St. Paul Real Estate: What is Really on my Mind?

Fridays are for fun and today is no exception. After writing more than a thousand posts on this blog, I have never written about what is on my mind, and that is chocolate of course. Well today I am changing all of that.

chocolate

I love chocolate, and will eat most any kind. I am not a chocolate snob like some who have to check for actual coco content. Nope not me, I eat it all. It is good for breakfast, in the form of hot chocolate, and for lunch and dinner in most any form.

Chocolate has medicinal qualities that I don't think people get. So many problems can be solved with chocolate. Earlier this week I tried to talk about my passion for chocolate on the agent genius blog but the commenters kept changing the subject back to SEO, search engine optimization. I want to thank the only person who hung in there with me, and discussed chocolate, blogger Mike Farmer. I am going to have to find a way to send him some chocolate.

Chocolate is mostly what I think about, well at least when I am not eating it. . . OK I think about it when I am eating it too. If you are a regular reader of this blog you need to know that as I wrote each post I was most likely thinking about chocolate, that is why there are typos and sometimes the pictures are a little blurry. I sell real estate so that I have money to buy chocolate. I live in a house so that I have a place to store chocolate.

Have a great weekend, and try not to forget the finer things in life, like chocolate.

I am suddenly so hungry. I was fine a minute ago, but now I will be hitting Tim Horton's on the way to work.

Thanks you so much for this post. If only more people had the courage to write about what's really important, what's on their minds and in their hearts, the blogosphere would be much better off.

This Friday, I'm inspired.

Thanks Mike, it is a rare person who truly understands what is important in life. While the discussion of SEO, animal sacrifice and the use of salt for bloggers I was most disappointed that we could not discuss chocolate in depth and that the conversation kept going back to SEO. Thanks for stopping by.

OMG! I love chocolate to and think it has special powers also. I will eat it most anytime of the day and any kind also. So I guess you love that movie Chocolat.

I have always joked if I was lost on a deserted island and could only have one thing yes you got it chocolate.

I love chocolate with fruit thats what they give me on my birthday! I have turned my son and family into chocolate nuts also even the dog I know I know it's bad for him small pieces.

I'm so excited that were all getting $600 to buy chocolate with. We must do our best to get out of this economic crisis and I will buy my way out in chocolate.

Maybe I'll see you at the local candy factory! I actually have a members discount chocolate card. They send me free chocolate on my birthday and a dinner at there jazz restaurant and choclate factory.

Mmm, chocolate - Teresa, I like the way you think! A couple great places for chocolate in St. Paul are Legacy Chocolate on Marshall and Chocolate Celeste on University, near 280. I don't work for them, but am happy to keep them in business. The darker stuff is supposed to have more health benefits, but it all tastes good :-] Going to stop by one of those shops on the way home from work today for my "fix."

Teresa, if you ever become bored of real estate, you could become a spokesperson for the chocolate industry, and I believe you are already fully prequalified.

I see we have a kindred soul from Orlando. May the chocolate be with you, peace.

Try this at dinner. Buy a brick (about 4 lbs) of Callebaut dark. Cut, chop, shave it at the table and serve. Or just pass it around on a cutting board. Add some raspberries in any form and you will make friends for life. Well - maybe only as long as the chocolate brick lasts.

If you haven't tried it - go get some Lindt chocolate. The truffles are wonderful.

When I lived in the Twin Cities, I bought Chocolat Celeste. She makes great chocolate truffles. The best chocolate I have ever had is from http://www.queenbeegardens.com/ Their web site is strange. It's like they don't want you to order online. I cannot even find their dark on dark chocolate truffles online, but they are amazing, and they do not have sugar. They are made of honey. I used to live in Stillwater, MN, and I bought those chocolates at the River Market there. You may have to call in an order, but the dark on dark chocolate truffles are well worth the trouble. Also, have you tried the chocolate worlds at Whole Foods? No sugar, and they are great too (for having no sugar). They are grain sweetened.

I absolutely have to mention, that I am addicted to chocolate. I love chocolate so much that I could eat it at any times. Do you know the feeling of ravenousness? After having dinner, I always have to eat chocolate. I small piece is enough, but I really have to. Crazy, or? But, if it is within the limits, I think it is passable :-)

I love the feeling when chocolate melt in the mouth, but I have to pass, because I am to adipoid from all the chocolate in the past. At the moment I have to diet..
