I totally spaced and forgot to mention that this week's Carnival is up for viewing at Elementary Chef. Lots of good stuff to try, go check it out!
Two recipes I'm gonna add to my must-try list are Shawn's Frozen Berries with Hot White Chocolate, and Julie's Chocolate Chess Pie. Julie doesn't say why it's called "chess". Maybe you can play a game of chess in the time it takes to cook.
And for a change, a non-chocolate recipe has caught my eye. I am definitely going to try Meanderings' Mince & Tatties recipe!
Ah, I didn't know that. Thanks Sonnet!

A chess pie is a Southern thing - you usually see it as a lemon chess pie. Bottom pastry crust with a lemon-curd like filling that has a little cornmeal in it. During baking, the cornmeal rises to the top and gives a slight crispness to it.
