cocoa darling
i bought myself a bar of dark chocolate today. this is a foreign concept for me. buying chocolate. and especially buying dark chocolate. i agreed with myself that i don't care much for chocolate. a choice between chocolate and vanilla would end in vanilla. we agreed that the only good part of a candy bar was the stuff inside. the chocolate outside was just a necessary evil. we never cared for solid chocolate. that would be like eating the macaroni without the cheese. the lasagne without the filling. the manicotti without the ricotta. and dark chocolate.. forget about it. we didn't like how it wasn't as sweet as milk chocolate.
but i've had a milky way midnight bar a couple times.. and i noticed how it would just make me feel.. happier. and i think everyone knows about the mood-lifting benefits of chocolate, with dark chocolate having the most of the stuff. so here's a second foodtype where i disregard taste and aversion and throw caution to the wind in order to enhance my mood with what i eat.
the first being seafood. you learn to like it because it makes you feel good. and, uh.. touchy feely. at least, i get that way.
my baby loves dark chocolate. and i like when i can be like him. because i admire and love and adore him so..
