“
      Evil #&%!$!!     LOL

Check the size of those monsters......   every chocolate bar should weigh thirty pounds!

”

“what is the best Choc to take with you backpacking during the Summer that will not melt in your pack?”

“Cold pressed chocolate with a high cocao content.

It will get soft, but wont melt away like milk chocolate.”

“chili - did you ever try chocolate with chili pepper?”

“like these guys - http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2002/07/0717_020717_TVchocolate.html

and plus modern man.”

“I've been meaning to try some of this.....   but sometimes all you can do is get a pack of M&Ms, tear off a corner and squeeze it out like toothpaste.”

“Sarge, yes, but I prefer it with mint.

Actually, 100% cacao dipped in guava juice and then rolled in maca powder is the best.”

“http://www.naked-chocolate.com/

This is a great book for chocolate fans. It completely changed the way I think about chocolate.”

“thank you chili.”

“I wonder how these would do?”

“chili - GREAT! So, I can ask you, where? what? What chili chocolate because I haven't seen it in stores. Why isn't it in Wal-Mart? j/k Seriously though, if I want to try it, what do you/others recommend?”

“Actually, I'm more interested in adding it to my own recipes, but need specifics on how to do that.”

“

Prowl around at fiery-foods.com

I see these in Gatlinburg at the hot sauce store some times.”

“Thanks. Speaking of, didn't you win a big chili contest? Have you ever posted your recipe?”

“Yes CHILI... I have herd so many times about your CHILI Recipe. How about making some at Trail Daze? I'll help with the cost.”

“yes I did. On some thread where chuckD was looking for a recipe.

I think he won a contest in Houston with it.”

“sweet! Thanks a lot.”

“You can bet there was a flurry of copy&pasting that day ----”

“Holy crap. That's rocket science. I'll wait for you to bring it on a trip.”

“There is an old saying among chili cooks...


...you can cook my recipe, but you can't cook my chili.

I don't think ChuckD knew about that part though...he did a good job with it.”

“Absolutely, but there's always other ideas that can jog your thinking and set you off in new directions.”

“After reading this thread, I'm hoping to go to bed and have dreams of chocolate-covered gear.”

“i must confess.....   i read a strange recipe once and started putting a tsp of Droste cocoa in my chili.”

“BEST CHOCOLATE EVER




(It's Swedish and they have different flavors)”

“

In coffee or hot chocolate.

Actually, that is not unusual.

Cincinnati chili has alspice and cinnamon in it also. I enjoy Skylines chili dogs when I am up there and my cousin can make a great pot of Cincy chili.

Eat it over spaghetti with chopped onion, and cheese.”

“You haven't lived until you've had my dear old Momma's Chocolate Gravy over hot homemade biscuits!”

“I love chocolate gravy. I havn't had it in years....my aunt used to call it Hokey..or something like that.”

“sumfin is wrong with y'all. Only thing sweet that belongs on a biscuit is MOLASSES!!!”

“Chocolate Gravy..... sounds deadly!

Yeah, sometimes I think that Cincinnati Chili is from some other planet   (especially when they start talkin' about rice).....   though optional garnishment consisting of shredded cheddar or Jarlsberg along with extra onion, sweet peppers and jalapeñas has been known to happen occasionally (even a dab of sour cream for those requesting a cool-down).

I haven't used water in chili in a decade or more.... I pour in a bottle or two of that Pilsner Urquell.   I tried it with Guinness once and it was tooooo bizarre.

”

“What?   no Sourwood Honey?

      or...... honeybutter?

”

“Never heard of either...”

“A Wiki Quickie re: monofloral honey.

Leave half a stick of butter out so it'll soften a little.   Mix with about half as much honey (ratio varies).....
BANG!   "honeybutter".

Apply to hot biscuits, toast, english muffins, etc.

”

“Scorchi...you haven't ever heard of sourwood honey???

Bless your little heart!”

“No :( But you can send me some!”

“well girlfriend email me your address and I will get it in the mail to you :-)”

“I think sourwood is regional to Southern Appalachia.”

“Oh...really? I swear my little world is so small...I just assume that everyone enjoys the pleasures we enjoy here.”

“Mmmm, sourwood honey...I think I have a few quarts around here! One of my favorites though is Tupelo honey, from Florida. THe absolute BESTEST honey in the world though comes from Greek fir trees. That stuff is so incredible. Mellow, yet incredibly complex and layered, not to mention almost solid and not runny.

On the flipside, HPM discovered he hates chocolate chip (real chopped chocolate by the way) pancakes.”

“Ever since this damn thread came up, I've been craving Marabou (Swedish chocolate). Now I have my friend who lives in Stockholm sending me out a package on Tuesday - of nothing but Marabou! Time to get fat :(”

“LOL”

“I hex you, Tilty!”

      Geodesic-like?

“Nope... as in curse-like!”
