I swear I am not making this up. there is a caregiver chocolate conference this afternoon in my neck of the woods. they will be serving a variety of chocolate treats to help relieve stress. and I can't go, altho I am thinking about rearranging my schedule so I can go. joang
I would go in a flash! Last summer I had "Come Get Your Just Desserts" party - all chocolate stuff! I had 18 people here and was it ever fun and good! Gotta have chocolate!
It is at the Council on Aging of Martin County in Stuart. 10th Street. I definitely cannot go, nor should I, even if I could. The last thing this body needs is more chocolate. Kilwin's is providing the chocolate, by the way.
I have an appointment at the gym this afternoon. And the bank. Now, let's see- gym or chocolate? Gym or chocolate? Considering the condition of my body, the gym appointment wins.
Don't worry cyber friends-I am not going to the gym with Joan (very big grin). Actually when I'm not busy breaking legs I do go to aerobics almost every day. Then eat chocolate at night.
Chocolate is the staff of life, not by bread alone do we manage..it is the iron and magnesium found in dark chocolate that gives us endurance! go for it and have a dark chocolate raspsberry filled something for me..yum
I hated chocolate my whole life...... but I am slowly finding out its merits...... such as the only Kiss I ever get is called Hershey... But in all fairness to all of you, chocolate can be very dangerous.. It is best to have someone else test it first...Just send it to me and I will provide you with a written report on its quality and taste.....
Phranque, I understand about the hersey's kiss. If you have any chocolate that you just can't get to to test it, I'll be more than glad to help you with it.
What an awesome idea! I say we begin a virtual Chocolate Buffet! I'll do a Chocolate Fondue, with slices of bananas, strawberries, pineapple, marshmallows, and anything else I can think of!
I hate dark chocolate, too. I love Hershey's milk chocolate. It is like a drug to me - I have to just say no, because if I have one, I will have lots more. A chocolate conference sounds like a conference worth attending!
Dove. Nothing like the soft, smooth, ecstatic feeling of those little milk chocolate squares melting in your mouth!
My sister bought me a bag while we were in RI. I ate 1/3 of the bag, and then slipped the rest into my father's "chocolate" drawer in his dresser as a surprise for him. Yes, it runs in the family. My father is also a chocoholic, but he is able to restrain himself. He eats ONE, can you believe it, ONE piece a day.
Being an ex Brit I like Cadbury's milk chocolate. I just went to Walgreen's to pick up 2 of my prescriptions and picked up a bag of Cadbury's mini eggs. I'll probably pig out on them. lol
I like dark chocolate M&Ms and if you eat them one at a time and slowly, they last a long time. I can't believe you missed the chocolate thing to go to the gym, Joan!!!
Toblar makes wonderful balls of flavored chocolate, which when whacked solidly break away into sections like an orange. They're about the size of a baseball. They do milk chocolate and dark, with orange or raspberry flavoring. I prefer the orange milk chocolate. Orange sherbet with hot fudge sauce is heavenly. For day-to-day, I need my Reese' pieces, or I can make do with a few miniature Reese's PB cups. Plain, peanutbutter, or krispie m&ms are good too. Chocolate cake, brownies, and chocolate soy ice cream...mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Have you tried the sugar free Russell Stover clusters or peanut butter cups? My hubby is diabetic..but lately he has a craving for sweets which is not like him..These he enjoys one at a time..seems to satisfy his new sweet tooth. As for me, I like them too BUT they have that sweetener that can send one to the loo if you enjoy too many at one time. That said, for me, the fruit flavored dark chocolates are yummy..lemon, orange, strawberry, raspberry,. AS to milk chocolate...well the peanut clusters or turtles are a hit... I think the chocolate thing is genetic : )
