My Stash

Chocolate is a very important food group for me. I sometimes go off chocolate the way some people go off caffeine or sugar or carbs. I can do it. I mean I don't have to have it. I can give it up any time I want. I don't have to have it.

Okay that is such a big lie. I can go for days, but well I would never be able to go totally without chocolate. I have given it up for 46 days for Lent. BUT I love chocolate. I have researched chocolate, but I am not one of those chocolate snobs. I don't dig the dark and look for the higher percentages but I do know what most of the markings on the tops of the candies mean.

I like fruit covered chocolate, too. I love chocolate covered strawberries. Mmmm I love orange chocolate, too.

For years, I have kept a stash of chocolate in my night stand. Usually, I have a back-up stash in my undie drawer just in case.

Tonight, I am out. OUT. NO CHOCOLATE IN THE HOUSE ANYWHERE. OUT OUT!!!!

My undie stash disappeared a long time ago. I didn't want to put it in the new dresser. My night stand stash, well once my daughter found out, she would ask for it. She says it with an accent the middle syllable. Mommy, I want choCOlate. please.......... I can never tell her no.

I had a box of my favs, whitman's sampler, but I finished it this morning. I just went downstairs and there is nothing...nothing...no chocolate anywhere. Not even any chocolate chips frozen in the fridge.

I don't know if this is worth a midnight run to the store, but I am seriously considering it.

********UPDATE********
All chocoholics must go and try the new Market Street mini eclairs in the frozen foods at Wal-Mart. If you can eat them frozen, your stash is automatically protected and believe me VERY worth it!!
