Chocolate in small doses is on the Wedding Diet, I swear.
So Readers you are multiplying. I am very excited, today will be a good day now that I looked that up on Google Analytics. Although I am a little disappointed in myself for saying the phrase “whatevs” to my office assistant.
For the record my office assistants often come into my office and say. “O.M.G.” not “Oh my gosh” but the letters O-M-G. And other such non-sense so I blame them for my corruption.
All this, plus you know a wedding in 16 days makes for a lot of stress, and stress means eating things I shouldn’t. But those things are often tasty.
For example after a bad bad day where I was perusing www.scanwich.com, I made myself a steak, goat cheese and sun dried tomato sandwich with a little hot sauce and red pepper flakes and lettuce all on sourdough bread from Boudin Bakery that Fiance brought me from San Fransisco. Soo good.
BTW do not look at their online catalog of seasonal breads that I linked to above, unless you want to buy sourdough online and ship it across the country to serve at your next dinner party. Seriously if you open it up your chances of not buying bread is slim. I mean look at them:



So adorable… MIL gave me the big turkey gobbler to take to Thanksgiving with my little cousins, oh they loved that Turkey, we all liked how good it tasted too. Two yummy turkeys that day.
After my sandwich though then I needed something sweet. You know how it goes. Now I might have already partially blown a good bit of calories on the sandwich, but when you need chocolate you need chocolate.
So I reached into my not so secret “secret” stash for a small piece of Chocolove with carmelized ginger.

I love this chocolate. I am not a huge milk chocolate person, but I also don’t love really dark chocolate, I put my chocolate number in the 60% dark range.
Add in the crystalized ginger for texture and a little spice, and this chocolate bar really does it for me. It keeps my awful snacking cravings at bay.
They make other flavors I am going to try next like these:



I will let you know how it goes. The cherry and almonds sound really promising.
So thank you Chocolove. I love you. If you ever want to advertise your Crystalized Ginger chocolate bars here, you can pay me with a big box of them. But really I have pretty much completely set you up right here, so now I won’t get my big box of crystalized ginger chocolate bars, NOOOOOOOoooooooooooo.
Anyway you can buy them in many place including Wegman’s, Whole Foods, World Market and Target just in case a big box doesn’t arrive on your door care of Chocolove. And if they don’t carry it, here is a handy link on their website where you can tell them what store near you that you wish to carry it, and they will work on that.
Love is a cruel thing…
