Food of the Gods

 

     Yes, it is chocolate.  I always have some in the house.  I blame my Grandmother.  She was a true chocoholic.  She taught me the joys of dark chocolate.

     A few days ago, I was in a grocery store and spotted an irresistible display.  They had a sale on Ghirardelli dark chocolate brownie mixes.  It was a two for the price of one sale.  I’d never tried them because I no longer do much in the way of baking—don’t need the extra calories.  I read the back of the box and I bought two, one of their ultimate dark chocolate brownie mix and the other their dark chocolate brownie mix.  I would’ve bought more if they hadn’t been out of the turtle ones.  There wasn’t a single box of those left.

     Last night I made the dark chocolate brownies.  They were so good they were very nearly orgasmic.  I hope they have more mixes when I go back to the store.  I intend to keep a box or two on hand for when a chocolate crave hits me, or if I have drop in company.

     DH was in heaven when I served them up still warm from the oven  for dessert with fresh coffee.

Chocolate is brain food

 

     Okay, that may not necessarily be true, but it works for me.  I inherited the chocolate loving gene from my grandmother.  I don’t eat so much of it as to gain weight I eat only a little each day.  I can claim chocolate as part of the vegetable food group, can’t I?  It comes from a bean….  Vegetable.  It relaxes me, it helps me think, and I love it.

    ( Hey, Jennie, tonight I finished that dark chocolate bar you sent.  It was yummy!)

     Hmm.  Therefore, if I follow that same form of logic as is found in the first paragraph, it means that coffee is vegetable juice.  Oh, goody.  I’ll tell that one to Dear Hubby’s doctor, it will crack him up for sure. 

     I drink gallons of coffee.  Ask Dave he’ll tell you how I carry coffee with me at all times.  When I visit the Aunts, I phone them from down the road a piece from the house and ask them if they have the coffee on.  They always do.
