Yes, like Bimbimbie! What if I am allergic and it will kill me? You don't want me to die? Huh?! Huh?! ...I am not allergic but just wanted to argue with you. Okay, okay. Chocolate is not good for a day of feasting not a day of fasting. Save mine for tomorrow and please serve it with a cup of coffee.
ReplyDeleteDelighted I'm sure . .you watch out for those snakes in the grass!
ReplyDeleteActually Ropi, I'm not a big chocalaholic either but sometimes just get a 'craving'. God I hated that commercial for Milka!
Pleasure GM . .and it was . .and I am!

Thank you so much. I never turn down an offer of chocolate.
ReplyDeleteMy mother, during her seige with Alzheimer's, had food obsessions. She would not eat fats or proteins because she believed them to be unhealthy. However, in her world, chocolate was one of the four food groups. Thanks.
ReplyDeletemmmmm thankyou
ReplyDeletevirtual choc enjoyment will be followed shortly by physical choc enjoyment
They look delicious Baino. Can I have one? Make it two.:)
ReplyDeletehey! I wouldn't say I've quit but I haven't fealt like writing.. or something. But have a chocolate filled Easter :). Say.. did you ever get my "letter" (it was actually a really long comment on some post...)
ReplyDeleteSorry kj, not sure what you mean?
ReplyDeleteRibbon I haven't forgotten, I have about 4 tags that I need to address. Maybe Monday which will be recovery day after a big weekend!
I know Joe, I'm just a ball of moosh.
Same to you Califo. (We shorten everything and add an 'o')
Fair enough Ces. Moratorium . . just for now. You have a great break!
No worries Mel. You've got me searching out recyclables for a Christmas Garland already!
You're very welcome River . . have I told you a few thousand times that YOU SHOULD BLOG!
Ronda my daughter is convinced that chocolate is a food group and is expert in cooking anything chocky . .
Lettuce, go for it! I'm having mine melted so I can dip strawbs in it!
Bjornik yes if you tell me the secret of the hands behind the artwork! Are your chess pieces sculpture? Please, it's killing me!
Hello my little Finnish friend. I'm sure I did Ebs. Glad you're alive and well, you know I get tetchy when bloggers go missing! You take care sweetie and Hyvää Pääsiäistä Just check in now and then so I know you're alive, well and happy! Ropi and I miss you!
I don't know, every time I check your blog, there're already a zillion comments. Ah well, better late than never. Happy Easter. Those chocs look delicious. My American visitors enthuse about Godiva chocolates, which I've never tried.
ReplyDeletei got your comment this morning just fine. you're not stuck as far as i can see.
ReplyDeletemy thursday 13 had to correct the the whippersnapper as to the origin of 'f' on the blogs. but you know sometimes things can take on a life of their own.
to be continued....
(devious smile by kj)
Wow that's soooo pretty. I'll be expecting the recipe in my inbox very shortly please! Happy Easter. I'm on my third cream egg and feeling slightly sick. :)
ReplyDeleteNo worries........
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.
best wishes Ribbon
Nick my mum used to bang on about Godiva, I think it's Belgian chocky.
ReplyDeleteAh kj . . I know what you mean now. No crown necessary, I am happy to share the throne!
EM . this is me you're talking to! Recipe? Melt chocolate, add nuts, cool on foil, stack and cement with a little more melted chocolate, sprinkle with icing sugar . .I am after all a simple soul.
You too Ribbon . .shaping up just fine so far!
Godiva? Was she not the lassie that rode around Coventry in the nip?
ReplyDeleteI was taking a break sorta too, or I am just being lazy here. I luvs chocolate and I even got me a little teddy bear to tell me this.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, I enjoy these visits here.
God bless.
Stinky B.O. admirer, nonetheless my friend and one who awes me now and then, therefore in all fairness, I recognize thee. The Easter Bunny has something for you on my blog.
