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.

The cocoa bean is the best vegetable I've ever tasted...................

Love the firm, soft  in boxed chocolate!  Then there's the sweet...then there's the sweet...then there's the sweet...

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

.. 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.

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 . . .
