Default Re: Chocolate covered ______!

I'm definately NOT expecting!! I think we are done having kids... We thought about trying for another, but I'm just not a good baby-carrier. Both my kids were premature and with the last one I had to take a pill every 4 hours (even through the night) so that I could keep him in--and I still had him at 36 weeks! I dont know what it is, my body just thinks that come 30 weeks it's time to deliver!! My doctor DID say that I could have another one, but that it will definately NOT be a fun ordeal and that I'll more than likely be in the hospital come 30 weeks. So we are thinking we are probably done! I think I'd go crazy with more than two anyway!!

HAHA but I can still EAT like a pregnant woman. I tried chocolate covered watermelon last night--I really liked it. My husband gagged!

guys, am planning on covering a cupcake with chocolate, do i add shortening to the melted chocolate to thin it for easy dipping or pouring? i just hate for it to be really thick.

thanks!

I add a little olive or veg oil to mine, but I guess you could use shortening too. Same principle.

Are you my twin??? My first two were born premature also (35 and 36 weeks, nothing major but still) Almost had my 3rd at 34 weeks, but they stopped it all, and I had him at 39, but he was so sick they told me I should've had him at 34 weeks!!! Go figure! My body knew it, but they didn't listen to it! My two oldest were born big babies for that many weeks (6lbs 10 oz 18 inches, 6lbs 11 oz 19 inches) and the last one was very small and sick (6lbs and 21 inches) tall and all bones! Now he's short for his age but very healthy and full of life!

and talking of dipping in chocolate... hum
my sis gave me a few years ago some chocolate to paint on dh but since I don't really like chocolate (don't throw chocolate chips at me, I like very dark chocolate, but nothing too milky...) So it was the other way around, since dh loooooves chocolate

about a teaspoon per # I would guess, it does add shine too.
I hate to temper......but I do if I have to. which isnt often!
