Things that are almost as good as chocolate #6

Brazil nuts! (Obviously not chocolate covered ones ... )
I've just discovered brazil nuts. Must be careful not to scoff the whole packet. Maybe 2010 will be '365 days without brazil nuts'. hmmm.

Things that are almost as good as chocolate #5

My brother's girlfriend's mother's tiramisu.
Try saying that 5 times quickly!
Mmmmm.

Easter

Well, got through Easter OK. And actually, it wasn't too bad. My brother's girlfriend brought her mother's home made tiramisu to Easter lunch and to be honest, it was WAYYYY better than eating all those chocolate eggs.

Plus, the next day I didn't have that 'oh I ate too many chocolate eggs yesterday' feeling.

Next stop - Mother's Day.

Clayton's chocolate: the chocolate you have when you're not having chocolate ...

This chocolate soft toy is not only cuddly but it smells just like a coconut rough!

Smelling it made me remember how I used to walk 15 mins to a deli when I was ten, with 30c burning a hole in my pocket. And I would buy a coconut rough and slurp on it all the way home. (There were mint patties too, and they were also 30c. But who would choose a mint patty over a coconut rough? Not this bunny!)

Maybe I could start carrying this little toy around with me like a security blanket (this is assuming I could wrest it from my little boy's arms, and I'm not convinced I could. And NO it wasn't ME that bought it for him!!). But I'm not sure if it would prove to be more temptation than solace, a la the chocolate scented flowers (which I haven't planted yet).

Happy Easter. :-)
PS This chocolate bunny is sold through Target stores.
