This past week I was given a gift of chocolate
and not just any chocolate, but dark chocolate. Now, I am not really a chocolate fan (yes, I'm sure I'm female), but this is not your ordinary Hershey's bar. Far from it! Allow me a few minutes to indulge.
It is made by a company called J.D. Gross and is titled "Trinidad". Eating a square of this 76% pure chocolate - yes, bittersweet - inspired me to look up the island it is named after. And, it walks you through your mouthful. As soon as you put it in your mouth, you think dark skin that has been warmed by an island sun, dark, lush, vibrant. As it begins to melt you can almost experience the mixture of people around you at Carnival, and sense the centuries of tradition and culture mixing together in the tastes. And, the bittersweet kick makes you want to swing your hips and exude sexuality (I said let me indulge!!!!)Yes, all this in a bite of chocolate. At least, I think so.
Anyone wanna vacation in Trinidad?

I'm thinking that the dark chocolate would be beneficial in our journey of trying to have baby #2...where can I order some??? Just kidding-I'm not a big chocolate fan either, but if it were coffee flavored anything I'd be all over it!
I was shaking my bum on the elliptical yesterday and thought just about the same thing as one of your latter statements. Luckily, the wall was behind me.
Ooooo, I gotta get me some of that!
