Chocolate

Passion for food can be absolutely wonderful! I love chocolate. It cannot be just any chocolate. For instance, Snickers Bars or Butterfingers - even See's Candies. Sure, they taste "good" and the sugar gives you a nice little rush, but am I passionate about those? No.

What I really love is the rich velvety smooth European style chocolate. Ritter bars.



Dark organic chili laden chocolate. Trader Joe's dark chocolate triangles in the tin. Patsy's handmade chocolate from Colorado Springs.

There is nothing like the sensation of rich chocolate melting in your mouth and filling your tongue with earthy, sweet flavours.



That is the type of chocolate that I can savor. It does not even take much to satisfy, because it is quality over quantity. Yet, I find that my passion for chocolate is a double edged sword. I guess that is why I battle my weight. Over the past year I have been following Weight Watchers. It is a successful program and I am hoping to reach my goal.

I love that it allows me to be flexible. When I really need chocolate (yes.. it can be a NEED), I have the freedom and flexibility to feed my passion.

  1. I love this blog. Chocolate is like a life saver for me some days. You are so correct about quality over quantity. Nothing like a good, smooth, rich chocolate to soothe my soul.
