and now, it's time for a word from our sponsor

Some awards from that substance that fuels the universe --

1. Miz Minka: for the reminder that the translation of theobroma cacao (botanical name) is, appropriately, 'food for the gods'.
2. To M. for providing an insightful word when I was trying to verbally capture the essence of Green & Black dark chocolate: somber. Wow.
3. The metropolis of Dover, Ohio for having a gourmet chocolate section. Fuel for my sister-in-law's amazing creativity, perhaps?
4. Another sister-in-law: for going way way way beyond pink RAZR high-techness and getting a CHOCOLATE phone. I'm officially jealous.
