Don't get wrapped up in all you read. For us here, the plain old Hershey's cocoa in the dark brown rectangular box does just fine. I've bought, I think, every cocoa out there on the market...Not much difference except that, in the long run, I am partial to Giradelli's for drinking, and Hershey for baking.

This is a pretty close way to convert celcius to fahrenheit: Take the celcius temperature, double it, then add 30. So, for example, if the temperature up in Canada is 2 degrees celcius, here in the States, in REAL temperature  , it's 34 degrees fahrenheit!

I tried another brand that I think was called Veggie cream cheese and I threw it out. I hated the taste. The Tofutti is really good if you can find it.

Hi - Solid chocolate is a trigger for IBS because it's so high in fat, and it often has dairy in it. Cocoa powder (unsweetened baking cocoa powder, like Hershey's) has had the fat removed. And, in chocolate, the caffeine is tied to the fat, so when you remove one you automatically remove the other. Plain cocoa powder will also be just cocoa - no dairy or anything else added.
Have no fear - odds are you'll do just fine with the recipes made with cocoa powder.

i bought some of that exact stuff on the way home today. i stuck my finger in and doesn't taste too bad. would be good on a bagel with a little tad of jam on top..mmm also got bevr's famous amy's pizza. it was tasty but i had to add a lot of stuff to it, mushrooms, parsley, and tons more soy cheese. i think i prefer the homemade pita pizzas that i make though wayyy less fat. and doesn't take that long to prepare even for me.

Actually I'm not much of a pepperoni fan, but I love mushrooms, so usually put a few of those on. I was going to have one tonight, but stupidly ate some pureed vegetable soup without a soluble fiber, and am paying for it tonight!

Tofutti also makes a veggie cream cheese that would be really good with bagels, but is also good on warmed tortillas; in fact my 2 year old just stole mine and is sucking out all the Tofutti.
