Keep it short enough, and you can keep it short enough yourself.

(Raak) Logical enough but having a good thick mop at my age is something you tend to hang on to and it needs a bit of professional attention.

I'm never having short hair again. I was mistaken for a boy too many times in my teens when I had short hair and it left scars.

[Pen] Could be worse. When I think of some of the boys who were mistaken for girls (shudder)

[pen] Yep, I'm always on the lookout for a good soft chocoate chip cookie that has gooey chocolate chips when warm. I';; eat other ones to try, but I'm never satisfied with those. So many places in the U.S. sell some version.

Also good to try different chips when baking. I don't know what all you have over in the U.K., but in the U.S., they have peanut butter chips and butterscotch chips. It can be fun to substitute or mix the chip types.

[KagomeShuko] I used odd bits of chocolate I found in the cupboard, chopped it up, and in it went. Chocolate is a staple on my shopping list, but I buy it in odd places and keep trying out the new combinations. Some I like better than others for eating on their own. The remainders of bars of chcocolate that I don't like so much go into cooking.
And yes, I buy discount supermarket own brands...

And I thought I was a bit of a chocoholic.

[Rosie] I think I eat it every day, although only during the week as compensations for having to work!

[Rosie] You not only approve of the term "chocoholic", you use it yourself? I'm amazed. Does that mean I have to be the one to rant about "chocohol"? 8o)

Chocolate is the one thing that mankind has invented that is worthwhile.

Apart from all the other stuff like antibiotics and heart valves and electronics and like that.

(Stevie, penult) Don't forget that despite a basically intellectual approach to life I can be a bit common. When you've disembowelled "chocohol" have a go at "workohol" - dreadul stuff, ought to be banned.

Well the Pope's noted for being a catholic, so if that word's okay for him...

[SM] Fittingly, your observation has given me an epiphany. His followers must be behind cats being so popular on the internet!

I always try to have chocolate on hand!

I have Girl Scout Thin Mints right now!

(KagShu) Stop it! You exacerbate my cravings!

[KS] Surely any chocolate on hand would melt? It would be better in the mouth. Also, what Rosie said!

I take your random chocolate and raise you one banana toastie. I spent a whole dog walk in the rain thinking about it, and made one for lunch when I got in. (Also made a cheese and onion toastie too - it was cold out.)

I don’t actually like chocolate.

There speaks a brave man. Respect, bruv. Er, can I have your bit, then?

I'm not that excited by it either

[Rosie] Considering I live in Belgium, there’s quite a lot to go around, so be my guest.

I have to admit, I prefer a nice fruity pudding or cake to a chocolate one.

Except Battenburg. Marzipan is the Devil's earwax.

In that case, pen, how would you describe spinach purée?

[Rosie] Green. Best stirred into a good, strong curry until it disappears.
