Paleoclimatologists have found that the "tar" in the La Brea Tar Pits is actually fossilized chocolate syrup. Recently, it was discovered that several "dinosaurs" were actually models constructed of fossilized maraschino cherries and toothpicks.

Once again you ignore the fact that a raise in temperature will minimize the syrup effect. Why do you always ignore the important parts I present?

I relay on pancaktologist research also. You ignore all that.

I think I've found the reason for the lack of communication on the subject of global warming:

to a point.
however, if the temp becomes too high/lasts too long - bad bad bad things will happen.

Wouldn't it caramelize?

How about chocolate on a cheese pizza? (Brazilian dessert pizza.) Or have you ever tried chocolate syrup on salad? (Mixed with some 'normal' salad dressing, of course. I thought not.)

chocolate is delicate. microwaves make life somewhat easier, i.e., double boilers aren't needed, but care is still required. i've never heard the word, "carmelized chocolate," but, burned chocolate, yes.

chocolate AND caramel .. swoon ..

i'm happy to say, i enjoyed a-full-cup of chocolate ice cream just before seeing this topic (a real treat for me) .. otherwise, this topic might be too painful to discuss! a full cup is now considered 4 servings! .. so, definitely a splurge.

no. 1 cup = 8 fluid ounces, 1/2 cup = 4 fluid ounces. 1 cup = 2 servings, not 4.
much better.

These are highly complex philosophical matters.
Which do you do?
Re Chocolate Bunnies: bite off the tail or the ears first?

Re Oreos: eat it whole or unscrew it and eat the filling first?

Re types of chocolate: dark or milk chocolate?

Re fillings: peanut butter or caramel?

Ah yes, chocolate can be a sticky subject: this could rival the epic debate of the Middle Ages over how may angels can dance on the head of a pin. A special commission to study these cocoa matters must be appointed immediately. What shall we all this commission? The International Committee for the Study of Global Chocolate Consumption and Development? That should be good for a billion dollar budget.

Erika,
Go thru my posting history here and you'll see my carnal nature has come out a few times...
Thank you for your humility.

Josh, i've appreciated your presence on forum, reading about your personal journey, and observing transformations of your spirit. i'm not nearly as frightened to respond to you as when you began. i have my own challenges to struggle with, none of us is exempt. i grieve that i may have harmed anyone.

while in an apologizing frame of mind, it would be "heartening" to read a word to Max, the OP, who requested posters return to the OP. twice. this is mostly an "honor system" courtesy, as described by admin, and, it was nicely described; but who better able to reflect an honor system than a bunch of folks seeking after the heart of Jesus Christ?

I'd rather talk to a real live person struggling with gender identity issues than talk about some book.

these are puzzling words.
.. you've decided Erika is a real live person, but others are not? (i support your right to do this.)
.. has anyone asked you to talk about "some book?" (i'm not aware.)
.. fwiw, from what has been posted, i don't perceive there are "gender identity issues," but, lots of struggling with anger, and, attitude. these are important carnal matters! not to be underestimated.

i posted above, hoping to describe improved relations.
i may have spoken too soon, with too much confidence.
i apologize for that. i will try to better mind my place.

Wouldn't it be good to better place your mind?
