Alas, I didn't have any wine today, but I do have some homemade chocolate sauce to put on some homemade ice cream.  Maybe I'll catch up on the vino tomorrow.

My chocolate loving husband stopped the TV and came and got me..."here you've got to see this" he says.

It was about how chocolate is good for you. 

That was all the proof he needed!!!

That's only dark chocolate that's physically good for you. White "chocolate" is for mental health. The wine is for both.

So ... Indeed I simply ENJOY the Cabernet and the Fine Dark BitterSweet Chocolate for their DELICIOUSNESS ...

Well you know, the oldest living person ever, Jeanne Calment, attributed her longevity to port wine and chocolate (a kilogram per week).

I think it would be good to emulate her example.

I used to work at a bar and one of our regulars was 95 and every day the retirement center that he lived at would drive him to the bar for lunch where he would have a grilled cheese sandwich, a dry martini, and a cigar...he claimed that's why he lived for so long. :-)
