I have a two hour lay-over at Heathrow on Monday...I plan on eating the airport dry of Cadbury.

Canada gets some of the good Cadbury's stuff too.

I believe the pyramidal action typically causes transient, non-replicable, mysterious faults in any and all electronic equipment.

Most of my new-agey/pagan/magickal friends are in awe of my ability to be festooned with functioning pagers, cellphones, and watches, as well as to operate a computer without frequent glitches and crashes.

Magickal energy is hard on modern electronic devices, you see.

I keep a huge chunk of jet on top of my computer, just in case. Jet is a sort of psychic energy sink and keeps the machinery from going kablooey in case I need to work magick nearby.

Oh damn. Where did I put my pills?

Lindt truffle balls (dark, milk, and white) are made of chocolate-covered crack.

mexican hot chocolate recipe from internet:
2 cups water
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon suger
dash of crushed red pepper
two whole cloves or pinch pf powdered clove
pinch powered ginger
bring to a boil, simmer 3-5 minutes. remove from heat, whisk in 1/4 cup cocoa powder.
add teaspoon of vanilla extract.
strain into serving vessel. I use a steel thermos.

My son can't have anything dairy. I make this every winter , all winter and all the kids love it. the rest of the kids take theirs with a bit of milk. I take mine with a bit of Scotch whisky.

Get a jar , (coco and hazelnut spread ), some good grainy bread , toast the bread and spread on the Nutella THICK , eat it , and pick your self up off the floor and make another !!!

As to chocolate , the darker the better !!!!

Now for something slightly different BUT related ,
Get a box of Girl Sprout Thinmints ,
freeze them HARD ,
put a few in a blender and beat them up untill they are about the size of an english pea , add a few scoops of some GOOOOD Vanilla ice cream ( the kind with black specks of vanilla bean in it ) , a little milk , and a shot of brandy , mix .
Sit back and enjoy !!!!!!!

Or, go to the store and buy it. You're still going to need to buy the brandy separately - for now.

The great thing about this country is that if more than two people want something, someone will figure out a way to produce and market it.

I'm still waiting for banana-chocolate chip-peanut butter ice cream.http://www.cellar.org/images/smilies/lol.gif

I can make that.

Hey, waitaminnit.

Isn't that Ben & Jerry's Chunky Monkey?

Nope. Chunky Monkey is Banana Ice Cream with Fudge Chunks & Walnuts.

I love banana ice-cream and everything you can make with it (esp. shakes!) but, I hate bananas. Weird.

The banana chocolate-chip peanut butter ice cream sounds :yum:
