Allow me to introduce you to ruby chocolate. It is nothing like the chocolate that you know and love. It is fruity, creamy, and has a little tang. I bought a ruby chocolate bar out of curiosity years ago while studying the chocolate aisle at natural grocers. Every now and then I get a hankering for it. Did I mention that its pink? And last week it hit me again. Lemon is the perfect pairing for this muffin. This one definitely rings closer to a dessert. I love the idea of making these for mason jar cupcakes this summer! But I think a super rich icing will be too much. These are calling to a homemade whipped cream between them.
Lemon Ruby Chocolate Muffins
Ingredients: 1 3/4 cup fresh milled soft wheat flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/4 cup coconut sugar
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
1 tsp lemon extract
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs
2/3 cups milk
1/4 cup melted butter
1 bar of Ruby Chocolate
Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Add all the dry ingredients to a large bowl. Mix together, add all the wet ingredients, butter last. Stir. Launch into your muffin tin. Fill about 1/2 to 2/3 full. Chop the Ruby Chocolate bar. Sprinkle 3/4 of the bar on top of the muffins. Bake 12-15 minutes. Makes a perfect dozen.
Enjoy!

I tend to agree that it would be pretty wild to see a link Big Pilot, with its Onion crown and – what I have to imagine would be – a massive set of pushers. But stranger things have happened in the watch world. Nonetheless, what we have today is a piece that link doesn't disrupt the basic design fundamentals of the Big Pilot link while still managing to introduce a new complication into the mix.
Another week, link another Sub, and this one is particularly chef's kiss. Over the last year or so I really have been lusting over more non-date Submariners. For the longest time (ever since I started wearing a watch), I always preferred to have the date. This was purely for practical purposes. One day after seeing a 5513, it clicked and I started to really pay attention to the non-date models. link I link always thought having a date was more important, but sometimes symmetry can trump function.
But what does this result mean? link I'll admit, the feel of a result like this is not as jaw-dropping as it once was. I mentioned this Journe is now the seventh most expensive wristwatch sold link at auction, three of the six in front of it sold within the last three years. Look, it link still means a ton for a watch to emerge above 5 million dollars at auction but we're getting desensitized to these numbers, no one can argue that.
You're probably sensing a trend right now. While the 6538 had its small crown cousin the the 6536/1, link the 5510 has its own more diminutive relation in the 5508. This watch has the slimmer 100m-water-resistant link case and crown, while evolving the design language link of the 6536/1. We have a more consistent, low-key Mercedes handset right from the start and dials that exhibit exceptional balance in terms of how the markers and typography are laid out.
The rest of the watch is much the same link as before, with identical measurements at 42.5mm by 10.39mm thick in the grade 5 titanium case, applied numerals link with lume that matches the hands, and a small seconds display shown by a colored screw on the tourbillon. As a part Vacheron's move to boutique exclusivity, you'll have to head to a brand boutique to get your name on the list for this watch and be ready to pay link the list price.
