Back to chocolate for a minute
Hotel Chocolat seems to treat growers fairly, and hands around samples in the shops sometimes.
Co-op Fairtrade dark orange chocolate is wonderful, and the dark chocolate is good for making chocolates. (The real dark chocolate, not the 50% pretending to be dark.) And now that Somerfield is part of the Co-op I don't have to boycott them for having the worst environmental attitude of all the supermarkets and may be able to get the chocolate locally.
Sorry I am not putting in the links, I seem to have lost the ability to do it!

I have to make sure that the chocolate isnt made in a cadbury or nestle factory and then just rebranded. Lots to explore there.
Rant for the day, it is freezing cold. And an fed up with solicitors

All this talk about chocolate is getting too much for me…
(reaches into desk to retrieve pack of Thorntons Dark Chocolate Gingers…)
Believe it or not, we've still got quite a lot of christmas chocolate left. I think that just shows how much we had to start with though.

I am so glad I am not a chocolate fiend as all this talk would make me want to eat some and I am trying to lose weight (again!)

Today I'm gettin all het up about the bloody ueless scroungers in our HR department.
Last month they screwed up a payrise I was supposed to get (nothing terribly impressive, just a standard "development zone" thing because i'd been with the company 9 months), and when I pointed it they assured me they'd sort it for this month and i'd get back pay for january.
I've just got this month's pay slip, and not only have I not got the back pay I'm owed for january, they've not adjusted my salary for february either. What exactly do they do to justify their ridiculously inflated salaries?
When i called to make them aware of it the first thing the woman i spoke to said was "how do you know it's not right, you've not been paid yet."
HR are responsible for sending the cocking pay slips in the first place!
I'm sure I should have stopped being surprised by other people's monumental stupidity long ago, but it still gets me every time.

Chocolate – gotta be Green and Blacks! Or for pressies and treating yourself Chococo in the purbecks. Yummy!! Go go with your people power, let us know what they put in the machine. We have Divine in our machines here sometimes but not that often.

and there is also another recipe using five Mars Bars ……..

Oh wow Brightspark – that's one evil chocolatey 'good'ness site! Those flapjacks do sound rather good though. I'm feeling a busy weekend baking coming on!
Like the sesame seed idea as well Mutley – then I could pretend they're healthy!
