Oddly, I’m not keen on most of the centres you get in boxed
chocolates, especially the fruit creams. The invention of lime cream chocolates
has to be one of the very lowest points of human endeavour. Hand made Belgian
chocolates, on the other hand, are something else again. Come to think of it, I
haven’t had a hand made Belgian chocolate for about twenty years. I have a
vague memory of savouring one while watching the TV alone one Christmas – Ghostbusters, I think it was, or maybe Eraserhead. It definitely wasn’t the
Queen’s Christmas Broadcast. I would have had too much respect for the chocolate.
Time for another scotch. That’s more of a comforting habit
than a fetish.

I LOVE fresh bread! It's more addicting to me than chocolate and that's saying a lot. I'm too lazy though to make it. Have you baked some, Jeff?
I tried once, Wendy, but it didn't turn out very well. I have neither interest in nor aptitude for baking. All that mixing of ingredients seems like an awful lot of trouble to me, and it's probably dearer than buying it from a shop anyway. At least I buy the organic, stoneground, wholemeal stuff.
