Now we come to the meat of this article: Nib files. Nib files are bundles that contain resources created by Interface Builder (IB). When you create a new Cocoa project, one Nib, MainMenu.nib, is automatically created for you. In MainMenu.nib, you can setup a menu bar (duh) and any additional windows, panels, or drawers you want.
Using a Nib is simple, in fact we all do it every time we make a new Cocoa application. Using more than one Nib is almost as simple: just create one with your original application in Project Builder (PB). Choose Cocoa Document-based Application under File..New Project. Under the Resources group in your newly-created project, you'll see MyDocument.nib. MyDocument.nib is a Nib loaded for each individual document opened in the application.
So anyone who knows me knows this: my chocolate desserts introduce. My chocolate desserts keep you on your toes. My chocolate desserts are about the breadth of chocolate. Because I loves me some chocolate. A lot. And I, like the rest of us, loves me some warm & hot chocolate, creamy chocolate, dark and milk chocolate, cocoa nibs, Dutched and Natural cocoa. Give me chocolate and I am happy. Or happier.
I infuse/cook buckwheat groats and cocoa nibs with cream, steep and then blend for a long long time in a mightily powerful blender. I, just barely, set this liquid into pannacotta with as little gelatin as I can get away with. The buckwheat helps by lending its thickening starchy power to the mix. This is really fun to play with, should you want to experiment with it in your own kitchen. A little can go a long way with flavor & viscosity.
