Granny_Weatherwax Posted October 2, 2016 Posted October 2, 2016 Because I'm sitting here wanting to eat the fundraiser chocolate bars that DGD is selling but I've already met my calorie quota for the day and you're an enabler. 7 Quote

Seasider Posted October 2, 2016 Posted October 2, 2016 No, I don't know why YOU started a thread about chocolate, but I can tell you why I was about to start one. I have this friend who is a serial MLM entrepreneur. She starts repping one, sticks with it 6-12 months, then hops to a new one. Her fb timeline could be a case study of some kind. Anyway... Her latest thing is Dove Chocolate Discoveries (or something like that). Seriously, she is MLMing chocolate parties. I can't for the life of me imagine that being successful in any way, despite a universal love of chocolate. SMH here but maybe y'all can share some insight I can't imagine. 1 Quote
Rosie_0801 Posted October 2, 2016 Posted October 2, 2016 I ate chocolate covered sandalwood nuts the other month, mixed with bits of dried quondong. Quote
KrissiK Posted October 2, 2016 Posted October 2, 2016 I stand in the pantry and eat chocolate chips directly from the bag. 15 Quote

Ausmumof3 Posted October 2, 2016 Posted October 2, 2016 Your all mean... I only have cocoa powder right now. And I want some chocolate. 2 Quote
Rosie_0801 Posted October 2, 2016 Posted October 2, 2016 Your all mean... I only have cocoa powder right now. And I want some chocolate. You have sugar too? My grandpa taught me to make powdered chocolate out of cocoa powder and sugar. He used to eat it out of small aluminium pie trays. Quote
creekland Posted October 2, 2016 Posted October 2, 2016 Had to vote no, but my non-sweet loving self is literally here eating a bowl of Count Chocula as I do so. Why? Because it's one cereal I remember and love from my youth and I seem to recall they discontinued it except at Halloween. My memory could be off, but when I was at the store on Friday and saw the special display - and for only $2.50 - my taste buds needed some nostalgia. And it's very good. :lol: (I had wondered if it would be everything I remembered or leave me disappointed.) Normally, I'm only into Dark Chocolate, sometimes with Almonds or Macadamia Nuts. NO salted varieties. 4 Quote

Jean in Newcastle Posted October 2, 2016 Posted October 2, 2016 So why did you start this thread??? Look at Slache's "recent status updates" 5 Quote
Janeway Posted October 2, 2016 Posted October 2, 2016 So why did you start this thread??? Cause it is chocolate, who needs more reason than that? LOL 4 Quote
TranquilMind Posted October 2, 2016 Posted October 2, 2016 It is likely to be the only noncontroversial post in history. Is there anyone who doesn't believe in chocolate? 2 Quote

TranquilMind Posted October 2, 2016 Posted October 2, 2016 My 15 yr old. I may have to give him away. It is a tragedy. <sad sigh> He will come around. Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it. ;) I feel relatively certain you have done your part here. :laugh: 9 Quote
barnwife Posted October 2, 2016 Posted October 2, 2016 It is likely to be the only noncontroversial post in history. Is there anyone who doesn't believe in chocolate? Well, me, sort of. I used to be a devoted consumer of chocolate. I've always had a sweet tooth. And...now I am pregnant with DC#4. It turns out that he or she does not like anything sweet. Chocolate is out. Ice cream is out. Jam/jelly is out. FTR, that's a cruel trick to play on a pregnant women. I only have 3 months left...(which means there's only 3 months until Christmas!). But I will happily let everyone else enjoy chocolate still, as long as I can eat all of the spicy, garlicky things. 1 Quote

I may have to fight you for it!! The two of you are welcome to fight over any of my salted discards. I love most salty things, but chocolate and watermelon are two that gag me if they are salted. I can't eat them even to be polite. I also love caramel, but not with salt. A good caramel milkshake is a dream treat. Coconut too, but we're starting to stray a bit away from this chocolate themed thread. 1 Quote
Donna Posted October 3, 2016 Posted October 3, 2016 I stand in the pantry and eat chocolate chips directly from the bag. I keep a bag of chocolate chips in the freezer and have a few every night after dinner. Quote
shawthorne44 Posted October 3, 2016 Posted October 3, 2016 This is probably a good place to put my latest brag. DD told my father, "I love you more than chocolate." while visiting them. 4 Quote
Rosie_0801 Posted October 3, 2016 Posted October 3, 2016 You can pass any salted chocolate over my way--especially if it has caramel somewhere in it. :drool5: I ate cheese this weekend that had caramel after tones. You know how expensive cheese shops have signs saying it has a fruity flavour, you buy it and it absolutely doesn't, well this one really did have caramel after tones! It was even called 'Midnight Moon' which is a terribly romantic name for a cheese. Quote
Rosie_0801 Posted October 3, 2016 Posted October 3, 2016 My kids found my stash and told dh and they ate it all this weekend. :nopity: I think they all ought to spend their pocket money on a big box of chocolate seashells to say sorry. That was a terrible thing to do. :svengo: Quote
Melissa in Australia Posted October 3, 2016 Posted October 3, 2016 DH took 2 children to the dentist today. 5 fillings for one and 2 for the other.

Ha ha No idea what you think about fluoride but we are rural so non fluoride water and I have found the tooth mousse to be a life saver for my kids teeth once they were old enough.

A good caramel milkshake is a dream treat. Coconut too, but we're starting to stray a bit away from this chocolate themed thread. People salt watermelon? Sorry for the aside -- that just took me by surprise. I have seen salted chocolate -- whether it's a success or not depends entirely upon whether the chocolate is dark enough and high enough quality, and whether a good coordinating salt is used. That said, I will not be eating salted chocolate again any time in the near future except on rare occasions -- I have to reduce my salt intake, so I will happily forego those and eat other intense chocolate instead.

AMJ Posted October 3, 2016 Posted October 3, 2016 Nah it was all in fun. They didn't do it to be mean and we all shared. We never have mini candy bars around here except around Halloween, so it was like finding ice cream under their pillow. :w00t: :drool5: Okay, I'll forgive them this once. But tell them the bit about it being medicine. You don't deprive Mom of her chocolate, and you don't eat too much in one sitting. Chocolate overdose is a very real danger, and not at all pretty in kids. 1 Quote

My in laws salt watermelon. They consider it normal. It was a surprising (and gross) way for me to find out this variation of eating. Quote
shawthorne44 Posted October 3, 2016 Posted October 3, 2016 One thing I don't understand is spicy chocolate. As in pepper added. Salt, caramel, bacon, all that is fine. But pepper chocolate is just yuck. Quote
