EGAD! I just tried hot chocolate with caffeine!
 Want to up my line count. Found Swiss Miss hot chocolate with caffeine. I am jumping out of my skin! Had to let you all know if coffee rips your stomach apart this may be an alternative. But I have not yet experienced the crash if at all from the sugar. But man, I am out of my skin!
I'd better go type now so I can take advantage of the line count. Yikes! This is quite a caffeine chocolate burst...LOL
Used to own a coffee shop. Have had lots of those chocolate
covered beans - they can be nasty even if done professionally. If I were to do at home - would buy a mild bean - or even a decaf bean and think I would cover with the Hershey's chocolate mixture I bought to make chocolate covered bananas - which I purchased at Cash N Carry. I think it had something special in it to stick to the bananas. It only came in a huge can though so would be quite an investment to see if it worked.
stay away from C items, coffee, cola, and chocolate...
House. Milk chocolate or Dark chocolate?
Chocolate cake with chocolate icing!
My mother didn't like chocolate (is that unAmerican or what?) so it was always a real treat for me on my birthday when she made a chocolate cake with chocolate icing. 
caffeine
ha ha! and your name suggests you drink a lot of it..LOL...love it! :^)
It has lots of caffeine.
I think less than coffee but I can pull an all nighter with it.
sometimes too much caffeine and not enough water..sm
I sometimes get these symptoms when I am actually sort of dehydrated from drinking too much caffeine containing products or alcohol and not enough water. I will then gulp lots of water and in a couple of days, I am fine again. I am very lax on drinking water, so it happens more often than I would like. Just a suggestion, though, not a "diagnosis."
Reduce your caffeine intake, that might help. sm
It helped me tremendously.
raspberry no caffeine hot tea w/honey nm

gel. soda or pop?

Any side effects? Can you take this stuff with caffeine? nm
s
A coffee pot. No more instant coffee!!! :-) nm

drinking soda
I think that drinking soda aggravates that. Cranberry juice and herbals teas calm this sort of thing down for me.
I find lotsa CAFFEINE gets me focused & read to go.

Haha... the above typo proves I haven't had the caffeine yet!

Chocolate cream pie, whipped cream & chocolate shavings on it!
PLUS:
Chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream.
Pumpkin pie with a 2:1 ratio of whipped cream to pie.
A root beer float.
Chocolate chip cookies, or else soft, iced molasses ones - warm from the oven, of course!
And for dessert, a few chocolate Easter bunnies and a dark chocolate Hershey bar with almonds.
Diet soda isn't the problem
I saw a report on that on TV several weeks ago. Evidently, the thinking is that if you're drinking diet soda you'll feel free to eat more high-caloric foods ?!?! The only thing I've heard that's concrete about diet soda is that it can cause loose bowel movements and the carbonation saps phosphorus, which could be detrimental to bones.
This is probably the lamest of all the scare tactics that the Food Police have come out with yet! I believe there are factions out there who won't be satisfied until everybody is eating nothing but veggies and drinking nothing but water.
The next lamest one I've heard is that air conditioning causes people to be overweight. Why? Because when you're hot you burn more calories!
I stopped listening to "experts" a long time ago!
Try a little bit of baking soda on a washcloth
Just remember that the rubbing may cause a little redness, but i think it will help with the kool-aid. Been there, done that...
Pour 1-2 cans of 7-Up soda over the turkey sm
after it has cooked for about 1-2 hours and baste as well. I usually use more soda and inject it into the turkey with a turkey injecter as well as basting it. Then, I use the drippings with the soda and make it into a gravy. It's sweet and gives the BEST flavor I have ever tasted. My mother-in-law told me years ago to do that and I have been doing it ever since.
Sprinkle with baking soda and then vacuum
Works wonders.
Might have him shave pits completely & just use baking soda as

Rub some baking soda or corn starch into him well and brush out? nm
s
leave it open for about 6-8 hours, seriously. baking soda 3-4 boxes, too. nm
,
Have him keep his snacks out of sight, even if it means warm soda. Makes a big difference! Out in
s
Try scrub ing/mopping with baking soda and vinegar and keeping windows open as much as possible - nm

Leave some open boxes of baking soda inside and maybe search for carbon filters to leave in there,

Anything chocolate!!!

Chocolate!
 Cadbury's milk chocolate
my chocolate lab
My lab is VERY STRONG - but luckily very loving and good natured. . We constantly are in the training process. He is about a year old now and loves everybody . but I get what you're saying and I think all dogs do have the potential to be aggressive if not trained/treated properly.
Hot chocolate mix
My sister-in-law's church made hot chocolate to give to their homebound friends at church. They used powdered hot chocolate mix but added creamer and milk chocolate chips to it. They put it in a Mason jar covered with fabric and tied a ribbon around it. It was really cute and it really does taste wonderful!! I don't know if you would want to give that to your boss, but I might make some for neighbors and keep some on hand for unexpected gifts we receive.
chocolate
I would stash them in the cupboard and eat them by the handful when no one was watching....
But if you must drink them I would add a drop of vanilla, cinnamon and some sugar to the melted chocolate thinned with milk.....:)
Coffee??
My hubby and I love McDonalds coffee. I am currently using Folgers, but it actually tastes bitter. Any smooth coffees out there that might be your favorite or something close to McDonalds? Thanks.
Coffee, coffee and more coffee.

Why does she see have a cup of coffee with her
hubby each morning you ask? BECAUSE THAT IS THE KEY TO A HAPPY MARRIAGE! Always have a cup of coffee with your husband before he leaves for work because you can always go back to bed! This was told to me by a woman I worked with that was passed down from her mother. Staying in bed back in those days (before women worked outside of the home) was considered lazy. I always get up and have a cup of coffee with my husband, and I see the kids off to school. I can always go back to bed, but I don't. I just start typing, which usually leads to laundry, more typing, straightening up the house, more typing, trolling this board, more typing, petting the cat, more typing, and then more COFFEE!!!!! lol Have fun! 
oh but I think we DO get together for coffee...s/m
virtually/cyberly speaking, that is *grin*
Coffee for four?
 Mission accomplished everyone! Got an email from my mutual friend on this board and I have replied. It is nice when you finally know a first name. I will admit I can talk you under the table about my love for dogs. At first it seemed impossible to know each one of the breeds by name when I would watch the American Kennel Club Dog Show and Westminster, but now with 167 breeds in AKC I am right up with them. However, that will quickly go to 169 when they welcome two new breeds into the club, which I think is to be very soon. When I went to a show in April they introduced the new hound, the Plott. It is really beautiful.
Thanks for your nice comments!
Chocolate Mousse
I could eat it every day. Yum.

That is Maggie our chocolate lab - she always has - sm
her nose into everything, no crumb is safe in our house!
Coffe and Chocolate
I quit coffee and chocolate by switching to Ginger. I buy ginger in bulk from gingerpeople.com. Crystalized ginger, ginger boosts, anything ginger. I also like Siberian Gingseng (another herb from health food store). Makes me just as happy and awake as chocolate and it is fat free.
One family had a Chocolate,
Strawberry, and Vanilla as girl names.
Years ago heard of a Dorkus.
Know two females named Michael.
Grew up with a kid (boy) named Kelly Green
Hot Chocolate Recipe
I'm looking for a good hot chocolate recipe using semi-sweet chocolate and regular milk (not cream or half-and-half). I over bought on the chocolate chips. I have checked recipes.com and will check a few other sites later. Just thought in the meantime someone here might have a good recipe to share. :) TIA!
Must be a chocolate kind of day...sm
I had a handful of M&Ms and a cup of hot chocolate for lunch. Unfortunately, I'm still sleepy.
valentine's chocolate
buy it. melt it. think of some new & interesting ways to, uh, serve it.
I did this once. Went over very well.
don't be shy, just tell him so over a cup of coffee that you asked him out for.

Anyone grind their own coffee???
I would love to get the good coffee taste such as Dunkin Donuts and have thought about getting some to grind. Has anyone done this and if so how is it as compared to what you get in the stores? Thanks.
Got my new coffee maker from
coffeeandkitchen.com. They have several models but think I read above someone who had thermal and I went that route. My hubby thinking he was getting the best if he paid a lot more for it, got a coffee pot, Cuisinart, that I detest!! As soon as you make the coffee and pour, lukewarm. Yucko....I am now wanting to get coffee grinder. Might go back to that site and check those out.
I'm 50 and coffee was my eye opener. Don't
know what happened, but it doesn't work for me anymore. I sleep anywhere from 6 to 8 hours and that doesn't help. Can't seem to concentrate on work either. LOL - Yikes, I"m a mess
RE: Need a new coffee maker
Capresso brand, either at Linens and Things, Bed, Bath and Beyond. Purchased mine at Neiman Marcus $160....absolutely worth every cented drop! It's a thermal carafe type so you never have burnt coffee taste. Always keeps coffee perfect temp, first cup to the last.
PS. RE: Need a new coffee maker
For the ultimate coffee experience = Capresso coffee maker brewing freshly ground Pete's Coffee (Kenya blend)! Mm mm mm mm mm:)
