still too young to fail, too scared to sail away

Yesterday was Ghana Independence Day. Coincidentally, one of my favorite chocolates (ever) is from Ghana. It's called Omanhene. I received a package from Alex a few weeks ago before the big slew of exams and felt extremely lucky. I was first exposed to this chocolate at a local coffeeshop and instantly fell in love with it. They don't sell the bars anymore, although I think they might still use it in their mochas? I'm not sure, as I don't typically drink mochas.

The 48% Cocoa Content Dark Milk Chocolate is exactly my idea of chocolate that isn't too sweet or too bitter. I think I've tried the 80% before also, but after eating approximately 15 of these small bars, I can safely and definitively say that this particular one is my favorite. The other three bars can be accounted for as follows: one to my mom, one to my dad, and one uneaten. The uneaten one will probably be eaten today. I actually find it strange that they have lasted this long and must attribute it to my strong sense of will power. That is, of course, a joke, as I have on two occasions, stuck a bar in my coat pocket and whipped it out: 1) During an excruciating shopping trip and 2) During an excruciatingly long 15-minute-walk home.

These things have gotten me through some fairly tough (shopping) and extremely tough (walking) times. Thank you, Alex :)
