What a way to end the day....

Today, nothing really special happened. I had a weird dream involving a bunch of people wanting to shoot each other and me freaking out. At the end, everyone made up at the end and decided to go to "the Mon-tan". Apparently, they didn't know how to pronounce "Montana". It was an odd, odd dream. I went to work as well but nothing particularly out of the ordinary happened. When I got home though, I found that my sister had bought vanilla ice cream. She bought more strawberries on Sunday so I was able to smoosh them up and put them on the ice cream. It is one of my favourite things ever. It's much more enjoyable for me than strawberry ice cream from the store. We mooshed some strawberries with the chocolate ice cream we had last week but that wasn't quite as enjoyable; possibly because I am not a huge fan of chocolate and fruit together (aside from fondue, and chocolate/banana combinations). So today's favourite thing is eating fresh strawberries on vanilla ice cream.

It should be it's own food group...

Ahh..chocolate..what would I do without you? Tonight, my sister really wanted those no-bake chocolate cookies - you know with the oatmeal. If you don't know what I am talking about, all you really need to know is that they are REALLY good. And addictive. She tried hinting at me to make them but I......didn't, so she made them herself. They were really good, as usual. Made even better by the fact that I did not in fact have to make them myself. Thanks Colette!!! So today's favourite thing is the chocolate oatmeal no-bake cookies..you know what I am talking about. They probably have a name but I honestly don't know what it is.

Cool treats

Today, my sister and I went to Dairy Queen. We were going to go on yesterday in celebration of her birthday (Happy Birthday, Colette!), but after supper we were just too full and we wanted to actually be able to enjoy the DQ We both tried the new Midnight Truffle Blizzard which was quite good. It has three of the things I like the most in the world: chocolate, more chocolate and ice cream. I usually get the Chocolate Extreme blizzard when I go to Dairy Queen, but decided to try the new one this time. Today's favourite things is Blizzards from Dairy Queen.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Today, at work, I decided to get a chocolate milkshake during my break. I try not to get stuff from work too often because, well, it's a fast food place and not even a healthy fast food place, at that. But today I felt like getting a chocolate milkshake and man it was good. Probably that extra tasty addition to the normal goodness of the chocolate milkshake was the fact that, for some strange reason that I don't quite understand, it was comped out because apparently I met my goal or something. I have no idea what that means and I was willing to pay for it - even full price if necessary (employees normally get meals at half price) - but it was cool that I didn't have to. I guess there are benefits to working at fast food places after all. Who would've thought?

Only monkeys eat bananas!

I don't eat bananas that often, but for the past few days after getting home from work, I just really want some fruit, and they are what is handy. I especially like them for chocolate fondue. Bananas and chocolate go so well together. But we all know how much I like chocolate so that probably isn't much of a surprise.

C is for cookie, that's good enough for me.

My sister is a Sparks leader. In the fall, her Spark group sold the Girl Guide Chocolate Mint cookies. She bought a number of boxes. Somehow, we only had one left (Funny thing that......)Today she opened it. It didn't last long. I'm not saying they are gone yet, but it's only a matter of time. That's what breakfast is for, provided she doesn't beat me to them. They changed the recipe a few years ago, but they are still really addictive. I can't just eat one. (I don't often try to only eat one but that's beside the point.) I enjoy the spring Chocolate and Vanilla Sandwich cookies but I still enjoy the Mint ones much more.

I will never be okay again.

My sister has a blog as well where she does a new thing a day. Today's new thing was making chocolate covered cake balls. They were very good. She explains how to do it on her blog. I don't know what I was expecting when she told me she had to crumble the cake but I clearly was not expecting her to just grab a handful of cake and start mushing it up. It was the weirdest thing I have ever seen (well, maybe not the weirdest). I think I was expecting her to crumble the cake up in a more civilised manner. She just dove right in. I ending up breaking down into hysterical laughter for about ten minutes. She seemed concerned for me and I told her I would never be okay again after what she did to that cake. I guess if she had crumbled it in a more civilized way the end result would have been the same but I may not have been as traumatized. In the end, the dessert was good (because chocolate is good) and I am less traumatized.

I'll eat anything as long as it's chocolate.

Mm mm. Chocolate. I am horribly addicted to chocolate. However, I do not suffer from this addiction; I enjoy it thoroughly. Generally when I say I enjoy chocolate, it is the type that is easy to eat like chocolate bars, chocolate syrup (for ice cream), chocolate milk, chocolate ice cream, chocolate extreme blizzards, chocolate sundaes, chocolate chips, chocolate chip cookies........Where was I? The chocolate I ate today was the complete opposite of easy to eat. It was still good but you needed to chip away at it. You see, my sister made chocolate truffles that had this chocolaty creamy filling and she had way to much so she put it in the fridge. It got very hard. Now a smart person would wait for it to thaw or put it in the microwave before they attempted to eat it, but to put it simply, I did not. Stabbing the poor chocolate with my spoon somehow seemed like the thing to do instead. At this rate the chocolate in the container will last until 2010, but at least I won't eat large amounts at a time. So it's a win-win...win situation.
