Botched Alaska with Exxon Valdez fudge sauce

Please read this article. I find it wonderful when food and current events (well, maybe not so current) mingle in such an interesting way. If only Baked Alaska didn't seem so complicated and unnecessarily fussy, I might consider making it just to serve it with the "whiskey-laden Exxon Valdez fudge sauce." How funny.

In unrelated news, I found out yesterday that Dagoba, one of my favorite chocolate brands (mostly because I thought it was named after the Dagobah System from Star Wars and I love Yoda), was bought out by Hershey a few years ago. Today I discovered that Burt's Bees was recently bought by Clorox and Tom's of Maine is owned by Colgate. Does anyone else find this to be a sad trend?
