sweet stash...

Recently, Bill made a post about tricking me into thinking that he'd stolen chocolate from my stash...not just any chocolate either...a favored chocolate. It was pretty funny...and it kinda got me thinking.

In the past, I have had to resort to hiding chocolate so that it would be around when I was craving it. You see, Bill loves chocolate too...and when I would buy chocolate and not eat it right away, he would say that he thought that I 'forgot about it', so he'd eat it. This annoyed me to no end. Just because I decide to save something for later, doesn't mean I forget that it's there. Just imagine, if you will, a woman stricken with pms...who is in desperate need of that Mars bar she has in the cupboard...and when she goes to get it...GONE! Not a pretty sight!

Bill is no longer the thief of my chocolate...and I no longer stash just one chocolate bar in the cupboard. If you took a peek inside our 'junk cupboard' right now, you would find...a big bag of M&M peanuts, 1 Jersey milk bar, 1 Hershey's almond bar, 1 1/2 Toblerone bars and Bill's bag of mini Lindor chocolates...and that's just what I remember is in there. Of course, there's also a ziploc bag full of halloween chocolates in the freezer. Holy crapload of chocolate!!! I guess I just like to make sure that it's around when I want it. This way everyone wins...I can feed my cravings when I get them, and Bill isn't asked to make a chocolate run at 9pm when I have a craving and he ate my last little piece of heaven.
