“Oh, divine chocolate! They grind thee kneeling, Beat thee with hands praying, And drink thee with eyes to heaven”. -Marco Antonio Orellana, circ 18th century

It’s funny you know, as soon as you shouldn’t eat things that the bathroom scale screams NOOOOOO(!) to, the TV channels purposely make sure the most of the programmes contain food, sweets and other delicious things at least in a 5 minute interval throughout the evening. Starting from Emmerdale Farm (German version), continuing through the news channel, weather report and finishing of with the travel guide. So the safest bet, if you have an issue with the scale (or it with you), make sure you either have a book containing non-food related topics handy, or just sleep through the painful scenes.

I can’t stop wondering,  chocolate has existed over 1500 years, and was worshipped by the Mayan civilisation in Central America and still is no good for you (!)…

Anyway - [1] Fahrnberger in Klagenfurt has  great, delicious sweets and everything to go with it. Great to stop by a rainy day like this…

So long - stay sweet
