My husband and I were visiting some friends. We didn’t see them often because they lived 1000 miles away, but I had been at their lovely house before and I knew that she was a GREAT cook. It was right near Valentine’s Day and she invited several other people over for a fancy dinner party. She cooked a 5 course meal and every course had chocolate in it. Some of the pairing were… different, but they were mostly good and edible - as I said, she was a great cook. But then she brought out the scallops with a drizzle of chocolate sauce on them. Oh, it was just as BAD as you can imagine! I ate most of my scallop, but I’ll never forget it. Chocolate is fine but there are some things that just DON’T GO with it!

Desert, however, was fabulous!
