Sorry Electra, but chocolate is toxic for dogs and cats, it could make you very sick whereas for us humans it can mostly only cause us to gain weight.

I take medications that make me crave carbohydrates, so I have an excuse. At least, that’s what I tell myself.

Chocolate is bad for me? Ha! I’m 73, so I’ve survived.

I do not blame chocolate for the weight I have gained over the years – I blame large meals and lack of excercise. Kind of proved that over the past year where I lost weight by eating smaller meals (but not reducing my chocolate intake) and increasing my exercise (at least a little). Fortunately I am maintaining my weight within a 5 pound range so I seem to have found the balance between meal size, chocolate intake, and exercise.

Have a fabulous Friday – at least what is left of it.

Some people try to substitute carob. I have found that carob is an acceptable substitute for chocolate but only if you have never tasted chocolate !

Ahh, chocolate … so bad and yet so good.

It also happens to be the breakfast of champions, if you ask me. Ha.

HI, MOM. Happy Friday, “Cathy” Clan.

A little dark chocolate (the only kind I like) i good for you and I make sure I have some every day ;)
