I can't join the chocolate-munching gang. I am mainly not eating chocolate apart from specific days. However, Sunday will be an allocated day - yippee in advance!

:wave:

Love the idea of dedicated chocolate days A*M! Am trying to be good at the moment, but not sure it's having any impact!

Happy weekend MWC - chickens are rubbish lawn mowers anyhoo, they just can't get that whole lawn stripe thing right!

Neither can I Hbbb

I've just ordered a new lawnmower blade so maybe I'll have stripes next week!

As well as mowing the lawn, I have potted up my seedlings and painted the timber for the new fence. I have a few more seeds to sow this evening and I need to update my SFG spreadsheet.

Miss M has lost her squawk - she's more bok, bok, squeak today :rotfl:

Can you identify yours from the sound of their calls too MWC? Mr Hbbb thinks I'm bird brained too because I can tell Alice very distinctly because she pipes and coos, May shouts and squawks and Bessie grumbles and carks! And when I cough all three answer me! :rotfl:

Sounds like grand work in the garden, there! Stripes in place for Easter weekend then!

Not always Hbbb but I can usually guess who's having a hissy fit before I look out of the window :rotfl:

Awww ... I could always tell which of my cats were miaowing, and people can tell which of their own dogs are barking ... why not chickens?

I made a two minute chocolate sauce thing last night from my new list of recipes - it was divine thought of you!

Divine two minute chocolate sauce, did I hear? Can you post the recipe please, Karmacat?

Happy to oblige! Its actually called rum balls, and a lovely online person sent it to me, in a gluten free recipe book:
2oz butter
2 tblspns molasses
2oz brown sugar
1tblspn cocoa
1 tblspn rum
2 tblspns ground almonds
1 cup mixed dried fruit
1 cup mixed chopped nuts
Slowly boil in a pan the butter, molasses and brown sugar. Remove from the heat and stir in remaining ingredients. Mix well. Cool and roll into balls, coat as you fancy – melted chocolate, cocoa, whatever.
I used golden syrup instead of molasses, and didn't put the rum, fruit or the nuts in - they'd probably take it out of heart attack country :rotfl:

Thanks Karmacat. Will have to give it a try some time over this holiday.

Today - now,in fact - I am eating the rest of my chocs. Have only had 2 and feel all sugared out! However I shall persevere to finish the other 4... Wouldn't want to force them on anyone else now, would I?
