~TT~ Wieners

Charity: I want you to know that I am completely against doing this list. It is bad enough that you have to be leashed Sharon but now this???? A subject that no matter the editing it is gonna come off naughty....
Charity: Why can't we do cookies?
Sharon: OH come on.. its your Thanksgiving! Time to be thankful for Wienies!!
Charity: I don't have wieners on Thanksgiving.
Sharon: everyone should have wieners on Thanksgiving
Sharon: like. rubbing your full belly as you lay back on the couch and think "damn.. I just had the best wiener ever"
Charity shakes her head, "so you had wieners on your Thanksgiving?"
Sharon: grins.  Yup.. served something called Wiener Winks... hot dogs and Gouda cheese wrapped in sour dough then pan fried.
Charity sighs, "seriously? FINE it is a Wiener ~TT~ then."
Sharon fist pumps, "YESSSSSSSS!"
Charity: I will start, Lil Smokies in some sort of sauce, I usually put them in a crock pot with my fave BBQ sauce of the month.
Sharon: oh nice.. and easy too I"ll bet
Charity: yes....go ahead and say it.....you like easy wieners.
Sharon blushes. Guilty as charged. *Coughs*. Moving right along now... I'm going to suggest the Mexican Wienie Steamie.... stuff your fave wiener down the middle, stuff with jalapeno cheese AND diced jalapenos. So so so good.
Charity: okay....how to do you get it down the middle? Do you have to hollow out the wiener first? Get all the wiener filler out?
Sharon: Dude. You just grab the wiener, take your knife and go all Lorena Bobbit on it. Down the middle.. split that sucker wide open and stuff with the goods. THEN serve in  your fave kind of bun.
Sharon: You need a wiener education.
Charity: Well you didn't say that. You said to STUFF it down the middle.
Sharon: I didn't think I had to enlighten you about stuffing a wiener. You have 3 kids.
Charity: I have 3 kids because I DON'T go Bobbit on wieners.
Sharon: Touche!
Charity: Just sayin...okay next up. This one is for Paul....he wanted to make sure that his favorite wiener got put onto the list and asked that we add Polish Sausage. My fave comes from Costco and grilled up? The snap and the juice....damn fine mention without complications....just grill. Also here is a secret for the onions...soak a sliced sweet onion in coke. For about an hour or more depending on the time you have. Put those in a pan and carmalize them. These onions are the perfect addition to a wiener.
Sharon grins, "Cheers Paul!"... "who doesn't like a good dose of Polish meat from time to time?"
Sharon: Okay .. so back to edible wieners..... I like to freak out my own kids by using wieners without the bun. Like as a 'meat' with rice. I make something called Creole Dogs.. which involves wrapping diced wieners in bacon and serving over spicy rice
Charity: Here is a kid friendly one for you moms out there and dads too really. You want to be the hero of a rainy day lunch? Make Mac-n-Cheese and warm ya up some hotdogs using your own personal favorite brand of weiner and cooking method and then? Take a small knife and very carefully cut the bottom 2/3 of the dog into strips. The end result will resemble an octopus if you make enough swipes of the knife. Put the Octopus Wiener on top of a pile of mac-n-cheese and splay out those arms! I swear to you the kids will think you are a rock star!
Sharon: Oh yeah.. that is a good one. Then they make them dance.. and .. yeah totally fun you gotta have fun with your wiener.
Sharon: Except I don't like my kids playing with their wiener at the table.
Charity: You have to have limits.
Sharon: S'all good parenting, my friend.
Sharon: Alright.. so lets talk hot dog chili.. its kinda fun to have little medallions in the chili.... just replace 1/3 of the meat you'd normally use for sliced up dogs.
Charity: My turn? Something that I crave in the fall is Gumbo. I live no where near the south any longer but moving away did not make me give up my favorites. I love good gumbo and one of my fave wieners to put in the pot is kielbasa. I chop that sucker up and because it is a mild spiced wiener the kids won't complain about the heat.
Sharon: I've never had gumbo!!
Sharon: You know another good, warm and satisfying use of wieners is something i haven't made in quite a while... its a Bavarian kind of stew.. with potatoes, mushroom soup, sauerkraut.... serve with big warm chunks of bread.. very delicious and just regular hot dogs.. or you may try a German sausage with a bit of a spicy kick
Charity: I had awhile ago added to a kid friendly list a purple soup. It had bratwurst and purple cabbage in it was a complete and total accident. The entire soup turned this bright purple color and the kids loved it.
Sharon: you know an easy one for those with kids is the classic tater tot wiener casserole add lots of cheese and its all good
Charity: I have never made that classic. BUT here is what my mom used to do with leftovers....She would split the hotdog down the middle and put left over mashed potatoes on the wiener boat, covered it with shredded cheese and broiled it until it was bubbly and hot. I remember it being yummy but I haven't been able to make it yummy myself so I wonder if it is just a kid thing. Dunno.
Sharon: oh yum... what did she call it?
Charity: uh....she called it.....Hotdogs stuffed with Potatoes?
Sharon: I'm good with that. You're mom's cool. . and clearly loves her wieners.
Sharon: Okay I cant believe we're at the end  already. See how fast things go when its all about the wiener? So lets finish with the big one..
Charity: You said the same thing about Naked Chocolate.
Sharon: and we did not disappoint!
Sharon: okay .. so here we go. Deep breath Char.
Charity gets ready to edit......
Sharon: Wiener Pie. Lots of long stiff wieners.... nice soft pie shell with the tips sticking through the top... Its nearly orgasmic.
Sharon: but um.. I can show you a pic .. cause it IS a real pie... I kid you not.
Sharon: but BE WARNED.... we didn't make it.... here's a  link to give props to the chef that made it..... but WARNING! WARNING! ... its a little naughty. Ron? Only link if you're lady love is not around
Sharon: http://www.flickr.com/photos/anajune/92977530/
Sharon runs
Charity: And THAT folks is another ~TT~ from The Accidental Cooks. Have fun with your food no reason not to. Unless you are Sharon and your cooking has to have its own content rating.

Minty Cocoa

Hot cocoa is perhaps my favorite winter treat and with Starbucks now thrusting a MINTY hot cocoa at me at every corner of nearly every street I am far too tempted.

So here is a knock off that I think tastes better for a fraction of the cost...no offense Starbucks people.

Use milk. That is one of the secrets to great cocoa. I use Nestle cocoa mix. The giant container from Costco....that is how much cocoa we go through around here. So I put a lot of cocoa in mine. I like the thick decadence and am good about only having one or two cups a day. One in the morning and maybe one at night. But that is only on occasion. Now here is the good part. No matter how much cocoa you like in your cup or if you prefer water to milk....get ya some Peppermint Mocha creamer. Add a little at a time to taste test and let me tell you....I'm hooked and don't need to spend $4.55 on a grande nothin!

I would advise that you drink carefully and not spill on any boobage that might be peaking out of your pajama tank top. Not only does it burn but also leaves small cocoa stains for members of your house to go....just learn how to drink today? How'd that happen? Blah blah blah MIND YOUR BUSINESS and leave me to my minty cocoa!

Anyway...I highly suggest you try it out and if you have any mix in type things you would like to share please do so in the comment box!

Can we talk about the bird?

Hello folks! Since Thanksgiving is coming up (not for Sharon since Canada already had theirs....and notice how she didn't share her recipes....). For those of us in the US that are preparing for one of the most stressful holidays for some I thought I would take a moment to talk about how I have struggled through the years with the turkey.

My first take at trying to cook a turkey? I called my mom to make sure I had it all right and the bird was already in the oven. She was so proud and then she asked me if I was going to use the giblets for gravy. Pfft MY turkey did not come with any I informed her....and then she told me to take the turkey back out and check BOTH ends for the baggy. Good thing it had only been in the oven for 10 minutes at that point cause yeah my turkey sure did come with those.

The next turkey took several hours longer than it was "supposed" to and I had been struggling to get the skin golden brown and so yeah....the bird was dry and although it wasn't "National Lampoons" dry no amount of gravy brought it back....

How about we skip ahead a few years. Now some years the turkey was better than others and finally I was able to make a consistently okay turkey. Nothing to call my mama about but okay and good for sandwiches the next couple of days....that is until last year when my mama came to Thanksgiving. I had gotten a brand new electric roaster. Oh it is a beautiful thing! So I tenderly separated the skin from the breast and slathered herb butter all along the flesh before covering the skin back and then the skin? More herb butter! Also....make sure you dry 'ol Tom with paper towels cause you want the skin to be nice and dry before you butter him up for browning. Anyhow....so I put the turkey in the roasting pan at 350. And went about cooking all the sides to go with.

No one told me that a roasting pan will cook faster but it makes sense really since the heat is in a smaller contained area than an oven. So instead of everything being done at the same time the bird was done...and I started to panic. I turned the roaster down to almost off enough left just to keep things warm in there and didn't touch the lid. I left it on to keep the heat in there....in another two hours or so when it was time to eat? The turkey had two hours to rest just on warm and I kid you not that was the BEST turkey I have ever eaten.

I am a dark meat type person. I like the thighs and all that under meat that is sopping in juices. But when the breast was so moist that each bite released juice? I couldn't help but want to take the entire bird for myself and eat my way into a turkey induced coma. So this year? I am doing the same thing. Cooking it to perfection and then letting it sit in the juices until dinner is ready.

I have to say that the the butter makes all the difference and sometimes what might seem like another crappy turkey story can end up being really good.

And.....unlike my mom I have never set a turkey on fire. Most everything that I have learned about cooking started with my mom. Turkey is not fire friendly. Just an little FYI from me to you :)

I hope all of your dishes come out to be damn good if not perfection!

~TT~ Holiday fare!

Happy Thursday Everyone! After you come on in and settle in for a bit make your way over to the other ~TT~ lists! http://thursday-13.com/

Sharon: 13 Must make Items for the holiday season
Charity: okay thanksgiving or christmas?
Charity: just holiday in general?
Sharon: Christmas bish... Canadians are SO done with that a month ago!
Sharon: we came, we stuffed, we moved on
Charity: yeah but we haven't had it yet LOL
Charity: Just cause you all have that premature issue doesn't mean that we have to be quick draws as well. But okay holiday in general.
Sharon: don't make me whack you with bacon
Charity: mmm bacon
Sharon: or go all poutine on your ass
Charity: Okay I will start.
Sharon: k.. stick to the topic! Cause peeps need food
Charity: Turkey. I know its something that shouldn't have to be listed however I have a confession. Last Thanksgiving I nearly ruined the bird. What happened was....I had been given an electric roaster for my birthday and had not used it til then. No one told me that in a roaster the stuff cooks faster than if it were in the oven and so three hours before dinner? The turkey was done. I didn't panic completely though cause my mom had a ham going in her roaster. But that said it was pretty damn embarrassing for my parents to come to MY house for Thanksgiving and I ruin the bird! So I turned the roaster off and let the bird sit in the heat and when we started to slice it 3 hours later? All of the turkey was moist! It was the best turkey I have ever had....So this year I am making it the same way. Also....people.....make an herb butter and rub it under the skin.....do not be afraid it adds flavor trust me. Just go slow and take off your rings ladies.
Sharon: okay..let me add in a new side dish then for this turkey feast... something I made this year for our Thanksgiving like a MONTH ago.... and it was amazing. A different take but Balsamic Glazed Squash... its super easy, hardly any ingredients and even kids (shocker!) will eat it
Charity: You have a thing for squash.
Sharon: well my kids eat it .. i need to run with that
Sharon: But okay.... another good side I tried recently? Shredded Maple Mustard Brussel Sprouts. .. that way kids dont' realize its brussel sprouts and they are good. cause of the maple syrup (dear god no one use table syrup)
Charity: Okay as an app....Deviled Eggs. I recently read an article in I believe it was Food Network Magazine, on all the different ways you can make the filling. Always make a plate of classic and then? Try at least one other way to make them. Search online for different ideas and don't be afraid to try something new. I like to make little note cards that say what it is and if I have never made it before in a different color in the corner write *NEW* or *NEW ITEM* it is a fun way to decorate and people will always offer up their opinion where as they are less likely if they think you make it like that all the time and they don't want to hurt your feelings on your go to plate.
Sharon: ohhhh yeah can't go wrong there!  Soft, but firm.. reminds me of how my breasts used to be before kids.
Charity facepalms
Sharon: shrugs. okay another amazing holiday appie? Can't go wrong with a creamy & cheesy lobster crab dip. Ultimate yum
Charity: okay you get to think up the next one too cause I have to go make myself some eggs and toast. Never....ever.....make a ~TT ~ list without first having eaten. It feels a lot like grocery shopping while starving.
Sharon: I know! okay how about another appie.. cause really? lets face it... its ALL about the appies this time of year.
Sharon: heh okay folks? while she's gone? I won't be censored... *smirks*
Sharon: now then ... lets discuss some appies that you can eat without getting crap stuck in your teeth... and not messy enough to ruin that hot new dress you're wearing. Unless of course you strategically drop a dollop of crab dip on your cleavage and that hottie from Accounting sees it, salivates and dives into your boobs like he's bobbing for apples.I'm SO okay with that kind of appie. Seriously... Christmas parties bring out the ho ho ho in me. *coughs*
Sharon: Rolling along now.. I"m a big fan of goat cheese. A super duper EASY 2 minute appie is Goat cheese spread over tomato pesto. Guys? listening? Chicks will cling to you if you bring this .. bake it til its warm then add some garlic crostini and you, my friend, will be unwrapping more than just presents that night if you know what I mean.
Sharon: okay.. can't have an appie and not discuss weiners.
Sharon: so....
Charity: uh...the censor is back now....
Sharon: *&%$$%^*(
Sharon: hi
Charity: Hey there....*slaps Sharon's hands*
Sharon: whistles innocently . Just doing some public service announcements
Charity: you have already talked about breasts and crab dip in the cleavage. You will have to save the weiner talk for next week....and we are doing cookies so the public should be safe.
Sharon: did i ever tell you about the penis cupcakes I made for a fundraiser?
Charity sighs and edits.
Sharon: okay! cookies... I found a new recipe for double vanilla sugar cookies and will be baking up some snowflake shaped ones for all the special peeps in my life.
Charity: okay I will be checkin the mail soon then.
Charity: Okay so....balance is always key. You want to have some warm dishes and some cold ones. Have tart green olives with feta cheese stuffed inside. You can have veggies with dips because those will clean out the rich flavors and allow your guests to not have too much of a good thing and go into comas.
Sharon: yeah comatose peeps at Christmas parties suck. They end up getting magic marker pictures drawn on exposed body parts. Kinda funny... so long as its not you.
Sharon: hey you know what? One thing about the holidays is that its pretty busy. I recently read some article that offered up some "make ahead"' casseroles. Not a bad idea. One was this Tex-Mex Casserole with monterey Jack cheese... beef, hot peppers... tortillas.. it was very different and kinda cool if you're down with a little mexican in your holdiay food.
((Charity: I am incredibly shocked she did not take that last bit farther. I mean wow! I am proud of her for censoring herself there...but I wasn't about to say anything cause maybe she didn't realize it?))
Charity: Okay how about we talk about pie....I am a lover of pie. Be it pumpkin or pecan, apple or cherry I love me some pie. That said I am a firm believer that cherry pie needs to stay in summer time. I love all you home cooks out there I do....and I KNOW your pies are the best cause really? My dad's pumpkin pie? You can't touch but if you do not have all that time and a costco is near you? Get one. Have you tasted their pumpkin pie?....a moment of silence please.....can you hear that singing in the background? Top it with fresh whipped cream and you are a hero and no one will care that you did not labor over that pie.
Sharon: Okay sister... back way up .... no one puts cherry pie in a corner
Sharon: that's a four season staple...
Charity: I like my cherry pie in the summer.
Charity: Just like I don't eat pecan pie in the summer
Sharon: .........
Charity: you have your quirks and I have mine.
Sharon: okay how about strawberry rhubarb pie? or is that too June for you?
Charity: nah you put that on up there....and I don't like your tone. Shall we talk about the liver and onions you are enjoying?
Sharon: omg i added thai sauce to it
Sharon: it STILL was major suckage
Sharon: how we doing for numbers? I dunno if readers are still with us.
Charity: we need two more
Charity: oh non wine drinks!
Sharon: wtf.. those exist?
Charity: Have two crock pots going and you can spice some apple cider in one and hot cocoa in the other. Have some spirits nearby in case people want to add to their glasses and you are all set. To hot cocoa? Add a splash or three of peppermint schnapps. My mom calls it a peppermint patty.
Charity: And the cider? You can always add some rum or vodka or whatever makes your heart go pitter patter. BUT the point it the crocks are left untouched by the alcohol so the kiddos can safely ladle til their hearts are content.....a note on the cocoa? Don't be cheap. Use milk instead of water if you are using powdered chocolate. It really makes the cocoa taste like you went out and paid a coffee shop to make it for you.
Sharon: look at you adding chocolate! Atta girl
Charity: And a non chocolate option for our friend Sherilee who isn't a big chocolate fan!
Sharon: Wait.. does this mean I don't get to discuss weiners?
Charity: Nope. We are done with our ~TT~ for this week. Maybe next week.....maybe
Sharon plots....

**Tune in next week when we list holiday cookies and see how long I can come up with topics that Sharon won't be able to list weiners!**

~TT~ For Ron and his Beloved

Like to read Thursday Thirteens? Well there are so many good ones to be found at
 http://thursday-13.com/  Stop over there and see what all the buzz is about every Thursday!

Sharon: okay
Sharon: ready?
Charity: I need some wine first. No naked list this week but I think wine should always be encouraged.
Sharon: ok
Charity: okay I am back and am armed with a full glass of wine....well maybe not full I might have taken a drink on the way back to the computer.
Sharon: Nice! So.. we have a very important TT to do
Charity nods, "yeah the "I'm Sorry" menu.
Sharon sighs.... "the I"m Sorry I've been on the computer too long" menu
Charity laughs, "I think she took offense to the naked parts of our blog not that he was on the computer."

Charity: okay down to business! First item to list should be a great bottle of wine. If she is a red lover my favorite red right now is Reunite Lambrusco. A white type sipper.....or guzzler... it is a toss up for me between Barefoot Moscato and Yellowtail Moscato.
Sharon: OR... can't go wrong with a good dessert wine.. ice wine ... from Ontario. I would recommend Inniskillian
Charity: Oh good suggestion! Okay so then go for a nice salad...and Ron? Make it courses. So give her one bit at a time....start with wine then bring out a simple salad with her favorite dressing.....I like to make ranch dressing at home, but really there are lots of bottles out there that she might like too.....here is the IMPORTANT PART homemade croutons. Very simple but they will show how much she is your beloved like you told us she is!
Sharon: How about a nice antipasti plate?
Charity: Okay and your favorites?
Sharon: Salami?
Sharon: ok ok ok.. my mind is totally in the gutter today.
Sharon: how about some nice ripe tomatoes, bocca cheese with a pomegranate vinaigrette drizzled over top
Charity: Cheeses. I love to go to the cheese monger and sample, don't take anything home you haven't tried though. Could be stinky! Or even crusty bread, a good olive oil and balsamic vinegar, cheese and deli meats.
Sharon: absolute.. good call. And Ron? You cannot go wrong with sour dough bread. Trust me.
Sharon: Okay so a simple soup.... Char its time for your tomato one. Ron needs us on this
Charity: Oh yeah the tomato is really all that however....I hate to say it however now I might dare I? i found a recipe in Gwyneth Paltrow's cookbook “my father's daughter” for a white bean soup that I cannot get enough of. Of course I doctor it a bit and add a ham hock for added flavor but really it is light and lovely and I am making it Friday for my mom. It is THAT good.
Sharon: Gwyneth doesn't eat. Must be a ghost writer.
Charity: Okay Queen of the Gold Fish diet.....
Charity: If anyone wants to know the recipe how I make it let me know I will gladly share....okay so with this soup take some of the bread from earlier and dip it.
Sharon: okay .. but honestly lets get to the meat. Lets give Ron a few choices here.
Sharon: nice soft pork tenderloin with spicy Thai reduction.. and BOOYAH he's back in business
Charity: hmmm good option Shar....however I am going to have to throw down roasted cornish game hens. They are individual size and roasted with herbs and butter to crisp the skin up? How beautiful is it to have a mini chicken center on a plate with sides?
Sharon: Well.. I'm sure Ron appreciates the breasts.
Charity: Me? I am all about the thighs....but MOVING ON
Sharon: sighs
Sharon: okay side dish? crisp.. lightly flavoured with garlic.. asparagus
Charity: A pot roast in a crock pot is a nearly never ever screw up thing.
Charity: Oh I love asparagus as a side. You also cannot go wrong with the Pioneer Woman's mashed potatoes. They are life changing.
Sharon: yes. epic on the mashed, full agreement
Sharon: Okay by now Ron's wife should be on the road to forgiving him.. what we gonna bring this home with.
Charity: More wine.
Sharon: This is why I love you my bish. To Ron and other men reading this? Always more wine.
Charity: Pour it for her....it makes the I'm sorry I love you all the better...so after you refill her wine here is something that will both satisfy the non chocolate lovers as well as those that like sweet and savory together.....now trust me on this....I never liked goat cheese until now. It doesn't have a name I can bold though...so yeah we will come up with a name soon.
Charity: Small baguette round brushed with a reduction of brown sugar, canned pear juice, and butter. Then....top with a bit of creamy goat cheese....the pears which you cooked in the brown sugar and butter until they are just warmed through with a bit of the sauce drizzled over the top.....
Sharon: wow. why can't you make that for me when I come to visit?
Charity: I did.
Sharon: oh yeah! Then we watched Paranormal Activity
Sharon: we ate a lot that day
Charity: yeah we really did...and then couldn't sleep cause we kept seeing doors move.
Sharon: omg yeah... ok lets not get Ron off track here.
Charity: Oh right....now if you are dead set against goat cheese? I would go for a crumble. You can use stone fruits which are plentiful and with a little corn starch and sugar, some oats and brown sugar you can bake up signature comfort food....top with ice cream.
Sharon: gourmet coffee for afterward.... make a strong finish
Charity: and yeah coffee and she will let ya have your keyboard back in no time!
Charity: Okay we got it
Sharon grins, "yeah .. I think Ron's out of the dog house"
Charity: well if he goes for it and tells her how we are not all bad on our ~TT~ posts....

**Note....I did a lot of editing to make this a Ron appropriate post. There was talk about raw oysters and shucking....so I think we earn some points there right? Also....see where Sharon did not deny her goldfish cracker addiction? Just want there to be witnesses is all. End of note have a great day! Happy cooking!**

Another NAKED ~TT~

We have been terrible ~TT~ participants but are trying to be better. We were going to do 13 comfort foods for fall however this morning Sharon was inspired it seems to be naked with chocolate. We have tried to keep it pretty PG and so some very naughty and enticing things were left off the list...it could have been so very much worse.

After you check out our list go on over and visit the other ~TT~ people at http://thursday-13.com/

Charity:‎ Uh why arent you home? Cause this is your day off woman!
Sharon:‎ Lol yeah never a full day off
Charity:‎ You had to go in??
Sharon:‎ No just run to a print shop
Charity:‎ Okay I'm good with that.
Sharon:‎ While I wait you wanna do TT? I'm thinking chocolate. And nakedness makes chocolate better
Sharon:‎ Start off easy... Salted caramel chocolates
Charity:‎ Okay I do need to ask though....doesn't chocolate taste amazing without being naked?
Sharon:‎ Sure but being naked just assures you don't eat too much. It's like being passive aggressive with yourself.
Charity:‎ I buy that....moving on. Let's list a classic cliche for romantical moments. Chocolate dipped strawberries. Now I prefer to dip them in warm chocolate not the hard kind. When the strawberry is cold and the warm chocolate....yeah it is just....yeah.
Sharon:‎ God you're a classy bish. Good call.
Charity:‎ Yeah I know I got it like that.
Sharon:‎ Ok well keeping with the theme, can't go wrong with a chocolate fountain. Just be careful you don't get forked.
Charity:‎ I thought the point of naked chocolate eating was to get....Nevermind. I think chocolate fountain is okay but normal people don't have those laying around.
Sharon:‎ What!
Sharon:‎ Well ok moving on.
Charity:‎ Chocolate cheesecake bites. So little squares of amazing.
Charity:‎ Easy enough to pop in your own mouth or someone else's AND no fork.
Sharon:‎ Omg yeah. Sounds good
Sharon:‎ I'm not above a little forking
Charity:‎ Then you need to get with that. Just sayin.
Sharon:‎ Wahaha!!!! Ok ok. Next!
Sharon:‎ I'm thinking Oreo truffle balls
Charity:‎ I have never had an oreo truffle ball.
Sharon:‎ They're great.. Super duper easy.
Sharon:‎ Good with milk
Charity:‎ Chocolate chip pancakes for the morning after breakfast.
Sharon:‎ I add bananas.
Charity:‎ lol of course you do.
Sharon:‎ Extra moisture. Good god. Bananas, forking, balls... This is gonna be an NC 17 TT
Charity:‎ Okay I once saw a recipe for tenderloin that they rubbed with cocoa powder for seasoning.
Sharon:‎ No way! Using chocolate on your meat? Niiiice
Charity:‎ I know!
Sharon:‎ And while we're discussing meat..... Chocolate covered bacon
Charity:‎ Okay I tried to do the candied bacon thing and it turned out bad. I didn't like it at all. I'm not sure I can jump on the chocolate covered bacon train.
Sharon:‎ Omg bish trust me. I'm Canadian I know my bacon capabilities
Sharon:‎ Gotta use dark chocolate though
Charity:‎ Okay okay I defer to your brilliance. I'm not a fan of dark chocolate either. This one you are going to have to make for me. So I am going to suspend belief until future proof is provided.
Sharon:‎ Lol deal.
Sharon:‎ Your turn
Charity:‎ hot fudge sundae.
Sharon:‎ Oldie but a goodie
Sharon:‎ Ok this is a showstopper. ... Chocolate "omg I wet my pants" cake. Cadbury chocolate, fudge gooey centre, whipped cream.
Charity:‎ and you just talked yourself into sharing that recipe!
Charity:‎ speaking of chocolate cake though...how about Better Than Sex Cake. I'm not lying that is the name and my MOTHER is the one that shared the recipe with me.
Sharon:‎ Whoa. Quite the family Char. I gotta party with your mom
Charity:‎ Yeah I know
Sharon:‎ How many is that?
Charity:‎ Let me count
Charity:‎ 11
Sharon:‎ Oh wow. Time flies when it's chocolate
Sharon:‎ Rocky road bars! We haven't mentioned nuts yet
Charity:‎ We have mentioned everything else but nuts.
Charity:‎ Okay warm nut filled brownie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
Sharon:‎ Damn... I um... Oopsies. Was it good for you?
Charity:‎ Did you lick chocolate off your wallet again?
Sharon:‎ Well that was a one time show. The poor guy that saw it is still recovering
Charity:‎ Hand him our naked chocolate menu to help him out.
Sharon:‎ Lol yeah. That'd kill him
Charity:‎ Dare ya.
Sharon:‎ Damn you!!
Charity:‎ I know.

**Yes we realize that two grown women that dare each other to do things are a bit stuck in their childhood. However...I have to suggest that you go up to a coworker one day and dare them to dance around the office or something silly and fun and it will make both of have a brighter day.**
