We at Arlo & Janis do not think hitting a cat in the head with a door is funny. In our defense, this one just sort of slipped by quality control. In fact, we think physical humor is disgusting, and we are very excited to be present at the dawn of a glorious era, the digital production of comics. In the future, when every panel is a cut-and-paste copy of the initial panel, with only the dialog—and maybe an eyebrow—changing from start to finish, physical humor in the comics will become all but impossible and will disappear from our consciousness altogether. We live for that day.

Come on folks, let’s check in on chocolate preference. That was fun yesterday with scents.
I went to floral school in Holland, walked into my first truffle shop and almost fainted. Dark chocolate truffles the size of eggs?
Be still my heart!
Dark! When I want milk I’ll drink it.
As long as it’s luscious and melts in my mouth, I’m good.
Li’l Smigz, isn’t it a little early in the day to be thinking about an orgy? Nah. On second thought, it’s never too early to be thinking about an orgy.
Ghostly Science Lesson: Light travels faster than sound. That’s why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
LOL! I’m thinking today may be a good day to make a chocolate bundt cake. with fudge frosting/ dripping stuff that doesn’t cover all of the cake but is sooooo good.
Have a beautiful day everyone 🙂
Definitely dark chocolate! (I have more to say about it but it’ll have to wait until I’m on the PC instead of this tablet.)
Eating lunch with Michele and Jack at wonderful organic locally sourced restaurant on Quincy’s famous Washington Square where Lincoln Douglas debates took place.
I am having Eggs Benedict with spinach and other farmyard things and small side salad.
No desert for me. I have goals.
When Hershey’s introduced dark chocolate kisses , I wrote them a thank you note.
Just checked the Berry College nest. One adult, fussing w/ sticks, but not revealing young or eggs.

Peace,
When I was growing up, chocolate meant milk chocolate. I liked Kisses, Milky Way bars, Baby Ruths (of course), and the caramels in a Whitman’s Sampler but didn’t crave chocolate the way some do. (As I write this, I’m wondering if my liking for Mounds may have been influenced as much by its darker chocolate as by the coconut.)
My chocolate palate didn’t expand until the 1980s when Bob was playing in a small jazz group with a guy who was the band director at a local middle school. The kids really liked John and gave him lots of gifts, frequently in the form of chocolate although he could decorate a large Christmas tree with music-related ornaments. He didn’t particularly care for chocolate but would keep it all in his refrigerator (he was single at the time) and share it with the guys during rehearsals, even tell them to take it home. Bob did not decline that offer 🙂
Now a Whitman’s Sampler or a box from Russell Stover is a good thing. However, John also had sampler boxes that his mom gave him that came from Whetstones Chocolates in St. Augustine. Those opened a whole new world to us – multiple variations of dark chocolate, red chocolate, truffles of one type encased in another. It was heavenly, so good we would limit ourselves to one piece a day!
We continue to treat ourselves whenever we visit St. Augustine. Our current favorite product is their chocolate amoretto sauce, delicious in coffee or on strawberries, ice cream, fingers, whatever.
Good for you, Laura!
Ruth Anne, I am on a tablet too! But it has a sturdy protective case and this has a fold out keyboard. However, the desktop computer is much easier to use.
It’s keyboard is easier to use, I meant to write.
Hal put that apostrophe in! Not me.
RA/WP – Where in St. Aug. is this place of chocolate? I haven’t visited for about a decade or so, but still know some of the streets and check their newspaper online.
Don’t tempt me; have already had my two squares of UMC Fair Trade dark chocolate for the day. Will have supper w/ dear friends couple [both ord. ELCA clergy] and their daughter in law around 6. I supplied the 2 mallards and a varied 6-pack; they supply the cooking skills, sides, dessert, warm comfy home. Life is good.
Peace,
The gal in the Trump dress raised a lot of hackles… and her album sales at Amazon went from #543,202 to #3, so I guess her ploy worked.

Charlotte: My tablet has a detachable keyboard which is easier for typing lengthy missives but walking across the room to the PC is even easier 🙂 Which tablet do you have? Bob’s iPad is nearing the end of its days and the battery in my tablet is also showing its age. We’ve decided that our next devices will match in order to simplify communication and problem-solving but haven’t settled on make/model, other than not Apple.
Hershey Kisses are my guilty pleasure, in either the milk or dark persuasion. (“Guilty pleasure” does sound better than “secret addiction”, doesn’t it?)
Llee: Now that’s a chocolate orgy in which I could really get involved! Think about me while you’re enjoying it. 🙂
How about this one?

Found in a church cookbook!
Thinking about trying to figure out a triple chocolate chip cookie that is sugar free with pecans, oatmeal, crisp and crunchy but at same time soft and gooey.
Don’t get me wrong, I can do it with butter and sugar. Question is, healthier. With dried cherries.
Where do you get the sugar free chocolate chips, Jackie? And, don’t forget the carbs in the oatmeal and dried cherries.
I like Hersey Hugs, or real white chocolate (the kind with *real* cocoa butter!).
As a side note, a noteworthy day for me tomorrow. Two year anniversary of the kidney transplant! It’s working (apostrophe intended) and I’m still recovering from 7 years of dialysis and related health issues.
Congratulations, David. I wish you a long, healthy experience!
Yay, David. Happy to still have you around.
David, so glad you are with us yet. I wish you’d post here even more. I enjoy your attitude of positivity.
