It's Love All Over Again

 

"Chocolate introduced me to Heaven."

~Anthony T. Hincks

Recently, I found out that not only am I allergic to pecans, I am allergic to almonds as well. I found out by way of a Hershey's with Almonds bar. UGH, a negative chocolate encounter, who needs that? I should cut back on my chocolate consumption anyway, but seriously, I am on my last nerve about things. But at the end of the day, sigh, chocolate cures a lot of evil. You already know about Trump, but now the car broke down, and who the HELL knows when the part to fix it, will arrive. It's already been 5 days. That means no birding, which is the thing that keeps me sane! And lets not forget the frequent fog of January! One day, not too long ago, I ate a half a bag on the plain Hershey's kisses, but only to balance the anger, sadness, bewilderment, and you get the idea, you probably felt it all too. And then the car took a dump!

I grabbed a bag of Hershey Kisses with Almonds, and ate a few fistfuls. A short time later, I broke out in hives. My body itched to a silly degree, but I survived, and now I know! But there was always the plain kisses, and because I now had an additional reason to bury my feelings in a bag of chocolate, I dug in with both hands. And I'm NOT SORRY! But funny thing, I hadn't had Hershey's plain chocolate in years. Previously when I indulged, it was usually Sees Candies. But unfortunately, Sees has became really expensive in the last few years, and even more expensive since Trump. Hershey's has seen a price hike as well! I can't believe how much a candy bar costs! Anyway, I forgot how amazingly delicious just a bit of their plain chocolate was! And now it's a tiny obsession? Or love rekindled? Who knows?

 I promise to try to cut back on. Seriously, I can stop anytime I want.

I found this recipe for, German Chocolate Cake, on the Hershey's website.
 It looks delicious! I think I'll try it!
