Last night Jeremy and I went grocery shopping sans kids. We might or might not be counting it as a date, since we were “alone”, food was involved, and money was spent. We’re grasping at straws, I know, but we take what we can get.
Two people who are on restricted diets (Jeremy for armwrestling, me for Blythe’s allergies) and therefore in a constant state of hunger should not grocery shop without intervention. Not unless they have recently consumed large quantities of… well, whatever it is they can eat. Lettuce? Apples? One quarter cup of plain brown rice? There is something tempting on every end cap, yummy smells wafting through the air. Oh, the agony.
Normally I pick and choose which organics to buy, because last time I checked, money does not come out of any of my orfices. But those organic people, they really know how to make some food without corn or egg additives. So regardless of how expensive it was (and believe me, it was) I put it in the cart last night. It all looked so tempting and delicious. Some of it didn’t even make it all the way to the car before being torn open, much less all the way home. Did I mention we were hungry? I need something besides fruit and vegetables. I need some fat and junk and a slab of beef. And maybe a milkshake. I’m wasting away here, people.
And then God created Organic and Specialty Chocolate, and it was good.
Can I just say, yum? Specialty chocolate or not, this is the best I’ve ever had. The kind on the right boasts all sorts of antioxidants and no gicky corn fillers. It has little chunks of cranberries, blueberries and almonds. They get stuck in your teeth but it’s actually quite pleasant. Disappointed that your square of chocolate is gone? Don’t fret, you can enjoy the little chocolatey cranberries for at least another five minutes, like a little gift left behind by the chocolate fairy.
