Guest Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Did you know it is officially Chocolate week ? www.chocolate-week.co.uk There are events going on all over the place, but most importantly, if you needed an excuse, now you have one! We had pancakes last night with marshmallows inside and melted chocolate drizzled over the top! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Every week is Chocolate Week as far as I'm concerned. (Organic and in moderation of course!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 We had pancakes last night with marshmallows inside and melted chocolate drizzled over the top! That sounds pretty delicious Ginette... I've never thought of stuffing my pancakes with marshmallows before, but somehow I imagine that the children might enjoy that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Wow! A whole week when I can officially eat chocolate! I love it!! Do you think it might expand to Chocolate Month then Chocolate Year? Trouble it, it wouldn't be the only thing expanding . Chocolate Brownie, anyone?

I've never thought of stuffing my pancakes with marshmallows before, but somehow I imagine that the children might enjoy that I'd rather just have the marshmallows! And yes, the chocolate was organic and fairly traded! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocchick Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Every week is Chocolate Week as far as I'm concerned. (Organic and in moderation of course!) Every week, about evey day* *I'm not that bad really, although this is going to turn out like the cheese on toast thread. Maybe we need another wine thread as well?

Martin B Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Make sure that anyone under 18 in your household claims there music vouchers which you get at school or college! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 It's also national music week if anybody is interested! I didn't know! And I'm a musician. What vouchers can you claim Martin? I haven't heard about those either. And I'd like some more CDs. DD1 wants Sibelius' 5th symphony and as an A-level music student I think she must be eligible for vouchers. Please tell me what to do Martin, nicely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 The Music department should know all about them or perhaps the office. You can get a singles voucher or a £1 off any other music voucher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamsin Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 For Chocolate Lovers Everywhere... If you've got melted chocolate all over your hands, you're eating it too slowly. Chocolate covered raisins, cherries, orange slices & strawberries all count as fruit, so eat as many as you want. The problem: How to get 2 pounds of chocolate home from the store in hot car. The solution: Eat it in the parking lot. Diet tip: Eat a chocolate bar before each meal. It'll take the edge off your appetite and you'll eat less. A nice box of chocolates can provide your total daily intake of calories in one place. Isn't that handy? If you can't eat all your chocolate, it will keep in the freezer. But if you can't eat all your chocolate, what's wrong with you? If calories are an issue, store your chocolate on top of the fridge. Calories are afraid of heights, and they will jump out of the chocolate to protect themselves. If I eat equal amounts of dark chocolate and white chocolate, is that a balanced diet? Don't they actually counteract each other? Money talks. Chocolate sings. Chocolate has many preservatives. Preservatives make you look younger. Q. Why is there no such organization as Chocoholics Anonymous? A. Because no one wants to quit If not for chocolate, there would be no need for control top pantyhose. An entire garment industry would be devastated. Put "eat chocolate" at the top of your list of things to do today. That way, at least you'll get one thing done.
