Carob... The Chocolate Alternative

So some people on this forum suggested I try carob, since I cannot eat chocolate. So today when I went to the Whole Foods store near my apartment for my normal grocery shop, I discovered carob ricemilk. I thought that would be a good way to ease myself into chocolate. And if I did react to it, hopefully it would not be so bad because the ricemilk would dilute it. Guess what. NO REACTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That makes me so happy. Of course maybe it was a horrible idea to try it, because instead of craving chocolate, and resisting the temptation, I'll be obsessed with carob. Who knows. But at least I know I can resist the candy at work now, so hopefully having the carob won't affect me wanting that. That would be bad. Oh well. But at least I found an alternative. I wonder if anyone would notice if I used carob in my cooking instead of chocolate? Hmmm.... It would be interesting to try.
so here I am, probably the first commenter on any of your blogs here
I want to start blogging here, too- just need to overcome some writers block/ lack of desire & type up a proper intro here
i also can't have chocolate, as it aggravates my bladder. I haven't really been able to find carob though, either that or it has soy in it (I *try* to avoid that as well)...
I'm sooo jealous that you have a Whole Foods there! we are supposed to get one here... someday... (you talking 'bout your baking, & Whole Foods... what're you trying to do, make me want to move back to SLC?? (the subject of moving back is a whole 'nother thing
