I, MAXINE , being of sound mind and body, do not wish to be kept alive indefinitely by artificial means.

Glass of wine chocolate Margarita Martini straight up Cold Beer scotch on the rocks Chicken fried steak cream gravy chocolate Mexican food chocolate French fries chocolate Pizza chocolate ice cream cup of tea chocolate Chocolate *** Chocolate

I am right there with you with a few modifications:
Bailey's Irish Creme on the rocks (note the chocolate flavored booze here?) chocolate candy (Dove milk or dark chocolate preferred) Chicken fried steak (I do believe I was a Southern belle in my first life) cream gravy (where are the bisquits?) mashed potatoes (need something with that chicken fried steak, right?) chocolate chip cookies (chewy variety please) Mexican food chocolate silk pie French fried onion rings chocolate milk spaghetti HOT chocolate ice cream (surprize ... my favorite is VANILLA) chocolate dusting (on my non-fat latte please) cup of tea (and of course it must be SWEET) chocolate chips (straight from the bag) and of course - - - CHOCOLATE !!!!

I hear ya!!!!!!!!!
FBmom,.....I am drooling!!! ( chocolate chips right out of the bag,....now that makes a good woman proud!!!)
I'll take that whole concept one step further: Ever taken a spoon full of nestle morsels and actually dipped the spoon into the jar of creamy peanut butter??? I swear,...the heavens open up and sing HALLELUJAH on a pms-ie day! Then for a kicker, throw in a bag of crunchie extra salty potato chips,..the kind with the skin still on them,..and well to be honest,..it quite possibly better than,____.

Lafmom - Can you just order a bag of Ma Pullman's candy for us ladies to try? Thank you 'mam!
SSM - Chips and peanut butter I can do very easily - just not sure about the extra salty potato chips!! Of course, I do know that being the stress of being an 08 mom can lead to all kinds of coping skills!!
On another note, my day was made today - first day of school in Texas - on my morning walk - I just passed a little boy wearing a batman cape riding his bike to school this morning! That cape blowing in the wind just made my day!!
Have a good one ladies!!

First day of school. I had forgotten how long the line is to drop your kids off until this morning. I feel sorry for my son's school, they were not handing out schedules until this morning. That is a whole lot of kids not knowing where they were going this morning.
The real reason for this post: Salt & Vinegar Potato Chips the saltier the better.

I have never told ANYONE this story. Promise to keep it confidential?
Once upon a time, I lived in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, home of Ambrosia (Blommer's) Chocolate. They actually make the CHOCOLATE and then sell it to candy companies. Anyway, driving in one direction on I-94, one would get a whiff of Miller Brewing Company, and in another direction was the tantalizing chocolate from Ambrosia. I was on a sales call very near Ambrosia and decided to stop in their OUTLET STORE. Bought pounds of chocolate. Duh. Just blocks of chocolate to bake with....It was a hot day. I forgot that I should have gone into Ambrosia AFTER I made my sales call. I think the excitement was overwhelming.
When I got back into my car, I smelled the delicious aroma of melted chocolate. Ohmigod, my delicious purchase was RUINED!!! I just had to taste it with my finger to see if it would be ok. Couldn't quite tell if it was acceptable or not. Had to do it again. And again. By now, I was home. I raced into my apartment--I didn't want the melted chocolate to turn bad. I rummaged through my cabinets and found raisins! And peanuts! And almonds! And peanut butter! And a clean spoon!
I ate it all. It was heaven. Melted chocolate with very healthful additives. By the spoonful. But afterwards, I felt like the opposite place.
Oink.

It's my favorite candy in the world! "Pull Candy" is a handmade candy that is popular around this area and some smaller candy makers make it. Pull candy in general is ok, but one brand "Ma Blakemans" which is made in Lancaster KY is like melting heaven in your mouth! It's creamy sugar basically.
Curveball07 - I'd be happy to send ya some anytime! Probably best to wait for the temp to drop a bit though! BTW, your story of that little boy on a bike is almost identical to an experience I had right after taking my son to college for the first time. I smiled all the way to work after seeing this little white haired about 4 yr old boy on his bike with mom.... the years go by so fast. Ma Blakeman's has been my coping mechanism many times!

LOL I never dreamed that they would have a website or I would have provided the link! This is a tiny operation in Lancaster, KY - a one stop light or so kinda town. Oh, this techno world we live in... even has small town America included!
Thanks for sharing that Gunnersmom!

I thought I was the only one who did the chocolate chips and peanut butter thing. So happy to know that I am not alone ... and I can understand the salty chaser ...
Gotta stop ... I am getting hungry and have no chocolate chips in the house. May just have to settle for straight peanut butter on my toast.

How much chocolate did you "rescue"? Reading your story (especially how you felt afterwards), I can almost believe there could be such a thing as "too much chocolate"! Nawww, that's not possible!

I think when someone Googles images for hershey kisses, his should be the first picture you see. Actually, he takes after my family ... well, me to be exact ... with that belly (that's what you get with prednisone !!!) ... and I wish I could claim him but I just found him on the internet. Way way too cute, heh?
