#JulyJam #ChocolateDay One that is still on the TBR . Chocolate mold was a thrift store find.

Eggs You have the most interesting books!! 2y
Leftcoastzen @Eggs awww , thanks! 2y
vivastory Not chocolate 🍫 related, but I was wondering if you still have criterion streaming and if so what your favorite recently watched movies have been on there 2y
Leftcoastzen @vivastory I discontinued Criterion. I might go back again , I found the search not very user friendly. 2y
vivastory I agree about the search function. Let me know if you do return so we can trade favorites 👍 2y

Microhistories are a fun way to learn more about very, very specific subjects. 🔬

1. I love all of the Mary Roach books I‘ve read. And the one I read about bananas was fascinating!
2. Oral storytelling.
3. Yummmmmm. 🍫

#SundayFunday Have a good day, and don‘t forget to tag me!

umbrellagirl I‘ve read some about food, tea, potatoes, the evolution of Indian food. Salt is on my TBR list, too. I would like one about umbrellas. 4y
BookmarkTavern @umbrellagirl One about umbrellas would be really interesting! Thanks for your comment! 4y

I love chocolate and I love this story. Lots of bonus material about chocolate at the end. The dedication is so touching.

This book takes you through the world of chocolate from its American origins to its current growth in many tropical places and its many manufacturers, focusing on the US and Europe. I enjoyed what I learned here, though it lacked narrative flow (it‘s more like a series of essays) and there‘s far too much focus on ultra high-end chocolatiers ($50+ per pound).

'I'll tell you what I want what I really, really want...' and that is chocolate. This is not book related, just a Litsy service announcement. I feel the urge to splurge on this chocolate... but I shall bide my time until Christmas, when the Costco gods look down on me in favor. 🍫🍫🤤 #Wannabe #90sInJuly

Playlist on Spotify: http://spoti.fi/2rLTsaO For this month's challenge!

Dragon I vote for the chocolate 🍫 and Christmas 🎄 in July 😂 7y
Lizpixie When I was healthier, I used to take the train into Sydney & windowshop around the QVB, Pitt St Mall, The Strand arcade & then I'd go to David Jones, spray myself with expensive perfume and test all the really expensive moisturisers. After that I'd head down to the DJ Foodhall in their basement where it's like a premium food market. They have an oyster bar, butcher, and they also have a Godiva Chocolate store where I'd splurge on a box of truffles 7y
Lizpixie Man I loved those chocolates! I wonder if I could bribe someone to go and buy me some?🤔 Oh, and speaking of chocolate, @thegirlwiththelibrarybag that Haigs chocolate frog was A-mazing! (edited) 7y

#TBRtemptation post 4! Might as well get this sweet piece of heaven into today's posts, lol. This is an in-depth look at chocolate from a major foodie. He visits cacao plantations; meets with growers, buyers, makers, tasters; shows the history of major business empires like Hershey's & Godiva's; and looks at the dark side of this food's vast international industry. You'll really know your chocolate henceforth 😉👍🏻😋. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎

WOCreads So many great non-fiction reads! 8y
