Chocolate

[Perry Winkle]

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.

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.

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.

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
