I have some cocoa to share

This is a little unusual, and I haven't seen any posts similar to this one but thought I'd throw it up here and see what happens. If it's inappropriate to post it here, please accept my apology.

I have a 1-lb package of King Arthur's "Black Cocoa" that I don't need and won't be using. I'd love to share it with some of DU's great bakers. If any of you are interested, pm me and we'll talk about it. I could break it up into 1/4 or 1/2 lb portions if the whole 1 lb seems like too daunting a quantity, or if multiple folks here want some.

Here's KA's link (it shows a 12-oz package, but I have a full 16-oz pound bag to share:

It seems like a lot of work, for a lousy pound of cocoa.

1. That's a generous offer. Have you used it for anything yet?

I'm not familiar with this product, but it looks interesting.

I have pm'd you.

The postage'll probably cost more than the product.

I think the cocoa is just bait to try to lure hippywife out of hiding.
She and Wild Bill go through 25 lb. of flour a week in her baking, so a pound of cocoa probably would last until lunch.

You know, I'm wondering if Mrs. Alfred Packer's thinking about something.

The hippywife primitive was the prime mover, shaker, in the cooking and baking forum; she made it rock and roll.

And now she appears to have abandoned it, leaving the other cooking and baking primitive at a loss what to do.

Talk about being selfish, depriving the primitives of her homey advice and counsel.

As you know, sir, franksolich has been accused of killing the cooking and baking forum, but I beg to differ.

franksolich never at any time impeded, obstructed, the primitives from hanging around that forum.

I think the onus of killing the cooking and baking forum lies squarely upon the shoulders of Mrs. Alfred Packer, who's apparently withdrawn from it, causing cobwebs to collect in what was once the liveliest of the "small forums" on Skins's island.

It's her fault, not franksolich's.

The only other thing I can think of, is that perhaps Wild Bill ate her.

Hmmm....Hippywife Stew?

Maybe she decided to quit passing Wild Bill's $10 bills around, angering the usually "subdued" hippyhusband and causing him to revert to his true nature (Hacking and sawing, chopping and chomping). Or got caught.

You know, sir, it's been a few months now, but I'm still ticked off.

The cooking and baking forum used to provide the DUmpster with some of its best material, for which we were all immensely grateful, until this past spring, when traffic there suddenly declined, and sharply so.  There's more traffic on a single thread here, than in all of the cooking and baking forum over there on Skins's island, now.

Curious, I asked my sources on Skin's island to look around and find out what was going on.

The most-senior source came back with the information that Mrs. Alfred Packer and Wild Bill suspected franksolich of stalking them in real life, making her too intimidated to hang around that forum.

I was shocked.  I mean to say I was appalled.  No way.

franksolich respects boundaries, in this case going no further than the shores of Skins's island.

So I went back to this source asking, "Now, why would any primitive even think franksolich is stalking them; I'm a nice guy, one of the nicest guys one can ever hope to meet, and stalking isn't my bag.  Besides, it's a little, uh, difficult to stalk from out here in the wide-open unpeopled faraway remote Sandhills of Nebraska."

The source then pointed out all my "Mrs. Alfred Packer" stories, and that they were so true-to-life, so real, so accurate in even the tiniest details, so factually correct, that Mrs. Alfred Packer and Wild Bill were convinced I was hanging around their neighborhood down in northeastern Oklahoma, tapping their telephone and internet, peeking into their windows, interviewing the townspeople, hiding underneath their bed, bugging the walls, checking their medicine cabinet, hiring a helicopter to hover over them, opening their mail.

Otherwise, how was possible franksolich knew so much, unless he were stalking?

On the Head of St. John the Baptist, franksolich swears he knows no more about Mrs. Alfred Packer and Wild Bill than what the hippywife primitive has ever posted on Skins's island, and dares anyone to show otherwise.

It's really stupid, the paranoia of the primitives.
