Hiiii-aaaa!
Well did you know it is chocolate day today? Well now you do! Although it is a bit late telling you at 11.18PM isn't it? Sorry.
Chocolate day is perfect for all you chocoholics out there, and gives everyone an excuse to munch their way through a mountain of chocolate....mmmmm, a mountain of chocolate.
This means you can eat chocolate bars, melted chocolate, chocolate ice cream, chocolate mousse, chocolate chip cookies, chocolate pancakes, chocolate cereal....the list goes on. And you can eat it all with reason, and no need to feel guilty!
Here is an idea for your day:
Breakfast: coco pops and a maaaaaasssive hot chocolate with cream, marshmallows, and more chocolate.
Lunch: chocolate spread sandwich with a chocolate mousse yogurt and a glass of chocolate milk.
Dinner: hot chocolate fudge cake with chocolate coffee.
Snack: chocolate raisins
Midnight snack: some sort of chocolate bar
How perfect does that sound?!
And as usual there is no origin or creator of this day, but I am hazarding a guess that it might be something to do with the chocolate companies...hmmm....
So here is my challenge to you: tweet me @LovelyChubly #Chocoholic with your pictures of your awesome chocolate creations. Alternatively if you are Twitter-less then do post in the comments!
Here is my chocolate creation of pancakes with melted chocolate and banana!
That is all for today, speak tomorrow!
Toodle-oo!
Hiiii-aaaa!
Well today marks the start of the Ultimate Blog Challenge, and also the start of my UBC subject of the different and unusual holidays in the month of July! So without further ado, here begins post one!
Today (July 1) is also Creative Ice Cream Flavours Day - did you know that?! I didn't to be perfectly honest. I must say, I quite enjoy this new found holiday!
I think this day is perfectly placed really; it is the start of summer, and here in the UK the weather is FINALLY starting to look up (it is very sunny and warm where I live today!).
The main concept of this day is pretty much self explanatory - create your own ice cream flavour! Could you think of anything better?! You never know, your flavour that you create could be the next big thing!
Essentially just get creative!
Unfortunately, there is no knows record of who created this day, or where it originated from. Because of this, I am going to just say that it was some random ice cream parlour from many years back who thought it would be a great idea to make a day where you can just go nuts with your ice cream flavours!
Here is the challenge for today's holiday! I challenge you guys to get ultra-creative with your flavours. You can literally add anything to any flavour of ice cream and make it your own! So, I would like to see your pictures/suggestions in the comment box at the end of your post and I will post them on my blog! Or you can tweet me them @LovelyChubly with #CreativeIceCream
I will be making my own after dinner! I am adding chocolate chips, Haribo sweets and popping candy to vanilla ice cream. Not quite sure what the result will be, but it will be interesting for sure! Might top it off with some squirty cream and more chocolate....mmmm....that does sound good now. Maybe some chocolate brownie too?
I tell you what, you could host a crazy ice cream party! This is definitely something I am going to be doing when I get back to uni. Get each person to bring their own flavour of ice cream and a topping each, all muck in and create one giant awesome ice cream! Now that I would LOVE to see on my Twitter feed!
This ice cream here was what I treated myself to the other day, how amazeballs does that look?! It had cream, vanilla ice cream, fudge brownie, Cadbury's Dairy Milk pieces and loads more in it. Now that is what I call a creative ice cream!
That is all for today's UBC, peeps. I will be back with tomorrow's one around the same time in 24 hours!
Don't forget to post your pictures and suggestions in the comment box below, or tweet me them @LovelyChubly with #CreativeIceCream and I will reply to all your comments and tweets!
Toodle-oo!
