Chocolates anyone?

Lets talk chocolates.

What's your most favorite?

What's your least favorite?

I love See's Milk Chocolate Bordeaux with sprinkles... and during the Holidays, I've been known to chow down whole boxes of Queen Anne Dark Chocolate covered cherries.

My least favorite would be ? (I'll have to think about it)

My most favorite I no longer have access to. When we were staying in Holland (the Netherlands) for better part of a year, we ventured into Belgium on occasion
and found that the REAL chocolate is made there! It is so unbelievably delicious and more intense and smooth and dreamy compared to what we're use to here.
Their *bon bons* are made without any preservatives and must be eaten within a week! And, with us--we never made it out of the Leonidas chocolatier shop
with the box we purchased--and it IS expensive!!!

If any of our friends in Holland knew we were going to Belgium, they shoved money in our pockets to get them some ! It's no wonder they were so frantic to get it!

Now the worst chocolate? That's hard to say since any chocolate is better than no chocolate--unless it's some of those waxy tasteless varieties that I can't think
of the names of!

I just did a *search* and see that they have a branch in New York!! Oh my word!!! I wonder if it's the same quality being in *our* hands?? I might just have to find out!!!!

Oh my goodness. My greatest weakness. I don't think I ever met a milk chocolate I didn't like. We have several little chocolate shops in the area that are a fabulous indulgence. Chocolate covered fruits and fruit creams--yummmmmmm, the best. But, NO coconut or coffee filling please!

GardenPooter, I haven't seen any seeds available, but several companies sell the plant or tuberous roots, such as Territorial and Naturehills, though both of their websites say that it's sold out for 2008. My search did pull up a place called Plant Safari that had it in stock, at a price of $8.00 for a 3" pot! According to the link below, it really does smell like chocolate. I LOVE the color! This one is definitely going on MY wishlist! Bonnie Here is a link that might be useful: Chocolate Cosmos

Chocolate Cherry, anyone?
Q
Comments (4)
Just taste testing at farmer's markets I preferred Black Cherry first, Brown Berry second, then Chocolate Cherry. They're all good, but with limited space I think I'm going to pass on Chocolate Cherry for one or both of the others. I do like hearing how big it got though. I'm using tall cherry plants for shade. :)

Valspar 'Chocolate' anyone?

We are in the process of re-painting several rooms. I took an ancient color sample (we wanted the same color) that didn't have a store ID on the back to Lowes & asked if it was theirs. The guy punched the # on the swatch into the computer & said that "yes", it was an old one of theirs. We had him mix the color in Valspar flat. We LOVE this paint! The color was spot on but much more saturated. Granted... the old paint was very faded... but we Loved the richness of our original shade in this formula. No priming needed! We bought basic white trim paint in a semi-gloss and this is my new favorite trim paint. Goes on thick and smooth although it is tough to keep a wet edge. Ten minutes later and the paint has smoothed out into a beautiful almost oil type finish. I will have to do 2 coats on all the trim just 'cause the difference between the old and the new is sooooooo different. DH actually used the wall paint and had nothing but great things to say about the coverage and handling. We were able to use just one coat. All paints/shades have different amounts of pigments added to them. Often times the more expensive ones have more pigment (but not always). Machines also can be off in the calibration. It can also be really hard to compare a small swatch on a paint card to your actual wall. The surface texture, the rate the wall absorbs, etc.... can all affect the color you choose. I don't mean to disclaim any problems folks have had w/ certain products... but I have been very happy w/ Valspar paint and will buy and use it again!

I love dark chocolate! Hmmmm. We have a few local shops that have really good chocolates, expensive but worth it. Janet...I agree belgium chocolates are to die for!

Not a big fan of milk chocolate. I can't stand Hershey bars. My husband loves just the plain ones and I cringe just watching him eat them.
