Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day

A self-described, now reformed Gummi Girl, I have recently given up my once shameful, closeted addiction to all things gummi, chewy, corn syrup based. Swedish Fish, Haribo Peaches, and yes- the juvenille taste for Sour Patch kids has all but left my sweet tooth repetoire. Good bye chew, hello chocolate.
Exquisitely dark, rich, seductive, silky, sensual, melt in my mouth, pure pleasure. How does one describe the experience of chocolate after years of never knowing, never appreciating...? What am I now? A Born Again? A Convert? A Chocolatier By Choice? Now a passion for work and play. It is my medium. I melt it, I shape it, I share it. And oooh yes... I eat it. And you? Would you consider it an appropriate day to indulge? On this, the Hallmark Holidays of all holidays (or as my husband refers to it as: an opportunity to fail if he fails to find my C-Spot)? Forgive me as I prostilitize but surely you may consider giving fine, dark chocolate a try. Think of it as a gift to yourself or someone you love. Consider it an acceptable indulgence as they (and who are"they" by the way?) tell us that in moderation, its actually good for us. 70% cocoa. Show yourself the Love. Love and chocolate everywhere today...
Husband. Love of my life. It's Valentines Day. Got chocolate?
