I am a choco-holic. I do not apologize for it, nor do I have any intention of stopping. Chocolate makes me happy.
Fresh, gooey chocolate chip cookies make me very joyful. I love the pure indulgence of taking the first bite… warm chocolate streaming down my finger. HMMMM, good.
A large pan of just-out-of-the-oven brownies are especially fulfilling. Just warm enough to stay together for a moment, and then crumble in my hand. No nuts please… perhaps caramel, fudge ripple or vanilla ice cream to take the enjoyment to a new level. I love that!
I am not very good when it comes to self-control and chocolate. I always have kept at least a few boxes of brownie mix in the kitchen… just in case I need a fix. This was also true in college.
There was one afternoon when my 3 housemates were all at class. I was left alone in the apartment. I wanted brownies… badly! I turned the oven on. I pulled out the box of mix, bowl, oil, eggs and pan. I combined the ingredients with a fork like a mad scientist. YEAH… brownies soon! I waited… the oven was not yet ready… I want brownies. I took the fork out of the mixing bowl and licked it… YUMMY! The oven not yet ready, I placed the fork back into the batter and licked it again… even better than the first time!
Why wait for the oven? I turned off the oven, grabbed the bowl of batter and a spoon and plopped myself in a big comfy chair… pure bliss. Minutes passed… the mix disappearing quickly. Then it happened… a key in the lock and the door opened.
One of my roommates was home! NOOOO! Reality set in… BUSTED! Begrudgingly, I put the bowl of mix in the refrigerator as I was reminded that eating raw egg may not be healthy. No matter… I will finish that later!
Later I did… I love chocolate!

Is there going to be a chocolate fountain at your wedding?? I understand - the white dress and not being able to control yourself.
I never told anyone of your raw egg encounter...but it is funny to hear it again - especially with your defense :)
no choco fountain... I don't think anyone needs to see me trying to dip my head.
