Seriously though, only one of the bars was for me. The one up there. For so long I have been a milk chocolate kind of girl. I love me some sweet milk chocolate and never passed up an opportunity to scrunch up my nose at the icky dark stuff. However, I am a maturing woman (snort!) and my taste buds have grown sophisticated...or maybe I have lost all sense of flavor due to my anosmia. Either way, I am beginning to develop a fondness for the dark stuff. I still think I prefer the milk chocolate but the dark is growing on me. I like my cakes and baked goods darker than not and I prefer my hot chocolate to be spicy and bittersweet so who knows, maybe I am actually maturing here. You may still be wondering why I only picked up candy bars at the market of all markets. The candy bars are gifts for long past due swaps I owe. I was short on time and their salad bar had experienced a mishap. The sandwich line was too, too long and the food counter had no sesame tofu, roasted potatoes or corn & arugula salad so I grabbed a bottle of the water, which was/is really , really not-so-good, I got the green tea flavor. Blech! As I got into line I remembered I needed some chocolates to send out and there ya go. Three for them and one for me. I work my way slowly through a chocolate bar. A cadbury creme egg, I will devour in an instant and then wonder why I did that, a chocolate bar I savor...and I like to dance around and sing "I've got a Golden Ticket!"...Truly, I do!

We just started reading Charlie and the Chocolate factory yesterday! Already finished chapter seven. I picked up some Wonka candy at the airport on our trip home and Jaylene and I each eat a Runt when we finish a chapter. There's some Sweethearts too, to help us through the Glass Elevator. Any chocolatey crafts in the future for scrumdillydo?
ReplyDeleteHa, We are so alike in some ways. I was always a milk choc kinda girl but I'm slowly warming to the dark side. Does Darth Vader have anything to do with this ?:) A friend bought me a sampler of Michel Cluziel for my birthday last year. It really helped me start to develop my palate a bit more. Some are fruity, others spicy. It's pretty impressive. And I am a total wonka nut. It rivals my Oz addiction.
