Far too addicted...
Mar. 26th, 2006 04:15 pmto Green & Black's Almond Chocolate. (The normal one, not the deluxe, dark version.)
I brought a kilo from Britain, but it's just too easy to eat a whole bar pretty much at once. I usually can't eat that much chocolate in one go, but with the Green & Blacks Almonds stuff it's easy, as there's so many almonds in there - probably around 40% of the bar is just almonds. And the almonds are lightly toasted and still in their skins, so they taste, well, more 'almondy' than they usually do, and the chocolate - milk chocolate with a slightly higher than normal cocoa content - for some reason tastes a bit like honey, yet at the same time *very* chocolate-y... and it's just a match made in heaven. Seriously. My favourite chocolate ever. I've tried a number of almond chocolates here in Germany, but nothing can compare. I should have left some money with friends in Britain so they could send me the occasional care package...
I blame my gaining nearly five kilos when I was living in Britain largely on that chocolate. By the end of my Birmingham stay I was going through it at a rate of something like one bar per day.

OT-
Date: 2006-03-26 08:46 pm (UTC)And please send me your address once more, since I'm not sure if I have your latest (I probably will, if you haven't moved since my last package, but I want to be sure).
Oh, and chocolate is always good :D
Same address as always.

Becka.
Heh, thanks. *g*

Oh, I still have 900 g, don't worry. ;-)

Date: 2006-03-28 07:03 am (UTC)Oh, my pisspoor memory coming back to bite me.
*is intrigued*
Oh, and just because you have 900 g is no excuse. You gots ta stock up on this stuff.
In other news, it is now my overriding goal to become a congresswoman and wear a sombrerro. I think you can guess why. I already have the sombrerro.
What I'm about to send you...
Date: 2006-03-28 02:33 pm (UTC)And I meant the *other* day by the seaside! I think...
Anyway... I just realised I don't have your address! Could you e-mail it to me, please?
