Mm. Chocolate.

September 8, 2009

Going out for dessert is a great way to keep the relationship with your kids alive and (sorry, I have to make a Dad joke) sweet.

UrbanChallenge37Bonding by chocolate. Is there anything finer for father and son to bond over than an obscenely rich chocolate dessert using 3 kinds of chocolate?

And yes, the bigger of the two boys had a very messy faceĀ  and hands afterwards.

    I made crispy rice treats for the family on Sunday. Used generic Rice Crispies and Marshmallows (tough economic times call for ingredients without trademarks.)

    Mmmmm…. chcoolate.

    You’re such a great dad, sharing and everything. I’m usually fending mine off with sticks :)

    MC, I made sure I had enough to spare. :)

    RR, and I bet they tasted just as good. You’re making me hungry!

    Anyone want to comment on the hypocrisy of me following up a post on healthy eating habits for kids with this one? :)

    Nah!

    Eatiing stuff like that, IMO is all party of an overall healthy eating plan – health isn’t just about your fat bum you know :D

    What you say about my bum?

    Indeed. I figure if I eat an apple and then a chocolate bar, that’s the definition of a balanced diet.

    My fat bum, I meant MY fat bum! You’ve got a very nice bum.

    Um, I heard!

    So long as the apple and choclate weigh the same and you have one in each hand, you should be right ;)

    (Oh, and regardless of the amount – I’m still fending my kids off with sticks. I don’t like sharing *pout* :) )

    It’s amazing how much power chocolate has. I read the title and I started salivating. Besides the fact that Pete is hoping his stock in chocolate will rise after teasing us with thoughts of cocoa goodness, I like that this post was followed by a rant on junk food. Part of a healthy lifestyle is having fun and enjoying the time we spend with people we love.

    So I won’t call you a hypocrite for posting this, not until I’ve finished eating my candy bar anyways.
