Title: Choccy
Post by: tel on December 11, 2007, 01:37:59 PM
For chocolate chilli sauce

100g dark chocolate
3 tbsp golden syrup
1 orange, juice and zest
a few drops Tabasco sauce

Put the chocolate and the golden syrup in a glass bowl set over a pan of gently simmering water.

While the chocolate is melting, zest the orange, then juice it. Stir into the melted chocolate with a few drops of Tabasco sauce to give it a kick

If that was all you were wearing I doubt he would complain.  eyes:

The chicken would probably go cold though.

Mr Wench doesn't really do spicy food. However, I am now planning a full chocolate menu for when I have girls dinner in January.

And don't forget, a really good, authentic chilli con carne contains chocolate. None of your nancy boy milk stuff either, full on dark chocolate bourneville or better if you really want to impress.

Wouldn't do it any other way ~ but Green and Black's chocolate surely

I did intimate that Snoops, but you can get away with bourneville at a pinch.

They can't be serious choccy people then - they have a white choccy bar there - and that is most definitely NOT chocolate!

My good friends at Viking Direct inform me that if I order a modest amount of computer supplies from them (which I do anyway) they will send me a "Chocoholics Dream Hamper".

I wonder if Wenchy's employers use them? whistle:

Post by: Snoopy on December 12, 2007, 04:09:44 PM
You are good friends with Viking Direct? Biggest bunch of crooks and charlatans that I have ever had the misfortune to deal with. Double invoiced me and when I said sort it out before I pay ~ went to court. I won 8) Proved that they had issued two invoices for the same goods ~ they then barred me from their services.

I use a company in Dorset CLP ~ reliable, inexpensive and HONEST!

I had you pegged as a man of discernment, taste and breeding ~ not one who could be bought off with a handful of cheap chocs that they have purchased wholesale, using profits made by over charging customers, double accounting and dubious credit control methods.
Nick ~ I am disappointed.  noooo:

Please don't tell me you have ever accepted one of their nasty cheap alarm clocks, desk photo frames or other gimmick "give-aways".

I think that is a dilemma. Quandary would involve "Lard Arse" and "Juggy"

I was merely unpicking a faux pas. After all, a quandary clearly must involve four options..................


Oh, yes....................... surrender:
Title: Re: Choccy
Post by: Snoopy on December 13, 2007, 06:33:06 PM
My dictionary defines Quandary as: State of perplexity, difficult situation, practical dilemma

I do, however, see where you are coming from with the "four" idea but whichever we are still in deep doo-doo  scared2:
Title: Re: Choccy
Post by: Nick on December 13, 2007, 06:39:05 PM
YOu could be right. A quandary may not need 4 options. False etymology on my part. I take back Lard Arse and Juggy
