Godiva, take 1 #1069

For those chocolate obsessed folks looking to splurge on a $25 box of chocolates, or more, in the USA or Canada, consider Godiva.

A take on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, they have announced a contest where only lucky couple will enjoy a fantasy weekend including a room of chocolate. I repeat. A Room of Chocolate.

But before you run out and buy a box, take a peak at these official contest rules. In the meantime, dream a little dream of the golden ticket or Brooke Shields, oh that already happened. She most certainly will not be coming along with the fantasy, but hey enjoy the chocolate dream wherever it takes you.

Lime and Chocolate

Chocolate Lime Strudel

A friend came over last night and brought me chocolate, which of course makes her a dear friend, but not just any chocolate she brought me chocolate with lemon and pepper. Oh, my. It got me to thinking what else can we do with chocolate and citrus and then I found this photo. I feel a little like a tease with this post, because I'm not producing the recipe for the above. Tell you what. I will mail one bar of the aforementioned chocolate to the first person (in the USA--sorry can't afford to ship overseas) who gives me a good recipe for the above lime and chocolate strudel. Deal? You'll be pleasantly surprised with this bar and shocked by its producer.
