Blog Entry: Giveaway winner and chocolate problems
It's Thursday, July 1st, one month before A Most Improper Magick is released in the UK - and according to Random.org, Tim (tjinkerson) is the winner of a signed cover proof!
Tim, please send me a message with your mailing address, and I'll put your signed proof in the mail ASAP.
And now that the business segment of this entry is taken care of...we need to talk about a problem. A serious problem.
A problem that Tricia Sullivan caused. This:
Divine Chocolate's Fruit and Nut Dark Chocolate bar.
Here's the thing: I've always eaten a bit of chocolate every day. For the last year or two, I even ate some of a Divine Chocolate bar every day, usually their dark chocolate-mint flavor. (As far as I'm concerned, Divine is the Willy Wonka of the chocolate world - and not only is it the yummiest chocolate I've ever found, it's even fair trade, too! Irresistible.) But I always had self-control. I never ate more than six (small!) squares in a day.
Then Tricia came to visit, and brought me a bar of their fruit & nut chocolate.
I've never liked chocolate with fruits inside. I had Dire Suspicions. But it was a gift, and I wanted to properly appreciate it, so I took a bite, shrugged, took another...and devoured half a bar in the next five minutes.
I haven't found my self-control since.
There has GOT to be something addictive in those bars!
Sadly, although I've tried going back to the old mint-dark chocolate bars I used to like (and be able to control!), I can't stop myself. Now I always choose the fruit & nuts bars when they're available. And then...
Sigh. Something Must Be Done. But not until I finish this current bar, obviously...
What about you guys? What are your favorite chocolate (or just candy) treats?
