blogging world for about 6 months, I thought it was time to gather all my content and deposit it in one place... the product of which is The Chocolate Fig. This name, in my opinion, is perfect for several reasons. First: I LOVE figs. Second: I LOVE chocolate. Now, please don't let the word 'chocolate' deceive you. I'm not talking about the light brown, sugary, plastic-like MILK chocolate we tend to reach for when we're about to make s'mores. I'm not even talking about the semisweet chips we usually find in baked goods. When I say I love chocolate, I'm referring to the GOOD STUFF. The high-quality, rich, almost-bitter deep brown velvet that only occurs when the label reads anything over 75% (I usually don't even dip that low). I like the strong stuff. The real stuff. No.Exceptions. So now that we've cleared that up, more about the name of this blog. Chocolate and figs pretty much embody my cooking and eating philosophy. Figs represent the healthy, the naturally sweet, the seasonal, the home-grown. Chocolate represents the savory, the indulgence, the special occasion, the somewhat naughty. I've found that incorporating both of them into my life (in the right proportions, of course) leaves me balanced, happy, and satisfied.
I'm excited to share my culinary adventures with you (assuming, once again, there exists a 'you'). As I explore life through my twenty-year-old eyes and body, I know there will be challenges and there will be triumphs. There will be good days and bad days, days I don't feel like blogging, days I have to stop myself from writing 10 posts. I welcome your comments, your criticisms, your advice and especially your own stories. Life is all about good times, good health, and good relationships, so let's build some.
Bear with me as I sloooowly compile everything culinary I have scattered around the internet and my computer. In good time, I'll have content to share with you.
Enjoy,
Sarah
