I have been a bottomless pit this week. As in, all I do is eat, and I just want to keep eating!!! This "need" for desserts has severely influenced my week's correspondence. Grand total, about 20 emails pertaining to desserts per day between myself and two of my dessert-loving friends.
As in, this was my email on Wednesday morning:

Hi!
Its only 11:30, and I've already managed to completely hungrify myself.
I'm so bored at work, I've completely lost the ability to distinguish
the line between boredom and hunger.
Ellie - sorry not to get back to you!!! How was the fluff fest??? And
apple picking? You should make these cupcakes:

Miss you all!!!
-Mollie
Which was then responded to in triplicate (or maybe quadruplicate - is that a word?). Multiple times throughout the day. Basically, go "Reply All"!!!

b.) We are all retarded.
I laughed out loud over that one! Because we are absolutely ridiculous. In the best way possible.
So I just thought I'd share that day-o-emails with you all! Obviously, if you ever need a recipe, or any baking inspiration, we are willing and able to help you out!
I blogged last week about a Bacon Dark Chocolate Bar Boss #2 had given me (the verdict? YUM!). Here's another bizarre chocolate flavor for you: Coconut Curry Milk Chocolate.
Surprisingly (or maybe not), the Coconut Curry was much weirder than the bacon-flavored chocolate. Some office comments include: Interesting...That's just wrong...Disgusting.
But I kind of liked it. I mean, I really love curry, and spicy chocolate is good (anyone seen/read Chocolat?). My biggest issue was that there was shredded coconut in the bar, which interrupted the potential yummy-chocolatey-smootheness that I associate with milk chocolate.
So maybe buy a mini-bar of this one to try it out (if you're feeling like a chocolate-adventure).
With that, I bid you a good weekend...and happy eating!
