Happy New Chocolate

There is a wonderful new range of bars available here which almost come up to par with those left behind at the point of immigration. Finally, the local chocolate folks have realized that there is marketing potential beyond the red and the flat. Funky colors! Innovative Moulding! And- Tasty! (I have to thank this lady for recommending the White/Nougat version- great breakfast)

However, I have clearly annoyed the Chocolate Goddess of late, as happiness at this new discovery was doomed to being short-lived. The madwoman who runs our diet group spent 13 full minutes delivering a furious tirade against these new bars, claiming that they are more dangerous for the Chocolately-Challenged than "regular" offerings as they do not have chunks to break off, thus rendering them "more likely to be eaten on the day they are opened- you can't put them back in the fridge."

And this gem from someone who gets PAID to both possess and impart dietary wisdom.

Sorry. But I have yet to encounter anyone to whom so ridiculous a premise is applicable. Who on this planet-seriously, who?!- wants to ignore an opened chocolate bar for 24 hours? So I guess my suspicions are hereby confirmed- the woman who runs the group is an alien from an odd, soulless wasteland where they smile encouragingly and sporadically eat chocolate by the chunk. I guess it follows she's not from Mars, or anywhere near the Milky Way, or any Galaxy for that matter.

Ok, Ok. I'll stop now! Happy New Year.
