Yes! I always thought something like this would be my dream gift, especially
after suffering through years of gifts featuring the feline motif (call me a
stick in the mud, but I don't wear clothes with pictures of cats on them). Now
it seems chocolate is the gift of choice, and I do like it, but I think I've
figured out the problem-- there's no telling what will happen if you let me
loose with ten pounds of chocolate. Will I eat myself into a state of
delirium? Will I take a bite or two and be severely let down? Will the whole
ten pounds show up on the bathroom scale? The chocolate still sits on a
counter in the laundry room, only now there is a pile of clothes on top.
One would think I would get more LEGO, but no one seems to want to contribute
to the eccentricity of a grown woman who plays with construction toys. I did
get 7001 Young Iguanodon from a non-Lego friend and (my favorite!) the belly
button torso'ed actress minifig from a Lego friend.

If there were an off-topic.food, you know who the main contributors would be!
