Gravity working overtime at my house that morning? More muscle mass that's it. I've gained more <i>muscle</i> mass. Yup.<br />
<br />
Of course I'm sure it has absolutely nothing to do with the amount of <i>this</i> (see below) that I consumed over the weekend....No, no connection there AT ALL I'm sure....<br />

<br />
I just bought a packet at the Supermarket yesterday even though I have a couple of "crops" growing in the garden - just not fast enough. I <i>needed</i> to have some.<br />
<br />

</div>I counted them before even opening the packet. Eight. <i>Only</i> eight?! I could finish eight in one sitting. By <i>myself</i>. Radishes how I have missed you....Anahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06538653537327210060noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953364800176178794.post-11171407826162608762010-07-16T18:59:00.000-07:002010-07-16T19:03:03.777-07:00REGRET.....syI know, I know - there's an actual site <i>called</i> Regretsy - which is actually quite entertaining in a sometimes amusing type of way, but which I personally feel I can't really fully endorse because of some of the subject matter that they choose to include.<br />
Anyway.<br />
When <i>I</i> think Regret-sy I'm thinking something AMAZING from Etsy that I procrastinated and second guessed myself about getting and subsequently.....missed out on *sulk*.<br />
<br />
Like this <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/15263278/parrots-novelty-print-vintage-70s">shirt</a>. Isn't it AWESOME?!<br />

In my books a perfect Ice Chocolate should not degrade itself with the following:<br />
<div>* Ice</div><div>* Unsweetened whipped cream</div><div>* Trim milk</div><div>* flavoured ice cream</div><div>* HALF a cup of unsweetened whipped cream</div><div>* drinking chocolate (powder)</div><div><br />
</div><div>I shall briefly address each of these bullet points -</div><div><b>Ice</b> - WHY?? Do not be fooled into thinking that the name of this sumptuous beverage justifies the use of ice - oh no no! <i>Ice</i> Chocolate is named thus because of the <i>Ice </i>cream in it - NOT Ice. Bleechhh.</div><div><br />
</div><div><b>Unsweetened whipped cream</b> - if you're going to indulge in whipped cream <i>why</i> not include sugar?? There's just no rhyme or reason to it.</div><div><br />
</div><div><b>Trim milk</b> - why, when you can have FULL?</div><div><br />
</div><div><b>Flavoured ice cream</b> - flavoured ice cream is not a <i>total </i> no-no - it's just that plain ice cream - Vanilla, Hokey Pokey, even Cookies'n'Cream - seem to soak in the flavour of this chilly chocolatey "nectar" all that much better. In short - flavours can be distracting.</div><div><br />
</div><div><b>HALF a cup of unsweetened whipped cream</b> - I recently ordered an ice chocolate at a restaurant and had to trudge seemingly endlessly through at LEAST half a cup of this SLOP before I finally tasted any hint of chocolatey drink. It was NOT pretty.</div><div><br />
</div><div><b>Drinking Chocolate (powder)</b> - I like mine to be made with cocoa and sugar - why? cos I like mine to have a definite chocolate taste. I like it to have that bitter sweet cocoa-chocolatey TANG.<br />
<br />
And what exactly does this perfect-o Ice Chocolate Drink look like? Glad you asked.<br />
