If you can find a really great quality dark chocolate, no sugar at all, like Valrhona, it can be eaten and skip the cabs. I found a small maker in Norcia, famous for pork, that tastes almost like Valrhona so I can have chocolate without busting the diet.

It's just non-sweetened chocolate. You can bake with it, make hot chocolate, eat it.

It's fashionable to pretend to like dark, bitter chocolate. But it doesn't
really sell that much. When push comes to shover, people always buy Milka.

No more? Not having Botany as a single subject I can understand, it's
pretty wide-ranging and has many sub-subjects. But Swansea did Botany
degrees when I was there. And Zoology, Microbiology and Environmental
Biology (wot I did). Either they're dumbing down, or specialising. I'm
afraid suspect the former.

I usually put peanut butter and jelly on toast when I am hungry at
breakfast time. It's not a guilty pleasure, it's just something to
tide me over until a better meal comes along. :)

Food is an important part of a balanced diet.

Shhhhhh!
Actually, if it was going to be anything it would probably be mince or

A-ha, I believe I know this one, cos someone told me recently! Mostly
cos I used to sit near the rooms where they did it.
So apparently they have a little room with a person with a headphone,
who repeats in monotone what has been heard back to a machine, which
then does voice recognition.
I quite fancied the job when I thought it was just typing as heard. :-(
No way I could be doing that.

It's a whole team of people, on shifts, I think.
They'll probably 'get away with it' until someone complains. Although it
could be that the software has the equivalent of predictive text, which
makes things seem humourous but it's not intentional.

from a website. Could have been BBC.
Oh, or web history suggests here:
http://allrecipes.co.uk/recipe/4807/best-big--fat--chewy-chocolate-chip-cookies.aspx
If it was, I dropped the choc chips and made the whole batch, then sliced
and mixed with whatever (oat+raisin, glace cherries, choc chips, etc) as
required.
