Cooking instruction summary:

If you do not have powdered erythritol or a powdered erythritol/stevia icing mix, just make it yourself by grinding it with a stick blender or in a food processor (I made a whole batch which I keep in the cupboard for whenever I need it). I have tried this recipe with granulated erythritol and found that the granules, unlike sugar, do not melt at lower temperatures. Youll end up with some sweet chocolates and some very plain ones an acquired taste Grind your pistachios into small pieces and dry roast in a pan over a low heat, moving them around with a spatula regularly until they are browned evenly. This should take a few minutesMelt the grated cacao butter in a Bain Marie (a bowl over simmering water). If you decide not to bother with this and simply melt it in a pot, you must make sure that you do it over a VERY low heatOnce the cacao butter is melted, add the sifted cocoa, sea salt and sweetener and stirPour the chocolate mix into an ice cube tray or into small silicone mouldsPlace in the freezer for 5 minutes until the top is beginning to setRemove the chocolate tray from the freezer and add the pistachios.

In 2012, divers discovered a 2,000-year-old Roman shipwreck that was so well preserved even the food was intact in its storage jars.

Food Joke

A man told his doctor, "I don't think my wife's hearing is as good as it used to be. What should I do?" The doctor replied, "Try this test first. When your wife is at the sink doing dishes, stand fifteen feet behind her and ask her a question. If she doesn't respond, keep moving closer, asking the question until she hears you." He went home and saw his wife preparing dinner. Standing fifteen feet behind her he said, "What's for dinner, honey?" Hearing no reply, he moved up to ten feet behind her and repeated the question. Still no reply, so he moved to five feet. Finally he stood directly behind her and said, "Honey, what's for dinner tonight?" She turned around and yelled in his face, "For the fourth time, I SAID CHICKEN, you deaf old goat!
