Light & Tasty Chocolate


Tonight I uttered a question that gives true testament to how fall we have fallen from our New Year’s Resolutions: “Honey, did you eat all the Bacon Chocolate?”

Yes, Bacon Chocolate. From Vosges. My sister brought it over last week as a peace offering following a particularly fearsome debate about etiquette. She is either humoring me or has decided that I am right: when accepting weekly dinner invitations, one should bring over occasional edible or floral token of appreciation. Or do the dishes.

A thick dark chocolate bar studded with salty bacon was her concession—a major act of selflessness for a chocolate-addicted vegetarian, but hell on Chicken/Rooster will power.
