Rules of Chocolate
Wed Jul 04 2007

More from the discard pile/s:

Chocolate is a vegetable.  How, you ask?  Chocolate is derived from cacao beans.  Bean = vegetable.  Sugar is derived from either sugar CANE or sugar BEETS.  Both are plants, which places them in the vegetable category.  Thus, chocolate is a vegetable.

To go one step further, chocolate candy bars also contain milk, which is dairy.  So candy bars are a health food.

Chocolate covered raisins, cherries, orange slices and strawberries all count as fruit, so eat as many as you want.

If you have melted chocolate all over your hands, you're eating it too slowly.  The problem: How to get two pounds of chocolate home from the store in a hot car.  The solution: Eat it in the parking lot.

Diet tip: Eat a chocolate bar before each meal.  It'll take the edge off your appetite, and you'll eat less.

If calories are an issue, store your chocolate on the top of the fridge.  Calories are afraid of heights, and they will jump out of the chocolate to protect themselves.

If I eat equal amounts of dark chocolate and white chocolate, is that a balanced diet?  Don't they actually counteract each other?

Money talks.  Chocolate sings.  Beautifully.

Chocolate has many preservatives.  Preservatives make you look younger.  Therefore, you need to eat more chocolate.

Put "eat chocolate" at the top of your list of things to do today.  That way, at least you'll get one thing done.

A nice box of chocolates can provide your total daily intake of calories in one place.  Now, isn't that handy?

If you can't eat all your chocolate, it will keep in the freezer. But if you can't eat all your chocolate, what's wrong with you???!!!

Bless the day

    LOL! Oh yes, I can wholeheartedly agree with each and every rule. Whoever said "Death before Chocolate!" was spot on!

    Have a great day!

    #3 spent the day dog-sitting so Stormy wasn't cooped in her crate all day long, and watching a Teenaged Mutant Ninja Turtles marathon.

    I think he had more fun that the rest of us except #1!

    LOL! Oh mercy! Did you make it all up, or did you compile all the good stuff you read about chocolate! You're a caution, Chaya, you really are. I think you're a bad influence on your granddaughters, LOL ;o) You'll have us all having chocolate pizza for lunch, chocolate souffle for tea and chocolate chip pancakes with chocolate syrup for dinner.

    Love,
    E.L.

    RYC: I have her in the cage because I'm supposed to keep her from jumping and she refuses to not do that out in the house, bounding from one piece of furniture to another and up on the entertainment center. In the cage she won't pull her stitches unless she does it with her teeth and she shows no inclination to do that.
