Because of Valentine's Day

I've been watching the Food network quite a bit today and last night because they are having chocolate as the main theme in the programs because of Valentine's Day (at least thats what I think). Right now they have Iron Chef America. There are two chefs an Iron Chef (one that has already proven their ability to cook) and a challenger, they then create a number of dishes with a key ingredient in a limited time. Then they have judges taste them and score them at the end during the judging the chef has to defend the dishes if the judge has a problem with the dish, it kinda reminds me of my defense. The chefs have to incorporate a key or a couple key ingredients into all of the dishes. This one they have chocolate (of course) and coconut as the key ingredients. The dishes are not all deserts - it's weird to think of having chocolate in main course type of meals. Earlier today they showed chocolate pasta - that is just weird. One of the chefs had a chocolate pasta in this show too. A different type of show I was watching had top chocolate things across the US one was about a chocolate lovers weekend at a place in New Hampshire. People can go there and learn new recipes using chocolate - all were desert dishes it looked like it would be a fun thing to do. Watching these shows make me want to cook - deserts at least :).
The iron Chef won. 50 to 45
