SB chocolate experts. i just learned that the little gourmet store near me carries a few varieties of SB bars. the green one said Mocha on the front but also pure dark chocolate, with like 72% cocoa. Is that the one you all rave about? I though mocha was chocolate and coffee together. Then there was a yellow and I think pale red. one was bittersweet and I forget what the other one was labeled. Please guide this neophyte.

You want the "Nibby Bar". It is chocolate and cacao nibs. Mocha is fine, too, but different than what people have been pushing. Then there's that special Jamacian gold bar thing that sounds fantastic, but I have not seen it anywhere yet.

Yeah, I want it too. i went to the local "Whole foods" market where you can buy apples for 6 bucks a pound. and also strange exotic everythings. they did NOT have the nibby bars...

Sb

I cannot find the Nibby bar or the Jamacian gold bar in any of my reliable stores. :(

In my house, I have the Bittersweet 72% Cacao (blue wrapper) bar and the Semisweet 60% Cacao (yellow wrapper) bar.

I absolutely love SB and it does not last long in my home. :o

Although usually whenever I see him, my brain automatically "sees" Bertie Wooster.

I totally had the same issue but I persevered and am now completely addicted to House.

I'm able to seperate him from the Black Adder and Jeeves and Wooster cuz it's been so long since I've seen either.

Guess what we're watching again tonight!?

Disc #2 of our 6 disc set! Wooo-hooo!

I watch Jeeves and Wooster repeats every Saturday night on PBS. We have Black Adder on DVD. I love Black Adder.

I read this story in the New York Times today, about a tiny corporate jet that was flying over somewhere in the Amazon. Something hit it- clipped off the wing and the tail. They miraculously found a hidden military airstrip in the middle of the jungle, and landed. Hours later, they found out they were hit by the commercial airliner- which crashe in the jungle with no survivors. It should have been the other way around, logically. Some think that the pilot of the big commercial jet made a drastic move to avoid the collision- saving the small jet. Pretty...I don't know, incredible? Not everything is bad.

...but if it was a big commercial airliner, wouldn't it have maybe three or four times the number of people on it than the small jet?

I LOVE all this snake stuff.

Anyone watch "The Closer"? We are big fans.

My brother in law is forever persecuting us about watching "The Wire", also. We did watch one episode and liked it.

Hehehehehe... I just caught this part of the drift. Tap dancing enemas?! :eek: :D Way to let the cat out of the bag Nanci. Most people think all we do is take xrays. Now that they know the whole story, they'll all be applying to xray school.

Yes, ladies we do more than take naked pics of people all day. We also get to do truly sadistic things to them as well. I especially like the defacation studies, spinal punctures, and retrograde urethrograms. :rolleyes: Or how about the occasional guy who thinks he's Adonis and comes out of the dressing booth with the gown hanging open in the front, or better yet, minus the gown. (Yeah, hmmmm, ok. Sir, could you please put that away before I die laughing? :rolleyes: )

What a glamorous life we lead. Rad Techs rule baby!

Oh, I need some sleep. Goodnight TD.

...and good morning, TD!

I got pix from the 1/2 marathon overnight: http://forums.teamestrogen.com/showt...962#post129962

Snakes, planes, hey, didn't they make a movie of that? :cool:

Date with the Professor was nice, although I liked Southern Gent. better...Professor a bit paternalistic, which can be appealing occasionally to one who most emphatically takes care of herself, but could get annoying. Probably goes right along with being 16 years older than me, and a professor! It's been nice, though, to have intelligent conversations with attractive men two days in a row. Now, why do they have to bunch up like this?! Gotten a couple of emails from the fitness singles site, too. Oh, but I am popular. :rolleyes:

Rad techs...you guys do rule. Tough job. Little appreciation.

wine?

Lise, a professor....an educated fellow, very nice!!!

I'm off down south for a few days-i'm going chocolate & wine hunting. Remember if any of those sound appealing, pm me and i'm happy to get you some.

Fish-where are you??

Snakes-I haven't seen any yet but just a small peek would be nice.

Have a good day!

yes, there were over 100 people that died on that flight. It was just the article described the experience of the survivors.

very scary and strange.
