It’s no secret, how I feel about chocolate. As I’ve said before, I used to be the world’s pickiest eater but, at the height of my pickiness, I ate chocolate covered ants. I think they were ants. They were some kind of bug or insect BUT THEY WERE COVERED IN CHOCOLATE.

Today, in honor of Valentine’s Day, a traditional boon for chocolate sellers lovers, I am pleased to recommend to you The Chocolate Cult, a web site presided over by my pal TammyJo Eckhart , aka The Chocolate Priestess. It’s bee-you-tee-ful.

I don’t make chocolate confections much these days. Mom can’t eat it and Charlie is going light, and I’m making a brave attempt. So, when I want to indulge (and I often do), I make sure I have a bag of these babies:

Dove Promises dark chocolate with almond bits in. SO good! I put them in the freezer. That way, they last longer, because they have to thaw before they can melt. I don’t chew them, you know; I let them mellllllt. Sllllowwwwlllyyyy.

Whew!

A WRITING PROMPT FOR YOU: What would your main character most love to be given for Valentine’s Day or the comparable day in whatever society you write?
