7 years ago today. I recovered from the fire that destroyed my business, but not so much from being called "Willy Wonka" on the front page of the local newspaper.

Chocolate of the day: Soma Chocolate Bejofo Madagascar 70%.

It opens up like deep, fudgy raspberry jam, then builds in cocoa-fudgy intensity, only to have this rather gently bitter/astringent finish. And it's super creamy and smooth thanks to the added cocoa butter! I'm tempted to pair it with a strong black tea to see if they can enhance each other, but it's so good on its own.

And yes, that bird is wearing sneakers.

Sick in bed with Covid, but at least I have some proper comfort food.

Two bars of Scottish bean-to-bar chocolate; A 60% Honduras origin dark milk chocolate from Bare Bones Chocolate in Glasgow, and a 40% Hazelnut Gianduja from The Chocolate Tree in Edinburgh.

That should keep me going for a while.
