The Rules of Chocolate

Posted : 4/10/2007 6:07:32 PM

Ø      If you get melted chocolate all over your hands, you're eating it too slowly.
Ø      Chocolate covered raisins, cherries, orange slices and strawberries all count as fruit, so eat as many as you want.
Ø      The problem: How to get two pounds of chocolate home from the store in a hot car. The solution: Eat it in the parking lot.
Ø      Diet tip: Eat a chocolate bar before each meal. It'll take the edge off your appetite and you'll eat less.
Ø      A nice box of chocolates can provide your total daily intake of calories in one place. Isn't that handy?
Ø      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?
Ø      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.
Ø      Money talks. Chocolate sings.
Ø      Chocolate has many preservatives. Preservatives make you look younger.
Ø      Why is there no such organization as Chocoholics Anonymous? Because no one wants to quit.
Ø      Put eat chocolate at the top of your list of things to do today. That way, at least you'll get one thing done.

Awesome. And so fitting, right after Easter.

I eyeballed the little Lindt chocolate bunnies at Walmart, last week. I bet they don't even have them, anymore. The dark chocolate ones looked super yummy[

Godiva is okay...but as with beer...any truly good chocolate comes from Europe.

That's true.... You can't beat europe for chocolate.

Those rules made me smile, I have a lot of sisters and they are all bigger choco fiends than me, I knew they would appreciate them.

We have this really cool little shop round here, its just in a little alleyway and its TINY and most of it is taken up by the glass counter with all these handmade chocolates. They are so rich and delicious, you can't eat more than one or two and then you have to stop. They are LUSH. I love it in there. The smell is divine. And whenever I am stuck for a gift for my mum or sisters.... guess where I go.

Ah! Now that's a set of rules that most definitely is NOT meant to be broken! As a choco-holic, I think I'll embroider those rules on the back of the pillow that's on our loveseat. The front of it says, "What? Chocolate isn't a vegetable?"

I brought some leftover dark chocolate Easter candy to work yesterday, and when one of my bosses took one, he was muttering half-heartedly, "I guess I have to try one of these" (he's on a diet). My co-worker said, "Don't worry, they're dark chocolate. It's good for you." He said, "Oh, I don't think it's good for me!" I said, "Well, put it this way--it's BETTER for you than a regular milk chocolate egg." With that, he grinned and proceeded to eat it happily!
