It’s time for another Wierd & Worthy Quote:
“Life is too short to eat cheap chocolate!”
OK. I admit it.
These immortal words of wisdom come straight from me.
Anyone who knows me might say that I like chocolate…
They might even say that I’m rather fond of chocolate…
Oh Alright… I love Chocolate!
(Cows can always tell when you’re not telling the truth – it’s a gift)
I think my love affair with chocolate started early – while still in the womb. My mom told me once that she craved chocolate malts the whole time she was pregnant and drank so many that she gained over 50 lbs with each of us kids. As the story goes, I was also the largest baby my mother had and that is why my nickname has been Moose forever.
I love Chocolate so much that when my boys were young, they really, truly, honestly believed that I would die if I didn’t have chocolate every day. They have grown up and now realize that this is not true but I still have days when I’m not so sure – and really – why take the risk?
Chocolate is an addiction I have struggled with my whole life but I know there are other people out there who are just as bad off as I am.
I used to work with a gal whose last name was Mattox but I called her Ms Mad Ox the Indian Princess. We were both young and unmarried at the time with few responsibilities and we were doing what we did every day – talking about our 2 favorite subjects – men and chocolate.
Being the intellectuals that we were back then, we would spend our free time asking each other deep, probing questions – the kind of stuff Barbara Walters would ask important world leaders. One day I asked Ms Mad Ox if she had to choose between men and chocolate and was forced to give up one for the rest of her life which one would she choose to keep?
Without hesitation a smile lit her face and her eyes glazed over.
“I would choose a man dipped in chocolate.”
I understand completely.
“Got any chocolate bulls?”
Maybe it’s a woman thing.

I liked your post. It was funny and earnest. Chocolate is a serious subject. It should be accorded that level of higher education like a Master’s degree or something. The depth, the complexity, the smoothness, I don’t even see how wine tasting can compare. In fact, it doesn’t. In the words of that immortal playwright Oscar Wilde, “My tastes are simple, I only like the best!!!!
I totally agree!
Have you eaten your chocolate today?
I am a chocoholic also! I love mocha cappuccino, my daily fix. Chocolate pudding, chocolate cheesecake, dark chocolate, chocolate chip pumpkin or banana muffins the list goes on.
One of my Mom’s famous quotes, which she got from her Dad, is “Food is always a good investment.”
Thanks for the fun and light post this morning.
What is your favorite form of chocolate?
You and your mom sound like my kind of people!
Moose, this is so very true of me to. I laughed out loud when you said your boys were convinced you’d die if you didn’t have some every day–I was convinced that I would but I did something I thought would be the death of me–I’ve given it up for lent. With calving to keep me busy, I thought it might be a good distraction. I am still alive but my locked stash awaits me on Easter. My favorite is dark chocolate with almonds or pecans from Custer Co. Candy Company. I wrote a column about women and their chocolate and men and their beer–this made me think of the column I wrote.
Wow – I’m impressed! You are a brave woman to give up chocolate for lent. You are my hero!!!
