a wolf angel is not a good angel

Strong recommendation for chocolates if you are in NH: Mainely Gourmet, in Portsmouth. I believe that, in my time buying chocolates there, I have been given more free chocolate than I have bought. And everything they make is so delicious, too.

Yesterday, since it was rainy, we decided to go to Portsmouth. I phoned the store to see when they were open. Until six! Great! Do you have any goat cheese truffles left? Sure, wait, no, sorry, we’re out. Oh no! But she agreed to make me some to pick up the next day, and I went there anyways for other truffles. (Though the hazelnut was *milk* chocolate. What heresy!)

I went back today, and sure enough there were my truffles. She had made exactly 12 for me. Then, as my father was chatting with the other woman who owns the store, she offered us each a chocolate-covered biscotti. (It was very good.) Then we discussed why they were out of those wonderful truffles (wine tasting in the finger lakes area), and what the most popular truffle was (chevre) and the next most popular (kosher sea salt) and lo and behold she gave us three sea salt truffles (I have yet to taste mine, but I am looking forward to it). I will show pictures and a review when I eat them, but I strongly recommend this place. (Just off I-95/Rte 1.)

While you are there, go and have a meal at Friendly Toast. Their home fries are better than either their regular or sweet potato fries.
