Hi Everyone,

I'm just curious, if you won, let's say, 2 million dollars in the lottery, what would you do with the money?

I would buy 40 acres of land, build a house and start a No Kill animal shelter. This is my dream and I'm working on doing this even if I don't win the lottery, although it would happen a lot faster if I did.

You all will think I'm crazy, but the best chocolate I've ever had (besides the divinity that is Godiva, of course) was found in a tiny little chocolate shoppe in He'arbin, China.

The town of He'arbin has this amazing ice and snow festival every year because of its geographic location... its actually further North than this famously cold city in Siberia! After a long day of hitting the ice slides, the snow sculptures, the ice maze, and the snow wonderland my friends and I found a divine little Russian chocolate shoppe... that served hot coffee and these amazing dark chocolate golden nuggets. They were simply divine...

Course, it could have been the baileys that was added into the hot coffee, but it was a delightful piece of chocolate!

The best Hot chocolate was in Viareggio Italy... their chocolate is so amazingly thick it coats the spoon you stir it with!! mmm....

Geez, Kp... I was out of "must-have-chocolate" mode... Rah...

in spain the "hot chocolate" was really like molten, thick chocolate... reminded me of the stories of montezuma drinking his fix of melted choco before entering his harem.

of course im a boy, so ill tie it into sex however i can.

KP-You little sex fiend you. I refuse to think about chocolate any more today, instead I'm cleaning my bathroom, if that can't put me off chocolate I don't know what can, I have two toilet bowl missing men in my house.

HC- Bailey's in hot chocolate, now I have to go to the liquor store. And you think I'm an enabler.

Another obsession, ice cream. Germany has wonderful ice cream, they have ice cream shops like we have coffee shops. I can resist ice cream today, the weather outside is still to cold for me to consider any ice cream. I can't wait until summer. Snow, bah humbug.

have you had baileys and ice cream?

take a blender and some breyers natural vanilla and some baileys and blend. add to taste.

then pour into a glass... a crystal white wine glass is perfect, add a spoon, fire up the fireplace...

crap... back to sex again. oh darn.

anywho... its a fav treat.

HistorianChick

Darn you, Alt!!! I made an analogy about coffee ice cream today and thought that it got the need for another coffee/chocolate sundae out of my system! Rah... there goes the couple pounds I lost this week... Oh well... it's soooo worth it!

Gelato.... Mmm.... another one of my obsessions with Italy. Italy - the perfect country. Pasta, Gelato, Chocolat, and Ferrari's, and Italian men... you can't get much better than that!

HistorianChick

Ooo... I have baileys and coffee ice cream at home... mmmm....

Thanks KP!

I think.....

kp2171

i have no sexual references for gelatto...

oh... wait... my wife is italian. bingo!

Altenweg

KP- Thanks to you my husband is going to be a very happy man when he gets home tonight. Now I'm obsessing about sex.

HC- I had to mention ice cream, misery loves company.

I wonder, ice cream with baileys during sex? Too cold? Mood breaker? I'll let you know tomorrow.

HistorianChick

Niiice Alt... sheesh. Now you're both depressing me...

I'm about ready to head home to a yummy baileys/ice cream shake and a bubble bath.

That works for me!

Altenweg

Sorry about that HC, all's fair in love and chocolate.

Hey, did I mention that I'd also buy a trailer if I won the lottery. I'm not talking roughing it, I'm done with that, I'm talking 35 feet of glorious trailer with a microwave and everything. Oops, did I say 35 feet, KP will think of something sexual to go with that comment.
