Cacao attack!

Exceptionally chilly winter evenings.
The last time you saw the sun, was on the chillier morning ride to work.
When the 7'o clock alarm had rung, the animal instincts hidden deep within your primitive genes had cried out 'its time to hibernate'.
And when your back home,at the end of the day...your blanket and room heater seem like what today was meant for,warm cuddley lazed sleep.

And who the hell asked you to parent the kid in you,put down rules.Life was so much fun without them.
So drag yourself across the flat, change into your sneakers and dive inside your jacket and out you go.
Its unhealthy, you tell yourself, to turn into a chair-worm.

20 minutes is the max you last.Yah its one of those days when you can shut your eyes and almost sleep even while your feet are pounding the gravel.
What the hell! 20 minutes is more than zero minutes.

And then when you feel you have paid your dues...you'v worked, and you'v worked out, and now its time for you to grab the pillow and the remote...bang it hits you!

Stupid chocolate cravings.
You try to fool the kid in you.
Buy kellogs choco.its breakfast cereal...how bad can it be.
munch munch, two bites and you know it.
who the hell were you kidding.

caramels, dark chocolates, crusty wafer loaded with milk chocolate, crispes,nougat..even the otherwise detested peanut variety.
Their immaginary forms and flavours seem to fill your mouth.

Think 'that black top',
Think 'mutton chops',
what the hell, think of the 'cute guy'.
nah..nothing works.

Ghosts of all the burnt umber devils eaten over the last two decades haunt your mouth and palate,mercilessly tickle your tastebuds.
And then you just succumb.



My roommate has just returned , and has a giant stash of twix, hersheys, champagne n strawberry filled delight,
and more.
Lets say we had quite a time tonight. And I had to eat quite a bit before I could re-affirm my true love.

Bitter dark chocolates rule.
