Chocolate: the most important of the food groups




Just in case you did not hear the news.....

It has been announced that Dark Chocolate is now being promoted as healthy....heart healthy at that!!! Seems chemicals in dark chocolate enlarge arteries therefore allowing better blood flow. You now have even more reason to 'indulge and enjoy'. :)

Bring on the Godivas! This calls for a toast with a chocolate martini! ;)

Yes, heard it last night, but it bears repeating today! (And tomorrow, and the next day, and....)
Thanks for thinking to post this.

Heading off to the store now.

That news about the dark choclate being healthy has been all over our newspapers and on TV. The only chocolate I love it dark chocolate - absolutely! Wish they made a dark chocolate Absolut vodka - not martini - just absolut.

......all our news stations and newspapers as well. :) I guess it falls into the "good news" category. :)

And if Godiva would start to make the cranberry truffles again and HAL would serve them I could get the DW to take an extra cruise or two.

Last year John Mulvaney was executive chef on my cruise. One night sugar-free chocolate jello was on the dessert menu. Chocolate jello? Of course I tried it; it was awful.:eek: John was in the dining room as I left so I stopped and suggested he lose the recipe. :(
The next day he saw me when I was alone and he asked what was wrong with the jello. He sincerely wanted to know---was taking notes---so that it could be improved.

Perhaps in thanks he sent a lovely tray of (sugar-free) chocolate truffles to me. They were delicious! :D To top it off he prepared a box to go home with me. :)
Seemed to extend the cruise for as long as they lasted.

It's this kind of treatment that does make me book another cruise.

longtimecruiser---thanks anyway, but no thanks. I appreciate the offer---and I'm sure you worked very hard duplicating the recipe---but mailing it up to me it could get messy. Please, just share it with your mom.
