Andrew told us he'd be finding fun quotes to accompany his FMF posts; today he only quoted and didn't write anything himself. Check them out!
My relationship with chocolate is unusual.
1. I don't like candy of any kind at all. My mother used to complain she'd throw away my Halloween candy at Easter and she'd throw away my Easter candy at Halloween.
2. People who haven't known me a long time or who don't know me well frequently assume I don't like sweets, but that's not true. I love high end, rich, decadent sweets, though chocolate isn't often my first choice.
3. Partly because certain chocolates in certain forms at certain times of day are migraine triggers for me.
4. But what do I like? Chocolate chip cookies. Especially home baked chocolate chip cookies. I'm partial to the Nestlé Toll House recipe, but others can be fabulous. I fondly recall one of my design school classmates baking dozens from the Splenda recipe. They were lighter and not as rich as some, but they also were in the "can't eat just one" category.
Another favorite was a neighbor who made the Toll House recipe with half lard and half butter. A real wow!
And I love some hot fudge sundaes. You likely know just as chocolate chips differ and people have different preferences, fudge sauces variy in sweetness, bitterness, richness, and other attributes.
What's your chocolate pleasure?
I no longer eat chocolate, but back in the day I was a real chocoholic. Cadbury fruit and nut chocolate bars were my favorite.
