Post Chocolate Self-Hatred

March 25, 2008 by piereth

Ok, maybe a bit strong. But I mindlessly demolished a whole Thorntons Easter egg last night while watching Addams Family Values. This was bad, but the worst thing was that I’d dropped the whole shooting match on the floor prior to eating it so what I was actually eating was floor-soiled shards of Thorntons Easter egg plus sundry dust mice and grut. The grut, it will be noted, didn’t stop me stuffing my face.

It didn’t taste of much except lard; proof positive that the only type of chocolate worth eating is the type that tastes of, well, chocolate. 75% cocoa solids. I think this will have to be the standard from now on.

Mr P is away for another week this week; solitary suppers, tidy piles of laundry, quiet and ticking clocks and no telly. Peaceful, melancholic time in which I start talking to myself around about Wednesday afternoon. Waiting for payday.

It’s my 35th birthday tomorrow. Ho hum.

I had a stomach ache yesterday. To deal with that I gobbled a bar of Lindt chocolate. It was scrumptious. It didn’t make my belly feel any better. I suspect it made it feel worse but it did put me in a better mood so that I didn’t mind the upset tummy. I think my little experiment counts as confirming evidence that eating good chocolate is better than pretty much anything else.

Carole - thank you!! I hope so too! I nearly didn’t get up this morning - close run thing.

ABS - Did you eat the chocolate hoping it would make your stomach better or just in a sort of devil-take-the-hindmost, how-bad-can-it-get sort of a way? I agree on the good chocolate; I’m off to lay in a store of Green & Black’s best.

Jen - see my today post re: cake!!
