all bitter now

Seventy percent. That's about as far as I can go.

Of the box of extreme dark chocolate cocoa hearts given to me for Valentine's Day, only eight have been consumed. Half of those by Mr. Man.

Sweet of him, no?

I love and prefer dark chocolate to milk chocolate, and I'm not a fan of white chocolate -- which, by the way, isn't even chocolate -- but I haven't devoured these little jewels the way I was probably expected to. And they meet my bitter threshold at 70% cocoa.

For someone that doesn't drink coffee and finds arugula disagreeable (unless finely chopped), it's a wonder I fancy the stuff at all. Of course, I do like to eat them while I'm having a glass of red, so maybe it's about how much better it gets when paired with something else.

Oh... just like me and my bittersweet other half. Got it.
