It's made with cocoa butter, which is a derviative from the cocoa bean but has none of the coca solids that give real chocolate it's smell and flavor.Secret Agent Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07564690116156754219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7937298116504825290.post-90589804182662323902015-04-09T16:19:51.030+01:002015-04-09T16:19:51.030+01:00You don't know how much your picture helped me...You don't know how much your picture helped me.

I have been wondering what’s the difference between “narcissus” and “daffodil”, and I think I now understand; “daffodil” is the one with a bigger trumpet form and “narcissus” has a smaller face. Right? I like your balcony flowers and your selection of red Japanese quince and perhaps sakura at the event. Easter is not so observed in Japan, but I remember being happy with painted eggs given at my kindergarten run by Christian church. At any event, a cake with a cup of tea is tempting. Hope you had a lovely Easter, Jenny.<br /><br />Yoko<br />stardusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10684501661629146087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7937298116504825290.post-56117204595034113602015-04-08T23:15:57.610+01:002015-04-08T23:15:57.610+01:00Winter has loosened its grip on England today and ...Winter has loosened its grip on England today and we have what seems to us almost summery weather (I mean in the high sixties, which counts for summer here)Jenny Woolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16881781466502273314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7937298116504825290.post-16213389510753691622015-04-08T23:15:18.875+01:002015-04-08T23:15:18.875+01:00That is a very nice phrase Stephen.
