Chocolate lover's thread!

[kathycf]

Yeah, chocolate's good. Can I have some coffee with mine? Wait...you are serving chocolate here, right? Ah, well. Where's my gasoline and $5 bill?

Yes, there is chocolate. Gas and money are all well and good, but don't taste nearly as nice. Coffee is also right at home.

I don't know what happened with the other threads, but I thought we were all respectful of each other. I certainly wasn't upset. I apologize if I upset anyone.

I guess we can all agree that we love chocolate.

Yes we can all agree on that. I don't know what happened either. I think people were being ok, but some things were getting misinterpreted and the tone started getting negative.... I am sorry that I contributed to that, but I said what I had to say out in the open and there is no way to take it back now. I just want everybody to be happy.

Well, anyway...back to chocolate. I made some cocoa. (I can blame you for that Virgil, along with Koa, Night and PL!! ) It was reaallly good! I usually use humdrum Swiss Miss brand cocoa but put light cream (the same I use for coffee) in it.

I love dark chocolate covered pretzels....hum, next thing to heaven. Anyone see the film, "Chocolat"? You just have to eat lots of chocolate when watching that film. The stuff looks so yummy!
I am with Drama - lots of cinammon...did I spell that wrong(?) with my hot chocolate...nice in coffee, too.
I guess chocolate is pretty cool with everyone. This should be peaceful, but really I did not see a thing wrong with those other threads. Oh well....
I am glad this thread is calorie free. Dark chocolate is considered a health requirement now - a little each day is good for the heart. So do indulge!

Thank you for all the lovely recipes ! I'll post my favourites when I'm back home.

Chocolate? I adore chocolate! Hey, I smell it somewhere. I am getting hungry!

I had just read Taras Grescoe's Devil's Picnic and there's a chapter about chocolate..here's a quote:

Chocolate contains twelve hundred chemicals, among them tryptophan, an essential amino acid involved in the production of mood-regulating serotonin, and three distinct N-acylethnanolamines, which in large quantities can mimic the action of marijuana by binding to the brain's cannaboid receptors. Commercial chocolate, like the kind that goes into Mars and Snickers bars, is so heavily processed that it is stripped of any compounds-apart from sugar and fat-that could help elevate mood; but high quality cacao....is rich in the potent stimulants called methylxanthines.

Logos, that just proves what I have thought all along...chocolate is perfect food.

I know it is just virtual but will this do for you, Pensy?

Thank you. But it feels like near to something yet far far away. Want to take it and eat it all, but unable to do so. But still, it does the trick. Makes me feel very good, because it is a delicious sight.

[Koa]

Koa do you put marshmellos in your hot choclate? and cinimmon?

No way! I don't like cinnamon that much and I've only seen those marshthings in an episode of the Simpsons...

I had that very same picture (smaller of course) as an avatar in another forum for a few months

Hey, I just found this thread. Great idea! Not only is chocolate yummy, but it's good for you also. I'm gonna go eat some. As for hot chocolate, I prefer Ovaltine.

[Lily Adams]

Nah, let them eat cake.

Nice.

Only if it is chocolate cake.

Such witty people on this forum! Of course it is a literature forum!

Anyway, I ate too much chocolate today...it was just sitting there in the candy dish to tempt me and torture me, so I ate it. Not all of it, of course. I have a sweet tooth like Salieri. He's always eating rum pudding or chocolate. Cheers to the world's favorite (Or is least favorite more appropriate?) sweet tooth/homicidal maniac!

[bluevictim]

Not all of it, of course.

Well? What are you waiting for?

[Lily Adams]

Well? What are you waiting for?

Blargh. I'd probably cast up my accounts if I did that! I'm too full.

I'd also get really hyper and not be able to get to sleep. I have a final exam tomorrow!

[kathycf]

Good luck on your exam. When you are done, you can celebrate with more chocolate....

[Lily Adams]

Ah, yes, thank you! I will...I'm going to shop a bit this weekend to celebrate as well as eat chocolate...which doesn't make any sense, because I hate clothes shopping; but I'm going with a friend, so that's why it's considered "celebrating". Hopefully she'll help me out of the drudgery...
