Happenstance is also a 12 letter word

Experience can’t be taught they say.  I figure that’s because there are certain things which you’d never expect to need to know.

Pancakes taught me something I didn’t know tonight.  They taught me that trying to microwave 1/3 of a bar of Galaxy chocolate to use as filling (to go along with the fresh banana slices of course) is not a good a idea.  Not.  A.  Good.  Idea.

Is this because:

a) I should have used a Mars bar instead?
b) I should have used the entirety of the Galaxy?
or
c) A bar of chocolate isn’t like Nutella, or chocolate syrup.  Its clever trick is that it’s a solid at room temperature, and it falls back to room temperature at a rapid rate even after it comes out in molten form from the microwave.  In fact, it’s such a rapid solidification process that unless you can swallow molten chocolate, banana and 2 large american pancakes in … oh, about 0.05 of a second … forget it.  Don’t bother trying it…

And that was my little piece of experience for the evening.  I’m not doing too badly though - I’ve somehow managed to spread some of the chunks of chocolate on the top of the pancake, with the banana slices sandwiched inside.  Yumyum.  Ish.

Must remember to restock on cooking chocolate.  Or chocolate syrup.  Chocolate syrup has multiple uses - some messy, but that’s what showers are for I suspect.
