2. chocolate

Of course, the only thing I love nearly as much as Troy is chocolate. Dont act like you're shocked.

I wish I had some unique or interesting perspective on chocolate, or some amazing insight that makes me love it more than other women.

I do not.

I love chocolate for all of the right reasons:

1. tastes amazing
2. the texture of good chocolate is smooth and soothing. the best texture is dove extra dark. Hershey has the worst texture.
3. endorphines. seriously.
4. it always makes me feel better. it can cure a cold, belly ache, head ache, cramps, bad mood, hunger. its like the cocaine doctors used to give patients. Cure-all.
5. dark chocolate is good for you in small doses.
6. aphrodisiac.
7. it is good with anything and everything. i have yet to find something that chocolate does not improve or complement.
8. diverse. which is different than #7. aside from tasting good with anything, it also can be used in many recipies. several holidays are dependent on chocolate in my mind. it comes in many forms, shapes, sizes, ect.
9. it makes one feel surprisingly rich. I could not have a penny to my name, but if i have a chocolate bar in my hand, i feel like coco Chanel or Liz Taylor (only younger)
10. it will always be there for me. it is accessible, cheap, easy to find and make, and will never let me down.

I wont go into my life story involving chocolate the way i did about troy, but i am a chocolate snob.

I do not eat Hersheys chocolate, if I can help it. Dont get me wrong, chocolate is chocolate, but given a choice, I will pick something with a little more taste.

chocolate with chili peppers is amazing. Mayan chocolate. mmmm.

I am not one for candy bars. I used to be, but as i grow older, I find that the extra sugar and added candies that used to appeal to me now just make it too sweet and ruin the taste.

I am learning to despise milk chocolate. I cant pin point when it happened, but dark is the way to go.

I am particular about the chocolate i eat in general. If i want smooth and silky, i choose dove. if i want crisp and bitter, ghiardelli. Rich and robust means Godiva. the best possible milk chocolate is wolfgangs. Wilbur chocolate is good too. many people dont know about them, but they are a small dutch chocolate company in Pennsylvania. I do not eat that colorful Target brand chocolate...whats it called? choxie or something like that? yuck. and. if it is wrapped in cheap foil with a bunny or pumpkin on it. i will not. eat. it.

and also crunch bars. yuck.


abuelta. amazing Mexican hot chocolate made by nestle.

by the by, i love the movie chocolat. and it has very little to do with johnny depp, contrary to popular belief.
