O.......M.........G!!!! Chocolate whores hear me roar!

[Dover]

Okay, I'm a chocolate whore...

No it's worse than that.

I'm now a Starbucks Chantico slut.
You remember that scene in the movie Chocolat where Juliette Binoche made a cup of hot chocolate for Johnny Depp that made you drool with longing (and not for Depp either)? Well Starbucks has done it...made that dense rich chocolate drink that will turn good girls into chocolate slaves.

I wish I hadn't stolen those few sips from my friend's cup....because now that's all I can think about. She had to pry my fingers off the cup to get it back!

Oh I'm so ashamed...

HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLP!

[RevolutionaryActs]

1. OMG! Why was I not informed of this? I would have gotten one today!

Now I WANT ONE! ;(

2. Oh you just had to start the chocolate thing...

you talking about chocolate made me decide to reach for the hershey bar I thought I had buried on my desk somewhere. But it's gone! guess some other chocolate nut in the house got to it before me.

3. At the risk of being crucified, what is it with girls and chocolate?

I know it tastes quite nice, but more than a piece or two and your teeth hurt. Unless it's the nice bitter 75%+ cocoa stuff. But in small quantities.

[Dover]

4. Well I don't want to turn this into a "sex thread" and get banned....!

So just substitute the word chocolate for all those "other words" and you might begin to understand just how much a girl has gotta have it.

Why, you ask? Well why is the sky blue? Why does the Moon effect the tides? No accounting for love or chocolate.

[Taxloss]

10. OK.

<steps away from the chocolate.>

[Dover]

12. .......or you could slather yourself with melted chocolate and witness

this force of nature first hand. We won't bite...but that's all I can promise.

[Taxloss]

13. No sex threads!

I'm engaged to be married.

Besides, I value my life. <whimpers>

[Dover]

14. Well alright then..........but you should be taking notes!

[Taxloss]

15. Scribble, scribble.

What I'm writing is "Shopping list: Chocolate spread ..."

But we really must stop.

[Dover]

16. Phew.........well I'm exhausted. Was it good for you?

Gotta cigarette?

[Taxloss]

17. It was indescribable. And I say that most sincerely.

As for a ciggie, I pleased to say I quit a month ago! :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

6. Chocolate raises the serotonin levels in your brain.

This is particularly helpful during "that time of the month" when hormone surges can cause headaches, crankiness, and a generally feeling of being out of sorts. Ask how many women crave chocolate during what is often called "PMS week."

5. Try Valrhorna's Celaya

Or make your own.
Starbuck's doesn't stand a chance.

[Dover]

11. Haven't ever heard of it. Is it available in the States?

Okay, American chocolates can't compete with European brands...or South American, or any other foreign brands...but, as the saying goes...."love the one you're with".

Not sure what brand Starbucks uses, but it is obviously no ordinary American chocolate.

7. Williams-Sonoma hot chocolate is absolutely scrumptious.

[tk2kewl]

8. NYC chocolate lovers who have not been there must go to

Jacques Torres on Water St. in Brooklyn. You will thank me.
