Chantico is tasty...
I had fun last night, playing at the torch, just seeing what popped out...Sometimes I just like to 'go unconcious' and let the beads do their own thing...I don't really remember making these (maybe the BF brought them?) cause I didn't have a plan or any stress worrying about what to do next...that's always a nice way to make beads, or anything really...don't stress over it - there's a Dove chocolate message that says the same thing (although no Dove chocolate was harmed in the making of these beads)...I haven't had a Chantico in AGES, I think maybe I'll treat myself to one today...
Brian will be working on my layout eventually..I screwed up the column with the blog in it (this column in fact!) and I never bothered to learn the code to fix it - I tasked him with that since he was so gung ho about having this blog to begin with..its all good, I haven't screwed it up since like March, but unfortunately since I can't fix it myself, I have to wait patiently...so hang tight and it'll get done...eventually...at least you can still READ it, you just have to scroll side to side a bit...sorry about that...
With this colder weather, the dog has lost her mind...she's having a ball running around the back yard, chasing squirrels, taking her toys outside to rip them to shreds, 'killing' the frisbee and just going insane..she loves this weather..I bet she'd be good in snow too...she's doing really well, and the bike is in the shop, so Brian will be riding down the street with her, giving her legs a nice workout...
It looks like your questions will be answered very soon, as I suspected they might...just keep an eye out..I haven't said anything to anyone - so don't think I'm secretly sharing behind the scenes - I'm not...although it was awfully funny that everyone who emailed me referred to the same person, even tho I never mentioned who I was talking about...just want to make that clear...time to sit back and let the info take it's course...

I KNOW! I thought the exact same thing...I didn't mention it in the write up - I figured someone out there might turn me into eBay for mentioning a 'nasty' bit...
You think like me, Gail!!!

Oh my goodness! I had no idea what a Chantico was, so I Googled it and found an article from USA Today.
Chantico is steamed with cocoa butter and whole milk. It's no diet drink: A 6-ounce cup has 390 calories, 21 grams of fat and 51 carbs. And Starbucks will market it as a "drinkable dessert." Imagine melting down a chocolate bar — and drinking it. "This should be a very occasional treat — like maybe on your 100th birthday," says Neal Barnard, author of Breaking the Food Seduction. "It has more fat than most candy bars."
So now of course I have to have one. Anything that nutritionist say that I should only have once every 100 years must be absolutely fabulous. So thanks to you, I will now be stopping at Starbucks on my way to work to see if I can get one. If I become addicted it will be all your fault. :)

Well ever since you got that chantico while we were out taking Ms. Kimberly around, I've been wanting one! Every time I've gone to Starbucks, they are out!!! I'm really craving one too! LOL!

Okay, I really didn't want to know the stats on the Chantico. ;-) I was very happy just knowing that it tastes far too good to be good for you! My Starbucks has never been out of them... I try to limit myself to one a week. Ever had one with a shot of espresso? I'm not a big coffee fan, but it's pretty good!
