What should I do with my Scharffen Berger chocolate?

Thanks for all the suggestions, although the comments saying that it's not as good as it used to be is a little disheartening. I'm thinking of going with some chocolate pudding and/or chocolate chip cookies. Still don't know what to do with my cocoa powder, but I'm sure I'll find some good uses :)
@cmtigger, I bought a bar of 62% cacoa and cocoa powder.

The Vegan Experience, Day 3: I'll Have That Without [X] Please

This is basically the same problem with eating kosher. I could make that recipe, but wait there's bacon in it, or wait there's chicken stock or just a teeny slice of cheese etc. etc. It's always that one small thing that makes it inedible to those following a strict diet. Mostly every recipe that I read that is not designed to be kosher has conflicting ingredients for my diet and I'm always finding new ways to reinvent things to become kosher.

Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 116: A Bite-by-Bite Rundown of My Calorie Intake

You really do not seem to be eating well. All of that excersize is not going to cancel out the enormous amount of calories you eat every day. It seems like you're going to need to start doing some serious calorie counting and realize the amount of calories you intake.

What kind of chocolate do you prefer?

I'm not crazy for chocolate, but when I do eat it must be dark. I thought the darker the chocolate= the more I like it, but I find that 70% is perfect.

Cook the Book: 'Good Eats: The Early Years'

My crazy Great Uncle got married without telling anybody, shows up at Thanksgiving and goes over to my mother (mind you, she was about 45) and says "Meet your new Auntie".
It was really hard to not to just burst out laughing. Whenever anyone is shocked about something in my family, we always quote him!

In Season: Brussels Sprouts

I have always loved brussles sprouts and always finished them at the table, stingily keeping the bowl of them near me throughout the meal. I actually only learned about a year ago that they were in the same kid-hated category as spinach and broccoli. I don't know where I was when I was a kid, but I had totally missed that I wasn't supposed to like it!
