I'll use it in a recipe or making salad dressing but right out to eat with the spoon would be a no way. I bought the dark honey at Heather Farm Maker Faire. I was stunned at tasting how good it tasted alone. The huge bonus is I have severe seasonal allergies. I've tried many local honey's before. This one works at the get go. I was having a sneezing attack from being outside. I didn't take the honey yet, but when I did my sneezing and runny nose stopped - dead on the spot! That's a wow. And the little dry jar of bee pollen I put in my hot drinks works too. They have other flavors/types too which now I'd really like to try. The trick now is to keep being able to find them to keep it in stock!

I used to feel like their selection at the Ferry Building Farmer's Market was small and the prices were pretty high, but then I investigated more about the company. It turns out the peppers are started in Florida and shipped to California, then planted in the greenhouse once the threat of freezing passes. No wonder they're expensive! The whole operation is time consuming and yields a relatively small amount of product. What I'm basically here to talk about are the Padrons... tiny green peppers that are apparently popular Spanish tapas. I first became familiar with them through Japanese cuisine; if they are not the same thing as Shishito peppers, they are very similar. The whole idea behind them is that you sear and blister them in a pan on high heat. The peppers cook super fast, range from mild to hot, and taste INcredible! At $6 for a small bag, I don't get them every weekend. But I would if I could. It's the quickest, most delicious snack and it tastes like it should be bad for you... but it's only peppers. Sprinkle a little fleur de sel on top and HAIO! Instant success.

For a guy that takes an inordinate amount of photos, I am surprisingly unobservant. This place is…read morejust three doors down from the Posh Bagel on Main St. How is it I just noticed this fantastic store? I mean, stores that sell candy and chocolate are my jam. But it was invisible to me. Until today, anyway. I am so happy I finally found it. Because Gourmet Works is much more than a store that sells candy and chocolate. In fact, as the name would suggest, it's more of a Gourmet food store and Gift Shop than a Chocolate Shop. But it's also a hella cool chocolate shop and that's the main reason I will be sure to return. Right when you walk in the door you are surrounded by an astonishingly large variety of items that would make the perfect gift for a loved one, or for yourself. Because, I ain't gonna lie, there were at least a dozen items that I considered buying for myself. I thought to myself, you know, I do so much for me, and it seems I rarely properly thank myself for my devoted patronage and self care. If you are interested in high quality gourmet gifts, Gourmet Works is definitely the place to go! They carry so many products you would be hard pressed to find elsewhere. Gourmet Salts, Dried Herbs, Pasta Sauces, Dried Pasta, Curry Sauces, Masala Simmer Sauce, Special Preserves and Jams. An impressive, well-curated selection. Then, at the back of the store you find the kind of Chocolate display case that dreams are made of. Oh my Lord! Just the Truffle side alone would be enough to melt anyone's heart. But the other side, with the astonishing variety of hand dipped chocolates is where I lost it. I saw the Almond Bark and stopped dead in my tracks. I stared at that Almond Bark. The Almond Bark stared back at me. We were locked into that stare down for what seemed like an eternity. I was sure neither of us would ever give in. But then I blinked. Somehow I became aware that the wonderful woman behind the counter was asking me if she could help me. As I regained my senses, suddenly I felt so embarrassed. How long had I been staring at that Almond Bark? How many times had she tried to get my attention? I had no idea. I tried to play it off like there was nothing going on between me and that Almond Bark. I casually inquired about some Chocolate Covered Caramels with Sea Salt on a totally different shelf in the display case. Then, of course, I had to buy a couple of those Chocolate Covered Carmels with Sea Salt, to cover up the whole situation with me and the Almond Bark. I purchased a couple ordinary, un-chocolate covered Caramels with Sea Salt too. The woman behind the counter couldn't have been more gracious. She didn't let on that she knew exactly what was happening and I wasn't fooling anyone with the whole Chocolate Covered Caramels with Sea Salt charade. So, my thanks to Gourmet Works, and the gracious woman behind the counter, Padmaja (her family owns Gourmet Works). It was such a pleasure to shop at your wonderful store!
