When Chocolate Strikes

What I know for sure:

1. Chocolate is a powerful antidepressant and as such, should always be kept on hand, in case of emergencies.


2. In a pinch, semi-sweet chocolate chips can be substituted for other forms of chocolate when the need strikes suddenly. The handiness of chocolate chips is evident, in the fact that you can pop them in your mouth by the handful, according to need, and no one else is the wiser for it.


3. When popping chocolate chips by the handful, it is a good idea to keep track of any stray chocolate chips, that may have missed your mouth.


4. Stray chocolate chips have a way of finding the gap between your apron and sweater-top, unbeknownst to anyone, including yourself.


5. Later, when you remove the apron, and find the mostly-melted chocolate chip embedded in your sweater, family members WILL look at you oddly. It's best to simply say nothing and find the stain remover a.s.a.p.

Just in case you should ever find yourself in need of a chocolate fix......
