To me, there is NO dessert in this world than those containing chocolate and bananas. To my dismay, my boyfriend would rather eat brussel sprouts. Has anyone ever tried this dessert with strawberries and keeping everything else the same? Can you tell me if you think this is a good/bad idea? I think I may try it....D

I apologize for being a nudge...me and bo are having a chocolate urge and I wanted to start making something since its almost 8 pm. Should I just use the deep dish baker (thats the round one?:blushing: ) or something else?
 
I also am not fond of chocolate and bananas, but can't wait to hear ant feed back you might give :) or maybe I will just try them myself bc they sound yummy ;)

Absolutely...some of us more than others. Im sitting here making labels for my son's school folders and notebooks (we were instructed to and what to label them). I'm adding clip art to them. He's going to have a fit when he sees this! Sighhh...if I had a girl, she'd be loving it. LOL..:blushing: Social Studies as a little globe, math has a cartoon of a kid at the chalkboard doing a math prob, Science has a solar system cartoonish thingy...etc...:o

He HATES to stand out. You know what? Im not even going to show him. When he goes to school on Wednesday and takes them out of his bookbag to throw in his desk it will be a surprise. He can mumble about me under his breath then!:D

I grew up with one sister who was 14 months younger so that's all I know. He has NO idea how I hold back on a daily basis! LOL! He'll have to suck it up and deal!;)
