Wow, girls loving chocolate is a proven thing? Crazy!

Also, congrats on writing some more! So very intrigued by this snippet. I already feel sorry for the narrator!

I rank that bit of 'scientific evidence' up there with Oprah saying that starting your meal with a fat helps digestion. For me, that statement confirmed what I had known all my life: start your meal with dessert.

Thanks. My narrator does have a tough road ahead. But it all works out in the end...kinda.

Well, hello! Thank you for validating my orgasmic love of chocolate. Now--recipe?? I want to bring it to book club on Monday!

SYTYCD!!!! This is one of my all-time favorite routines in the history of the show. I LOVE Christopher Scott, and not because he has both my boys' names.

Great snip! Seems I've seen this somewhere...hmmm... :-P

Recipe is soooo simple. Get Betty Crocker Sugar Cookie pkg, add 1 c of graham cracker crumbs and 1 c of melted butter. Mix. Press into the bottom of a 9X13 pan (or whatever the size is of the longer baking pan). Cook in 375 preheated oven for about 20 min (or until set). Add...well, I added two bags of milk chocolate chips. (I think it's supposed to be a bag and a half. But come on...Really? Can you have too much chocolate. Uh...NO! ) Let chocolate melt for about 5 minutes. This is also where I altered the recipe because sometimes me and broiling don't mesh...and I wanted the chocolate chips to be nice and melted. (they weren't after 5 minutes.) I lowered the temperature on the oven to 270 and placed the dish back in the oven once I placed a layer of marshmallows. (I used one pkg of the large ones and tore them in half. I saved one to eat. :-)) I cooked it until the mellows were nice and brown. Let it cool for about 10 minutes...and prepare yourself for a happy mouth. If they weren't so rich I would have eaten the entire pan ( ... )

Man, how did I miss this? Oh wait, I know how... I was busy schlepping in-laws around last Friday.

I love the last two lines of your snippet. They made me... well, not quite curious, but intent on finding out what is going on.

Ah! You were having fun without me. ;-)

"intent on finding out what is going on." I have done my job!
