13.4.08 No revenge with this Montezuma

Because I have been sick in bed with a cold, most of the day's food was thoroughly forgettable - things like chicken bouillon and tea.

There was a chocolate chip cookie for breakfast. Justification: I'm sick. Also, I followed it up with an orange, so it balances out healthy/not so healthy.
And half a brownie for afternoon tea. Justification: I'm sick. No counterbalance. I'm sick.

In addition to a nice salad and some pretty decent canned soup in a loving effort to make it all better, a friend also gave me some real powerful medicine: orange and geranium chocolate from Montezuma's.

I'm not well...but I'm happy.

somebody else likes chocolate for breakky

breakfast and pain au chocolat was a long time ago. i've made the bold claim that talking about food is nearly as good as eating it. i found someone else talking about chocolate for breakfast on "passionfruit." i must admit it crossed my mind this morning that chocolate was probably an okay thing for first thing in the morning, but maybe the butterfat in the croissant portion of the treat would have to be an occasional indulgence rather than a daily ritual. sure enough, the author of this great blog about the love of food confirms that there are other ways to keep the chocolate, drop the fat. so i lead you to this idea of hers, which sounds fab...i am so going to try it. first i have to work up the energy to cook rather than ramble up to my favorite little deli. hm, could be trouble there.
