I can't get info on dutch process cocoa, though I am almost sure I've bought it at surfas before. When doing brownie mixes.
It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

I think I will definitely add Burlingame to the list of places to look, Kat.
I've never been to Surfas either.

I can't believe you've never been to surfas, ita and Lee! It's SHOCKING.
ita, The Valrhona doesn't say dutch process on the container, but it is when you look at the ingredients because it has the alkali.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Surfas is SO COOL. Once ita goes, she'll be there every week from now on buying cool baking stuff. I'm not going to mention Lee, because of the whole "moving away and so can never go back there again even though she will love it" factor.

It seems so strange that something so basic, the Dutch process stuff, would be so hard to find. The brownie mixes I bought last night [bad brenda!] on sale for 99 cents say on the front that they're made with the stuff. It's been a long time since I bought cocoa - I don't use it that much so it lasts a while - but I wouldn't have imagined that it would be at all difficult to find. I'm beginning to think there must be a spell involved.

That traffic pattern site is really cool, ita. I think I would still need to be there in person to make sure, but it looks like the area the apartment is would be okay.
Where is Surfas?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Can't you fake Dutch process with "regular" cocoa plus baking soda or powder or something?

That site makes it very hard to find the address. Looks interesting though.
I'm not allowed to buy anything I would have to pack, so I am glad they have online ordering.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, Christ. I'm screwed. There used to be a chef's supply place on my way home from work when I lived in Montreal.
I won't go until after I've moved. That's for sure.

This would not surprise me.
I just got TiVo ToGo! It could be like crack.
