Chocolate Week

..................................

I don't know how I missed this one. A couple of days late but I thought it deserved a thread for all things chocolate, and an excuse for us to indulge in anything that could even loosely be related to one of my favourite indulgences.

Here's a site that lets you know what is happening around the country and best of all is that it has a list of freebies.

Finally, just in case some of you worry about the your diet just remember my theory. A well balanced diet means that you need to hold the same amount of Chocolate in both hands.

I love chocolate but right now have the flu. Will make up for it though when I feel better.

Happy Chocolate week to you all.

Chocolate is my big downfall, I can't have any in the house.

OK....just keep it in the garage.

NB. Chocolate is a Vegetable: chocolate is derived from cocoa beans. Bean = vegetable. Sugar is derived from either sugar cane or sugar beets. Both are plants, which places them in the vegetable category. Thus, chocolate is a vegetable. To go one step further, chocolate bars also contain milk, which is dairy. So Milk Chocolate bars are a health food.

I love your logic, now all I have to do is persuade my body that it's really low calorie too and I'll be fine.

That's easy, just eat someone else's chocolate, that way the calories are someone else's as well

As calories are an issue, store your chocolate on top of the fridge. Calories are afraid of heights, and they will jump out of the chocolate to protect themselves.....honest.

Walk while eating chocolate..the exercise cancels out the calories.

Also if no one sees you eating the chocolate the calories don't count..so avoid mirrors and windows.

Also melted chocolate doesn't count because it is liquid...and liquids are good for you.

Is it dark or milk chocolate week, though? I'm kind of a racist when it comes to chocolate.
