Dec 9, 2007, Chocolate Tunes and the Return of the Chocoholic
Did ya miss me? I know, I know, I haven't updated this site in about 10 years and you're beginning to think my chocolate is getting stale. I apologize. But I've been really busy eating chocolate. Honest!
So anywho, to reward you for your patience, here is a funny chocolate song from London-based pianist Ian Rae. It's a free mp3 download and ought to amuse some of you chocoholics out there.
Yep, the FDA is actually considering redefining what can be called chocolate, so that manufacturers can make more money by replacing high quality ingredients with crummy ones that are really bad for you, like vegetable fats in place of cocoa butter. YUCK!
