have mad, passionate, gooey cyber-chocolate with strangers online

I helped a friend make Tiramisu… we had to grate (shred) lots of chocolate to sprinkle over the top.

I would have licked all of this melted this chocolate off, but they weren’t my fingers…

Terry’s Chocolate Orange Easter eggs! They even come in their own little orange carton! With little orange spoons!

But there’s only one left… can I tempt you?

QUITE as lush & intoxicating as one might wish . . . but cyber-chocolate is like that, I guess. :-)

... in a Ferrero Rocher?

no regrets!

I learned about last night. Bear with me—it may sound strange.

A traditional Mayan form of hot chocolate involves mixing & heating chocolate, water, & a sweetener (I imagine it would have been from sugar cane) with corn mash. The result: a deliciously thickened nutritious beverage.

To me it sounds wonderful! Have some with me . . .

And its name is “Chocolate Truffle” pie from Village Inn. Wow…
European Truffle Pie
And I quote…. Ahem…

Sinfully rich pie with a dark chocolate cookie crumb crust, layered with chocolate ganache, rich dark chocolate silk and chocolate crumbs followed by chocolate whipped cream and topped with curls of chocolate.

I do because my 43T friends invite me to! I am losing the feeble shards of a mind I once had.

But chocolate-mmmmmm-is worth it, when it’s cyber-chocolate & doesn’t mess up my Lenten discipline.

I just had Colombian hot chocolate tonight (Sundays are feast days even during Lent, so this was allowed). This chocolate is dark & packaged as hard segmented rectangles. You have to break off segments with a heavy knife or cleaver. I like the kind that has added sugar, cinnamon & cloves. You melt the chocolate in a little water over low heat, then add milk & more water, heat, then beat till frothy. There’s a traditional wooden implement for this, but I don’t have it; I just use a whisk. So yummy.

Want some?? And what exotic kinds of chocolate can you offer me, stranger?

Thanks for the invite ;-)

Here’s a yummy Aussie Chocolatier selection for you to choose from… mmm-mmmmm.

I have chocolate, I could care less about the coffee, so now I just need a man!!! (Preferably a strange man full of goodwill!)
