Man cannot live on chocolate alone; but woman sure can.

I LOVE chocolate covered cherries.

Well, let’s be honest here, I love chocolate covered anything. After Master’s ban on chocolate I’ve paid particular attention to the reported health benefits of chocolate. I’ve made it my personal mission to sway Master’s opinion of chocolate. Conveniently leaving off the fact that milk chocolate is high in fats and sugars, here’s what I know:

* Cacao, the source of chocolate, contains antibacterial agents that fight tooth decay. Of course, this is counteracted by the high sugar content of milk chocolate.

* The smell of chocolate may increase theta brain waves, resulting in relaxation.

* Chocolate contains phenyl ethylamine, a mild mood elevator.

* The cocoa butter in chocolate contains oleic acid, a mono-unsaturated fat which may raise good cholesterol.

* Drinking a cup of hot chocolate before meals may actually diminish appetite.

* Men who eat chocolate live a year longer than those who don’t.

* The flavanoids in chocolate may help keep blood vessels elastic.

* Chocolate increases antioxidant levels in the blood.

* Mexican healers use chocolate to treat bronchitis and insect bites.

* The carbohydrates in chocolate raise serotonin levels in the brain, resulting in a sense of well-being.

* Eating chocolate is almost as good as having an orgasm. (Okay, that fact may only apply to me, but I threw it in there anyway.)

And, on that note, here is why chocolate is better than sex:

*Chocolate satisfies even when it has gone soft.

*You can make chocolate last as long as you want it to.

*If you bite the nuts too hard the chocolate won’t mind.

*You don’t get hairs in your mouth with chocolate.

*Chocolate doesn’t make you pregnant.

*When you have chocolate it does not keep your neighbors awake.

Ultimately, Master is coming around to accepting the fact that in order to live in a peaceful house, I require chocolate. The ban is loose these days, apparently me snarling and baring my teeth now and then wasn’t worth hiding the chocolate. ;-) Though I’m not allowed to make my three squares meals out of chocolate alone, nor can I just up and gorge myself on it at will, if HE buys it, I can eat it. And eat it I do. With a deep pleasure newly rekindled.

To show my appreciation for such generosity and for the TWO boxes of chocolate covered cherries that Master bought me last night, I combined my two favorite things ever. Him… and chocolate.

And it was yummy.
