There are a few chocolate clubs operating in the UK now. You sign up and pay a monthly fee and they send you chocolates every month. Admittedly these are gourmet chocolates but one advertisement I saw recently was a club that...

Would you eat a chocolate candy bar in front of someone who was on a diet?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 22 Oct 07

This is my big pet peeve. My spouse knows that I'm trying to lose weight (and he is not) and he continually brings sweets and chocolate into the house. And, of course, it's always a temptation. I won't deny it. I love chocolate or...

How many packets of cocoa do you use in each cup?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 15 Sep 07

Do you use more than one packet of instant cocoa mix in your cup? Does it taste better when you do? Do you find that your cocoa tastes plain when you only use one packet of instant cocoa? Try as I might, I can never get a good...

What type of sausage do you use on your pizza?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 10 Sep 07

About once a week, I like to order a pizza with Italian sausage topping on it, along with a few of my other favorite toppings like mushrooms, chicken and onions. And, then I smother the entire thing with my own basil and garlic...

Can sugar-free chocolate candy ever really taste good?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 9 Sep 07

Several years back I purchased a small sugar free chocolate candy bar. And, the experience was not so good. It was like eating a piece of bark, literally! Of course, this was before they invented Splenda, so I'm sure when they...

Have you experienced a Chocolate Cherry Cordial lately?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 9 Sep 07

One of my favorite chocolate treats are Cherry Cordials. It's not low fat by any means. But, it is simply divine. If you've never had it, then you're in for a real taste treat. It's a cherry smothered in cream and wrapped in a...

The hideous $2.00 shirt! I can't throw it away, it was a gift.

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 28 Aug 07

Today my spouse was picking up some necessities at the local dollar store. Just ordinary stuff you use in your daily life like paper towels, cheap cat food, etc. And, apparently, they were having an end of season clearance on...

Do you eat gourmet jelly beans or the plain store bought variety?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 27 Aug 07

Once or twice a year, I like to treat myself to a small helping of jelly beans. Not sure why I like them, but I do. And, I hear that one of the famous former US presidents loved them as well. So nice to be in good company when it...

Where do you keep your secret chocolate stash?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 27 Aug 07

For awhile I was keeping a back up emergency secret chocolate stash in my clothes closet. Everything was neatly packaged and waiting for the eventual day when I would want to blow off my diet for a chocolate binge. Then one...

Why is chocolate milk more expensive than regular milk?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 27 Aug 07

In our local area, we have to pay $2.99 for one half gallon of chocolate milk. Sure it tastes good, but it's a lot of money for something that is gone in a few glasses or at one meal. I wish it were more affordable! Our family...

Do you prefer getting your recipes from famous people or celebrity chefs?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 27 Aug 07

Just awhile ago, I saw an ad for a recipe cookbook by Jane Fonda on Ebay and was really tempted to buy it. I'm not sure why I would think she has really good recipes. But thinking about it now, she was one of the first true...

I wish they made healthy bacon cheeseburgers!

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 26 Aug 07

Well a girl can dream, can't she? Don't you wish they made them? Of course there's no such thing as a healthy bacon cheeseburger, but it would be nice if there were! I've thought about trying some of the soy vegan versions of...

Why is Santa Claus so old?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 25 Aug 07

Here's a question that I've always wondered, but never found a creative answer for. Why is Santa Claus so old? If Santa Claus were real, wouldn't he be ageless? Wouldn't he be a timeless being for the ages delivering gifts to...

How do you store your pizza in your refrigerator?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 25 Aug 07

Most times I leave the pizza in the delivery box and put it onto the middle shelf of my refrigerator, for easy access. I find that it tastes really good as a left over when simply warmed up on my George Foreman grilling...

Who would eat four day old pizza?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 25 Aug 07

Most times delivery pizza sits in my refrigerator two days before it becomes completely tasteless and then any remainder has to be thrown in the trash or fed to the outdoor cats. So, most times pizza gets eaten before then....

How long does it take you to eat a sandwich?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 9 Aug 07

Most times I don't like eating sandwiches because they are gone so quickly and then the meal is done. For instance, when I am eating a hamburger or hotdog, it takes only minutes from start to finish! For that reason, I'm more...

I just didn't enjoy Top Chef!

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 6 Aug 07

This past Saturday evening, NBC showed an epidode of Top Chef (I think that's what it was called). And, for some reason, I didn't find it to be exceptionally different than any of the other cooking contest shows on television. The...

Does anyone have a frugal recipe for egg salad?

We're trying to cut back on expenses, so that we can save money for more important things. And, so I'm doing lots more home cooking. One of our favorite dishes is egg salad. But, I'm kind of bored with the regular variety that...

What happened to your most beautiful dishes?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 3 Aug 07

About seven years ago, I came into some very good luck when I acquired a set of bone-china plates in pink and white for practically nothing. (Some were pink and some were white.) They were gorgeous and durable, the type they use...

My cookware mainly consists of various items from sets that I have owned over the years. My cooking and baking set is still very functional though. I like to think of my kitchen cookware as "the best of" collection. Sure nothing...
