At the beginning of this summer, I got sick. I got better. But, before you could say... summer, I got sick again. Once I got better, I decided to stay away from dairy to avoid phlegm build-up. Yikes. With a few lapses here and there, I have stayed away from eating dairy. But here is the catch: I love chocolate; specifically milk chocolate. I love it as much as I despise dark chocolate. I think dark chocolate is for baking. But...
Tonight, I had a craving. I had finished the second half of my pint of gluten-free, dairy-free, Snickerdoodle-flavored frozen soy dessert. It was great. It was tasty. I needed chocolate. The only chocolate in the house was a bar of 74% dark chocolate that my friend sneakily tucked into my carry-on. Dilemma.
So, here I am typing away while tucking away half of the bar. So far. It's not bad. It kinda satisfies my craving. But it isn't milk chocolate. Curses. But I am going to stick to my dairy-free diet for now. I like how I feel without all that lactose coursing through my system. Maybe, just maybe, I may even grow to enjoy this 74% dark chocolate. Maybe. Maybe not. Later.
