I Don't Want To Be Saved

from my chocolate addiction.

Just because I haven't posted for months on end doesn't mean I am not still passionately in love with chocolate, let me tell you!

In celebration of my first (and only) day of summer without an agenda I am stirring up a batch of chunky chocolate chip cookies and eating nutella by the spoonful as I do so. Just so you know.

Food For Thought

Stolen from the latest issue of Scientific American:
"New research shows the cocoa flavanols in dark chocolate can briefly sharpen vision and boost cognitive function by temporarily increasing blood flow to the eyes and brain."

I needed to know that so I could justify polishing off most of the bar of (organic & fairly traded!) dark chocolate Ayrel gave me. It made reading flight information on the boards and recognizing appropriate gates sooooo much easier when flying home from Cleveland yesterday.
