So much ado about chocolate...

house_cat — Sun, 14 Feb 2016 15:54:13 GMT

.. am I the only one who is turned off by all the chocolate talk and recipes around Valentine's Day?

I enjoy a bit of it every now and then, but for the most part it's very easy for me to step away from the chocolate. I certainly don't associate it with love and romance.

I associate mac and cheese with kiddie food--but that's all people want now it seems.

I've never been big on chocolate candy, it's just too sweet for me, but I like chocolate desserts.

DH LOVES chocolate, especially dark chocolate!

Uh oh, HC, this is one thing we disagree on. In my book, if there's no chocolate, it ain't dessert!

I LOVE good chocolate (not the kind you buy at the check out in the grocery store). Especially dark chocolate.

Macaroni and cheese I think is disgusting.

I never get tired of hearing about chocolate, finding chocolate recipes, making chocolate desserts/candies, eating chocolate. It's a subject that just never bores me.

No offense but If my house would have been built with chocolate I'd be homeless. It should be reclassified to Protein.

Chocolate is known as an aphrodisiac.

It's o.k. if you're not big on it. Not everyone cares for it.

I can go for long periods of time without thinking about it, or even having any of it. When I was younger, I wasn't like that.

I'm not sure where the mac and cheese came into this thread, but okey doke... I don't care much for that, either.

I just wonder why Valentine's Day became Chocolate Day.

Actually chocolate makes me sneeze (which comes in handy around Halloween). I do ok with dark chocolate but forget about eating every day candy bars . . . so much for romance . . .
