International Chocolate Day
Some of you may not see this post until tomorrow, but today, a lovely, sunny September 13th, is International Chocolate Day ~ and I cannot let this important date pass without acknowledgement. I actually have a whole post (or two…) lined up about this Food of the Gods, which will have to wait. Right now, it’s deadline-ville over here, but you can rest assured that chocolate will be honored at some point in my day. I hope it will be celebrated in yours as well.

September 14, 2011 at 9:00 pmIf it makes your heart happy, it’s got to be good for your heart ~ that’s how I see it. Not very medical, but a good philosophy IMHO!
