Friday chocolate

I'm not sure how long I can keep up with this. I'm running out of the easy and simple recipes.

Below is a low-carb recipe (not for those in their first two weeks of the South Beach Diet). I tried this miserable diet and failed. However, I have cut way back on my carbs except those found in chocolate, and fewer carbs do result in weight loss. Btw, I did try the hideous no-carb chocolate sold at Trader Joe's. Nope. Not worth the calories or the cost.

Chocolate-Dipped Strawberries

Melt semi-sweet chocolate.

Dip strawberries in them. (We still have strawberries out here if you visit the local farmers' markets).

Sprinkle with bits of pistachios or almonds.

Let the chocolate harden.

Eat.
