Sparky is on screen. Therefore, it is canon. Elizabeth is still out there. And John WILL bring her home.

The tally for Belgium sits at 20 dead and 20 still missing.
Got an email at work today from our CEO and apparently we have colleagues who lost everything or have suffered damage in the floods. My company has offices in all provinces of the country so we have French-speaking colleagues.

Cote d'Or chocolate rules but I'm also a big fan of Cadbury's.Heightmeyer's Lemming -- still the coolest Lemming of the forum

Depends on the recipe and the ingredients really.

I did a little digging around and found this...
But there is one significant difference between British and US chocolate among these other ingredients. The UK, like the rest of the EU, allows up to 5% non-cocoa vegetable fats to be blended with the crumb, along with cocoa butter. The US does not.
According to Beckman, this is the main difference between US-made and British-made Cadbury chocolate.
And yes, SK, I'm supposed to be reducing my sugar as well for health reasons and it's insane how much is in everything. (Note the wording - "supposed to be" hehehehe)

I just had my second night of under 2 hours sleep in a row. It's going to be so much fun working today.
