Chocolate - a fab finale

Before I rave about the decadence, richness and satisfaction of good chocolate, let me thank the medical researchers who have discovered that it is good for us.

I'm not sure they would endorse this chocolate creation of Brian Feirstein, executive chef at Eddie V's, as healthy exactly, but I would bet caviar to hot dogs there wouldn't be a smidgen of it left on their plates.

Thanks to Lindsey Bridges and Chef Brian for sharing this yummy finale from SC Ranch in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Chocolate Godiva Cake

Yield - 4 cakes

1/2 lb. dark Godiva chocolate

Melt chocolate and butter. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs and sugar, then add vanilla.
Slowly add eggs to chocolate.

Then add an hour to tomorrow's workout routine.
