I am not a chocoholic. I mean I am not actually addicted to chocolate. However, if someone offers me a piece of chocolate, especially dark chocolate, I can't remember ever saying no. Chocolate is, after all, one of the basic food groups on its own, and it is a vegetable (it's made from a bean).
When my west coast brother informed me that today is "National Chocolate Chip Day" I cheered, and then I realized that we didn't have a single chocolate chip in the whole house. I really didn't search the whole house, just the pantry, but I'm pretty sure my presumption was correct.
Sadly I didn't have time to go to the grocery store, and I'm pretty sure, if I asked my wonder spouse to go to the store, just to buy chocolate chips, he might have jumped to the conclusion that I planned to bake chocolate chip cookies. I didn't have time to bake cookies either. And yes, I can bake cookies, even though all my friends and family know that my spouse does most of the cooking.
So I did what any chocolate loving person would do. I raided a bag of candy left over from Halloween (yes, I know it's May but it was a big bag of candy) and ate a Tootsie Roll. It's kind of like a whole bunch of chocolate chips rolled into a log. Kind of.
Hummm, maybe it's not too late for a bed time snack.
