Maybe all those years of eating milk chocolate and suffering from
weakened my chocolate cravings. My wife bought me a dark chocolate
novelty from the local chocolatier. It was was a sort of 12 days of
Christmas bar. She was a little upset to see that I was not eating a
square of it every day. I usually had only half a square at a time, and
not every day. That 12 day think lasted almost a month.

It would have been a different matter if had been milk chocolate. I will
eat that stuff until I get sick.
