Chocolate Bowls - With Stuff In Em'

This is my attempt at making chocolate bowls after seeing this post in /r/Baking this morning.  They are like mini Peanut Butter Pies; on the bottom is a layer of Oreo, then whipped peanut butter filling.  And, boy, were they Good!

Brown Trout

I cooked up some delicious, and FRESH brown trout to serve with some scalloped potatoes. And did I mention fresh?  We caught it ourselves on Lake Ontario two days earlier.

Crab Rangoon

The best Crab Rangoon I've ever had was from a small Thai restaurant named Ginger Thai in Sommerville, MA.  These were not as good as those.  But, they were still really, and I mean really, good.

For a real treat, try this:
You'll have lots of scrap baklava if you cut them into non-rectangular pieces.  I made some homemade vanilla ice cream and mashed the baklava bits into it.  Hands Down: the BEST ICE CREAM I'VE EVER HAD.

I have to say that the best thing about this dish is the garlic.  I have since cooked garlic in some olive oil in the oven by itself.  Once heated low and slow, it takes on a very sweet buttery property and spreads beautifully over toast, goes well in wraps, and makes one heck of an addition to some homemade mayonnaise, but that's another show.

I've never before peeled garlic without first smashing the hell out of it with the underside of a sauce pot or side of a knife.  It took a lot of garlic, a lot of time, and a lot of sore fingers from using the underside of my nails to rip off the papery skin.  In future versions, I'd recommend getting the pre-peeled versions available at most grocery stores.
