There are numerous ways to fill your home with the sights, sounds and scents of Christmas. Of course, it wouldn't be Christmas without a tree. Whether you choose to cut one down yourself or buy one in a store, a tree is definitely the main decoration and is usually displayed in a living room or family room.

Super-Choc-O-Food
Author: Julie Wolfson
Commune Design and Valerie Confections join forces once again

Valerie Confections has launched its second chocolate collaboration with Commune Design, taking a psychedelic departure from last year's Byzantine tile-inspired box of sweets. Inside the new Woodstock-themed wrappers, chocolatier Valerie Gordon has packed more than a dozen ingredients inside her giant handmade Super-Choc-O-Food, transforming a sugary treat into a substantial portion of almonds, cashews, peanuts, macadamias, golden raisins, dried pears, apricots, sunflower seeds, soy salt, and caramel.

"As a starting point in the new design, we wanted to do an oversized chocolate bar that was packed with ingredients," says Gordon. "The idea of the chocolate as a 'Space Bar' coalesced, inspiring the subsequent design work by Commune, which might be described as late '60s retro-futurism. What the chocolate bar of the future might have been imagined to be." She describes the packaging as a "design explosion," with an image of Adam and Eve on the back that reads, "Chocolate is a divine celestial drink, the sweat of the stars, the vital seed, divine nectar, the drink of the gods, panacea and universal medicine." Amen.

Super-Choc-O-Food comes in a set of three 225-gram bars, available at the Valerie Confections e-shop for $60.

Planting Anise for Anise Seed
Anise is an annual continental herb grown for its seeds, which are used chiefly in flavoring, but also in perfumes and confectionery products. The seeds have a wonderful warm flavor, perfect in baking, but it has also been used to treat colic. The fresh leaves of anise can be used as a garnish for salads. The plants themselves will be several feet high when they reach full maturity and will have an anise-aroma. Their leaves are willowy and light as they put on flowers that will produce their rich seeds. You can harvest leaves throughout the season as a garnish and harvest the seeds in the fall.
