i've noticed that they sell the torches and the accompanying fuel at Target (Target just generally has a lot of kitchen gadgets); they might have it other places but I haven't seen it.
and a la mode does mean with ice cream on top. like apple pie a la mode. 
and Moonstar, i noticed you use mini chocolate chips too! i love them; i barely ever use full size chocolate chips unless i plan on melting them. |

Re: The Art of Baking
I just want to take this opportunity to say how much I love the baking thread in general. I can almost smell it.
