I don’t fly often, but now I know what airline I want to go on when I do. Midwest Airlines bakes chocolate chip cookies onboard and serves them to their passengers. Just imagine the aroma their planes must have. It’d be quite a change from that other unmentionable odor on the buses I’ve travelled on. […]
I’m not sure if this will come as a surprise to anyone or not. Market research company 50Plus Research has release their results from a survey about chocolate, sex, and reading. This survey was answered by baby boomers and seniors between the ages of 45 and 80. The survey asked over 500 of them what […]
There’s no point buying icing in a tin when it is so quick and easy to make yourself. Besides, this way you get to lick the beaters.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 cups icing sugar
1/3 cup cocoa powder
2 tsp vanilla
2 Tbsp milk
1 cup icing sugar
1 Tbsp milk
In a medium bowl, cream the butter, 2 cups icing sugar, […]
Once in a while you have a chocolate experience that is simply enchanting. Blogger Javi Grillo-Marxuach from radio free javi obviously had one of those experiences with hot chocolate (called Rumplemeyer’s Chocolat Africain) from Angelina on the Rue Rivoli in Paris. His descriptions sound slightly erotic, and as one reader put it “That review was […]
For some reason, many people think cocoa beans are small beans that grow on a bush. While at a get-together with friends recently, I asked them to describe the cocoa plant (really, it was a fun get-together, I didn’t quiz them the whole time). They all described a plant similar to a coffee plant. Instead, […]
Not my idea of a good combination. This movie, which opens in theatres Friday, January 26, 2007, is a suspense/thriller about a teenage female werewolf. Turns out it doesn’t have much to do with chocolate. Some accounts I’ve read say that the chocolate is simply a metaphor for humanity as the lead in this story […]
As a kid visiting my grandparents there was one thing we could always count on. They would have a box of chocolate pudding cake mix in the cupboard ready for us to make and devour. Now I don’t know if “they” even still sell boxes of chocolate pudding cake mix. However, my tastes have matured […]
This game is just too cool. Unfortunately, if you don’t live in the UK, you’ll have to come up with your own version. This company, called Gourmet Games, will deliver the game to anywhere in the UK. This would be a great way to spice up a boring old dinner party, or even a morning […]
It appears the cereal producers aren’t listening to my opinion. A couple of months ago I posted my thoughts about chocolate flavoured cereal, basically how much I didn’t like it. The latest news is that two more of the big cereal companies are coming out with chocolate versions of their cereals this year.
Quaker has come […]
I’m not usually interested in vacationing in any urban area. To me the ultimate holiday getaway is somewhere quiet and off the beaten track, maybe with a beach. However, I do think a trip to Hershey, Pennsylvania would be a very interesting experience.
This is not just a town with a chocolate factory. The whole place […]
