Chocolate:Sheer Bliss

There is something about chocolate that makes everything better; even if it's just for a moment. Think about it, when you bite into a room temperature piece of chocolate those sweet morsels of chocolatey goodness that seem to slowly melt onto your palate, help you to remember that the little things in life can bring us the greatest comfort. I may be over exaggerating just a bit,but I was presented a gift from some of my residents for "RA Appreciation Day". They gifted me a bunny shaped box full of milk chocolate eggs courtesy of Gertrude Hawk chocolates and they are simply splendid. These delightful yet high calorie treats serve me well when I get the midnight (well in this case 3:00 munchies). The only other chocolate that I know of that can top all chocolate is Sees Chocolate. It's my mom's favorite and it has become tradition that Daddy buys her a box for special occasions like her birthday or Valentine's Day. It is also tradition that my sisters and I sneak a piece or try to anyways when Mommy's not looking, but often times we are unsuccessful; it's like she has "Choco-radar" but out of the goodness of her heart she shares her special treats with us and we love and thank her for it, because now we've been introduced to something amazing. To sum up my rampage, simply put, chocolate is sheer bliss.
