"Even the English king, Charles 11 tried to get rid of the chocolate houses for being a place where people met to discuss politics over hot cocoa beverages..."

heroin doesn't make your ass fat,does it?

I'm going to use that defense when my kids discover how much of their Halloween candy is missing...

I just had a friend promise to bring me chocolate from Europe. They can not get out here fast enough....... lol

Hooters: More addictive than chocolate.

That'd be like stealing from myself - which is way to easy. Most times I'd probably catch myself...

(makes note in stalker database about Maria and chocolate)

My mom is from Germany.
When I was a kid (here in the USA) my aunt used to send her packages.......she sent lots of GOOD chocolate. Nothing like the waxy brown stuff that is usually purchased here......

Yep, I was a little German-American fatso........lol

Warm chocolate spread all over .....
Yikes

I wanna go home now and I'll invite all the nurses to join me..

You can always sit down. hahahaha

Swiss chocolate is most famous. Belgian praline chocolate too. Holland makes good candy and the USA makes good mashmallow.
