Hand over the chocolate and nobody will get hurt…
I have always loved sweets, particularly chocolate. Even as a child, I thought that chocolate was the best food created! This lifelong love of the sweet stuff may have been greatly influenced by my Grandmother Churchill, my mother’s mom.
While growing up in Southern California, our family lived about an hour away from my grandmother and we would make the trip to see her at least twice a month. Dad, Mom and us four kids would pack into the car for the hour drive (although it seemed like forever), spend the day there and return home, a bit groggy from sleeping in the back of the station wagon. During the summers, however, my younger sister and I would take extended visits to the big yellow house on the corner and stay for a couple weeks at a time.
Grandma would treat us to all of the goodies we weren’t allowed to eat at home, including her stash of M&M’s and chocolate malt balls. I have always cherished every bite and morsel of chocolate candy but if I held them too long in the palm of my hand too long, the chocolate would melt in my hand (even though the commercial for M&M’s said it wouldn’t)! To savor the total experience I would slowly lick the chocolate from my hand until all the chocolate had disappeared and my mouth was full of the irresistible taste…yum!!
As I grew older, I acquired a taste for soft-center Bordeaux, a scrumptious treat I would get at See’s Candies (a Candy store found in the western states). I would slowly eat the candy piece, sometimes taking up to 30 minutes to finish the delightful treat. I would let each tiny morsel melt in my mouth and savor the taste until it had disappeared before I would allow myself another bite. Just thinking about the experience as I write, my mouth is starting to salivate!

According to an excerpt from his book Eat Chocolate, Lose Weight, by Will Clower, Ph.D., which appears in Prevention magazine April 2014, ” Darker chocolate results in a decrease of calorie consumption by decreasing cravings”. Eating dark chocolate is not only good for our brain, but for our hips, as well! So the next time you reach for a piece of chocolate, make sure it’s dark and remember you’re doing it for your health!
Enjoy your chocolate!
Until next time,
