Loreen Bliss.....on chocolate
I must admit I have become quite spoiled.
OK, I know I've said not to focus on the candy thing at Easter, but you must admit it has become a part of Easter too. So...... I have forgotten how crappy chocolate Easter Bunnys are!
I have become quite spoiled. I hate American chocolate. Swiss chocolate... now that's good chocolate! We've even eaten chocolate straight from Germany and have never been the same since! Lindt, Monarc, Milka, and more have become favorites. I'd rather have a little bit of good chocolate than a lot of junk! Quality is everything. You can buy Lindt here. (Lindor truffles are great.) Toblerone is good too! Belgian chocolate is good too. Cheap chocolate just isn't worth it anymore. (OK, I still like M&M's)
Here is a bit of trivia for you about the origin of German's Chocolate and Chocolate cake (note German's not German!): (OK, I give Americans credit here. Right in Massachusetts.)
Dorchester, Massachusetts - Chocolate!
GERMAN CHOCOLATE:
Did you know?...... German chocolate, and German chocolate cake -- actually that is incorrect, it is German's Chocolate and German's Chocolate cake, the man who developed this chocolate was a Mr. German -- it has nothing to do with Germany.

Enjoy your chocolate!
(Oh, yeah, Symphony is American - Hersey's in fact... So I know we can make decent chocolate! Ghirrardelli is called "America's Premium Chocolate"..... but they are nothing like Lindt though, so we are still behind.)
What's your favorite kind of chocolate?

You know your right! When Nate came home from his mission in Germany and brought chocolate home; he gave some to Andy, and Andy let us try it. It is soo much better than "cheap" chocolate! I like some chocolate, but not as much.
Kind of spoils it for you, doesn't it? We need to make a trip to Germany to "stock up"!!!!
Yeah, it does spoil it for ya, but that is kind of a good thing, because now I don't eat very much chocolate!!! Going to Germany would be FUN, but I don't think you could "stock up" enough to last you forever!:)
