Mine's semi-sweet, but sometimes I mix it with almond milk... mmm... chocolate. I think we can all agree that it's all* good.
(*Except if it has cow's milk in it. Then ew.)
Funny. Great to see you here.In this order:
1. Dark (bitter sweet)
2. Semi-sweet
3. Milk
4. White
5. All of the above
6. Carob (Any port in a storm, right?)

Dark, dark, dark, dark, dark.
What the hell is semi-sweet? Even properly dark and bitter chocolate - 70% cocoa or more - is a little sweet.

must be an americanism. ?
Milk for me. Dark is too concentrated a taste.
Should ask non-Americans, too, do you find the taste of Hershey's to be similar to that of vomit? I've heard that from Europeans before. I was raised on it so I don't.
I like Ghirardelli's best I think, of all the brands. I used to go to the factory and buy mixed bars in huge boxes to send for gifts, back before you could get it just anywhere.
Now off to write

Hey Knightrunnermat!
I also like coffee. I like my coffee like I like my chocolate - dark and sweet!
My hands hurt - been sewing off and on all day. Also went and sprayed the weeds that have popped up all over my garden. Weeds is nasty!

I love coffee. I worked in coffee shops for years before I started working in a law office. I know it's an addiction at this point, but it is so good!

I think that's going more than a little too far! I'd say it tastes "sickly" to me, but not actually of sick. Mainly it tastes far too sugary-sweet for me, but then Dairy Milk is like our default choc and I understand that's a proper delicacy to some Americans (at least the ones I met as students).

See, I find Hersheys to be a bit tasteless, rather than sweet. Dairy Milk to me is much sweeter and sickly. But then I have a real aversion to Dairy Milk, after my folks took me to the Cadbury's factory when I was little, but to get in we had to walk right round the whole place, with that very distinct 'Dairy Milk' smell all round the place, so by the time we got to the tour, the smell just made me sick and I haven't been able to touch Dairy Milk since, save in real chocolate emergencies. I prefer Galaxy (and just finished off a Galaxy Ripple, in fact. For breakfast. And I don't care.)
I've never had Hersheys.
Zelenka I loved the Cadbury's factory! Love Cadbury's Bournville. I find Galaxy too sweet.
Spent most, if not all of today doing more sewing and the end is now in sight. Eight wall plaques to sell at the craft fair on Saturday. All I have to do now is iron the patchwork pillows, clean the picture frames, put the sewing chests together and collapse. O, and clean the table I am going to use, find its' legs and, well, loads of other stuff.

I'm in the re-write/edit stage of a conspiracy-theory type thriller.... I've been working on this book for a long while (I think ya'wl can relate!)
Now I have another storyline, another novel wanting to take over... I gotta get the conspiracy book finished soon, so I can let the next book project take over!
As far as chocolate....I like white chocolate...though I'm told it's actually not chocolate... but who cares about technicalities when you're indulging in your favorite treat!

I would love to read your novel. Me too! I love chocolate, what is your type of chocolate?
John! Personally, I never got white chocolate, but to each his own. More of the "real" kind for the rest of us.

I just remembered I have a jar of white chocolate spread that I haven't really got into yet. Plus a few more of the cheese-with-chocolate tubs. We actually get them here as well but rather than Cadbury's, it's Milka they use. Which is better for me. (Yeah, up at nearly 1am because I had a chocolate craving...)

You guys might find this funny on Janet Reid's blog on editing marks.
OK, that was the good news.
Sooooo my letters to the mayor and supervisor on the whole tombstones found in the gully was read at the village board meeting. The village passed my letter on to their attorney. Don't know what the town thinks yet, but the village says they have no jurisdiction in the outlet where the rest of the stones are & the cemeteries are the towns area. I figure good, so I can ignore them.
The asbestos came off the house this week that the library is tearing down for the parking lot. No one from EPA or OSHA came despite being told they we're not doing it safely. And the house was torn down today, even though everyone was told tomorrow. So no protestors out there today. The 27th is the zoning meeting on the library asking for their parking lot. Cart before the horse and all.
So aside from the original library being built on a cemetery, the house they tore down (after doing some research) was a funeral home in the 1930. It explains the crematorium that was in the cellar. Course that was hauled away I heard, scrap metal. So was the spiral staircase, marble fireplace mantel etc etc
Bad karma all the way around.
So I think the lot will go in, but they better not go over the area where the old cemetery was. I'm really confident if they start pulling out bushes something will come up.
How is everyone else??

Ok, Question Kids.... What is the Ultimate Chocolate Spread? I know the answer but I'll wait to hear what you guys have to say.
Cadbury's Bournville is the Ultimate Chocolate Spread! You put some in your mouth and as it melts it spreads its' gloriousness to your taste buds. So now you know!
