Naming it Special Dark is just confusing. I think dutched cocoa should be clearly labeled as such, so that when baking magazines recommend it, nobody has to spend hours reading tiny-print ingredient labels in the chocolate aisle.
Can someone explain to me why I have to go to work tomorrow? After 4 days off, it just seems wrong.
Huh. I've never seen the European/Dutch/Special Dark chocolate from Hershey's before. I'm used to there only being one kind of Hershey's cocoa.
I made the cupcakes (no frosting, yet) which just came out of the oven. I haven't tried them yet, and they smell good, but I think I may have used up my cooking karma with dinner.
I have a shiny nickel for anybody that can explain the female species in 200 words or less.
SHIIIIIIINY NICKEL!
I'll sit in that corner with you. I got the Special Dark kisses to put in my candy bowl. They may sit there quite a while before they go.
Heh. I kind of like it for that reason - it's a good way to keep chocolate in the house for when you
really
want it, but you're not going to touch it in between times. If there were such a thing as diet chocolate, this is it.
I can't explain the species, but I bet I could, with the assistance of my fellow Bitches, explain the behavior of a particular female if you'd care to describe it.

We're pretty and smell good.

I shall start by noting that 'the female' is not a species. Save possibly for the bdelloid rotifer, which seems to have abolished sex completely. Freaks.
Anyway, my explanation, with both genders thrown in for free: "Men are from Earth. Women are from Earth. Deal with it."
SHIIIIIIINY NICKEL!
I just ended up crying at both a biography of Maureen O'Hara and the Life of Mammels episode where the mean gorillas beat another gorilla to death. Without it being a pre-menstrual time. (edit: I'm not pms-ing, I should say. I think the gorilla meanies were all boys and thus pms-free.) Best guess is that I am still in enough pain to be ... um ... a pain. Anyway, I don't think I should be giving advice tonight.
192 words:
A thousand thundering thrills await me
Facing insurmountable odds greatly
The female of the species is more deadlier than the >male.
Shock shock horror horror, shock shock horror!
I'll shout myself hoarse for your supernatural force!
The female of the species is more deadlier than the >male.
Refrain:
Oh, she deals in witchcraft and
One kiss and I'm zapped. Oh,
How can heaven hold a place for me
When a girl like you has cast her spell on me?
Oh, How can heaven hold a place for me
When a girl like you has cast her spell on me?
Frankenstein and Dracula have nothing on you
Jekyll and Hyde join the back of the queue
The female of the species is more deadlier than the >male.
For she wants to conquer the world completely
But first she'll conquer me discreetly
The female of the species is more deadlier than the >male.
(refrain)
Oh, How can heaven hold a place for me
When a girl like you has cast her spell on me?
Oh, How can heaven hold a place for me
When a girl like you has cast her spell on me?
ARRGH. Formatting. If only blockquote worked right.
But, I've always loved this song.
Robin: I'm not quite at the frustration level where story-time is necessary, especially as I think the female in question is WELL outside the normal parameters of behavior - part of why I like her a lot, in this case - so I would need to give essays worth of background.
Steph: Your answer is good. I grant you the nickel. You can either email me your addy, or consider it an I.O.U.
billytea: Your answer is too realistic, sensible, and practical. Unacceptable in this case.
