I Demand a Do-Over

Seriously? Banana? I do love bananas, but really, if I could figure out which answers would get me chocolate milkshake as the result, I'd redo this.

You Are a Banana Milkshake

You are happy to go your own way in life. You've always felt a little different from everyone else. You are content to have your own thing going on... you just don't like getting attention for it! You love variety and new experiences. You are quite creative and experimental. You believe that there is a lot to still be discovered in this world, and you're hoping to find some of it.

Ghiradelli Chocolate Comparison Taste Test

Ghiradelli Dark Chocolate

 Hubby gave me a Ghiradelli Dark Chocolate Tasters Package, so I decided to try a bite of each in succession. The 60 per cent cacao is divine. Smooth, melt-in-your-mouth chocoliciousness. Hands down, my favorite of the three.

The 72 per cent is also good, very rich, but just at the edge of my dark chocolate bitterness tolerance level. One of these would last me for a while.

The 86 per cent is beyond my chocolate zone. I much prefer dark chocolate to the too sweet milk chocolate, but I do have my limits. This was just too dry and overwhelming. I barely finished half the square.

Feeling: chocolicious

Happy Valentine's Day!

They look yummy, albeit not chocolate, but don't be fooled! They're minis, 1:12 scale.

Feeling: chocolicious

Things that are Cool

Is your PC a male or female? Here's how to find out.

Largest jigsaw puzzle, with pictures by the late, great Keith Haring. I remember seeing his chalk drawings on the black sheets where billboards went in the NYC subway system. Such wonderful, creative works that are even better in color. The 32,256 piece jigsaw puzzle is big enough to make the Guinness Book of Records. At 17' x 6', it sure would take up a lot of room.

Feeling: achy

Fortunate Results

These results are fortunate because chocolate chip cookies are pretty much the only kind I know how to make.

You Should Bake Chocolate Chip Cookies

You are the type of person who has more friends than you can count. You're very popular. You are outgoing and fun loving. You don't worry too much... you just enjoy life. You may be well liked, but there's nothing bland or ordinary about you. You like to write your own rules. Who knows what you'll throw into your chocolate chip cookies?

Links That Must Be Shared

The Huffington Post has become an addiction. I follow it on Facebook. The following links came from there. I hope its recent acquisition by AOL doesn't screw it up.

Ever wonder what a mashup (we used to call them crossovers) of The Jersey Shore and the Family Circus would be like? Wonder no more! Someone came up with it.

Not Much of a Post

Damn, it was frigid out today. Winter is holding on tooth and claw. I'm really tired of it. Since I don't have anything more profound to say, I'll post this cool link, instead.

Wicked Witch Door Stopper. This is so clever. I wish I could think of things like this. Found on Miss Cellania.

Egads, February Already

Lost track of time. Been doing therapy for the tendonitis in my shoulder, getting sick of snow in particular and winter in general, and finding lots of cool shows to watch on TV.

Watched the new "Chicago Code" tonight and it makes a nice complement to two other serious and excellent cop shows on TV right now: Blue Bloods (NYC setting) and Southland (LA setting). Still loving Castle, and finding Hawaii Five-O entertaining, too.

So, keeping busy and eagerly waiting for spring.

Feeling: sick of snow
