The Eight Months of Chocolate Takes a Respite

Because it's too hot! This past week, I received a package from one of my junior-year-abroad friends who had traveled back to Switzerland on business. I knew this because he posted some lovely photos on Facebook, and (of course) I hinted at my favorite Swiss chocolate bar, one that can't be bought here in the USA.He's a good guy, and sent me two! My husband and I dug into the Giandor first, but we're saving the Frigor. Saving it for what? Christmas? Hey, it'll be gone by the next blog post.Anyway, it's getting too hot for chocolate, isn't it? The Giandor was a little soft. So take a break! We all know that the Halloween candy will be back on the shelves as soon as the munchkins are back in school this fall. And thus begins another round of the Eight Months of Chocolate. October through May - Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, after-Christmas, Valentine's Day, Easter, Mother's Day. Any excuse to sell/buy/consume it. Aren't you chocolated out by now?Take a break from chocolate. It's ice cream season!And in case you were wondering, I have limited my sugar intake tremendously.
