For those dark chocolate lovers, like me--have you tried Ghirardelli Bittersweet chocolate? It comes in a big bar, in the baking aisle. One scored section, snapped off in the pantry, and eaten while walking away, does me a world of good. I can't carry the whole big bar out of the pantry with me, cuz I'll keep eating it. I eat some chocolate just about every day. I'd probably lose at least 5# if I quit that, but maybe not. And I'd be unhappier!

I also adore this kind of sesame candy, where they make thin little sheets of sugar/honey just crammed with sesame seeds. In fact, I'm eating some right now! Seeds--good, right? Honey, oh, so natural! Health food! I live in Chicago, where there are a lot of Polish people, and a lot of Mexican people. I work in a clinic, caring for the Mexican people, and the Walgreens down the street carries the candy imported from Poland. Best of all worlds.

In one of the Harry Potter books, Dumbledore gives Harry chocolate to help him recover from a Dementor attack. So many things in life fall under that category, don't you agree?
