Is that vanilla, looks delicious.
Wow, that must be expensive?
Yeah, probably. It's Godiva, after all.Wow, that must be expensive?![]()
I'm sure I've told this story here before, but growing up, we were a nothing-fancy household. Chocolate was Hershey's or Mars or some other mass-market brand. And a gift box was Russell Stover or Whitman's. That was chocolate to me as a kid. I had all but no idea that higher-quality chocolate even existed.Yeah, probably. It's Godiva, after all.
That is breakfast.time for dessert already? It's still breakfast.
That is breakfast.
I'm falling behind on my morning prep for work, so not now, but at some point, I'll tell the story about my father and Howard Johnson's mint-chocolate chip ice cream. Hint, the man grew up in the Depression and did not part with a single dollar lightly, but HoJo's MCC could get that wallet to open up a bit.
Looking forward to that story indeed! I miss HoJo's to this day, along with the peppermint stick ice cream with hot fudge sauce at Schrafft's.I'm falling behind on my morning prep for work, so not now, but at some point, I'll tell the story about my father and Howard Johnson's mint-chocolate chip ice cream.

As noted, my dad grew up in the Depression resulting in my upbringing being one of "you don't need that," "do you know how much that costs?" being said so often and definitively, that I all but stopped asking for things while still early in grammar school. A dollar did not exit his wallet casually.Looking forward to that story indeed! I miss HoJo's to this day, along with the peppermint stick ice cream with hot fudge sauce at Schrafft's.
If you would add a bit of dark chocolate drizzled liberally over those treats, strawberries dipped in dark chocolate are in some circles considered to be a mild aphrodisiac! Just a thought...a dirty thought perhaps , but still a thought. LOL.
