I think I miss it more than Josh misses his beer! I miss my bread – I would have loved to have had a heavily buttered piece of cinnamon raisin toast yesterday – but I really miss chocolate. I didn’t realize how much I eat it or enjoy it until I haven’t been able to have it. When I was living up in New Hampshire, I spent a lot of time at Cacao right over the border in Kittery, Maine. Susan, the chocolatier and owner of Cacao, made the most incredible chocolates – the fleur de sel (caramel with a dark chocolate shell and salt on top) was my absolute favorite. There is a place in Rhode Island - Ocean State Chocolates in Wickford RI that has similar super-good chocolates but no one grows cacao around here so we can’t have it. If someone grew cacao around here they could make a lot of money off of me! All I can think of is the Rolling Stones’lyric- You can’t always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you just might find, you get what you need! Though Josh made a fabulous chicken tonight, I just don’t think it filled the chocolate craving. You know where you’ll find me when this challenge is over – passed out on our kitchen floor with hand full of empty chocolate paper cups and a belly full of Ocean State Chocolates!
