Bite me, but not too gently

Armed with a carton of goat's milk, some discs of Taza chocolate left over from the Halloween party, and the fact that Dave's Fresh Pasta sells Fat Toad Farm goat's milk caramel, I have made myself goat's milk salt caramel hot chocolate.

Dinner was an experiment from Amsterdam Falafelshop on Elm Street. I'd bought salad items from them, but never actually their falafel. It's delicious. Crunchy on the outside without being tooth-breaking, fragrant chickpea goodness inside. I got three in a bowl (I wasn't sure how a pita pocket would travel) and piled baba ghanoush, hummus, pickled turnips, and garlic-fried eggplant around them; the cost came to less than most sandwiches and it was an entire dinner as far as I'm concerned. Their garlic cream sauce is indispensable. I forgot to try the tahini. Next time. There'll be a next time. Possibly very soon.

I am going to drink my hot chocolate and rewatch Stephen Frears' The Hit (1984), which has John Hurt being morally ambiguous. Of such things are evenings made.

I think the goat's milk caramel I had was a different one, but it was so spectacular that I'm almost afraid to ever have it again because I could not stop eating the damn things and I should get my nutrients from something other than caramel. :-)

Have a lovely evening!

I didn't realize you could buy a bowl instead of a pita pocket from them. Something to try next visit.

That dinner sounds excellent, as does the hot chocolate. I love The Hit.

The falafel sounds very delicious. I hope the hot chocolate was equally satisfying. (And the film as well, but I suspect you'd not have been rewatching it if that weren't a very likely thing.)

<3 <3 <3 Amsterdam Falafel. The garlic cream sauce is also very tasty on their French fries, which are of a superior texture (and stay crispy even when they get cold) but understandably tend to taste somewhat of falafel. Since I like their falafel, I'm prepared to regard that as a feature rather than a bug, but it was kind of a surprise the first time I ate there.
