Chocolate ( every womans sin)

 My favorite thing in the world is a box of fine European chocolates which is, for sure, better than sex. I am a chef and therefore food is a passion. Chocolate is like that go to food when your feeling down. The superiority of chocolate, both for health and nourishment, will soon give it the same preference over tea and coffee in America which it has in Spain. If you are not feeling well, if you have not slept, chocolate will revive you. But you have no chocolate! I think of that again and again! My dear, how will you ever manage?  Chocolate just has a way of making people happier, you cannot eat chocolate and be angry or sad, I once tried to eat chocolate and cry at the same time and it does not work. Chocolate can only make you happy, it is that go to food for any occasion. When I need to plan a menu and I need a really great dessert, something that will knock the socks of people I always go to chocolate first, because nine out of ten people love chocolate and the tenth person always lies. Chocolate has to be one of the most romantic foods out there, just think about it, a candle lit dinner for two champagne, a great meal, what more could you ask for, well I don't know about you but strawberries dipped in dark chocolate with lint hot chocolate would just be the perfect finishing touch for me. chocolate is natures way of making up for mondays, so next time that it is a Monday and you are feeling down make sure you have chocolate on hand.
