Bliss…is a glass of Campo Viejo Rioja, a six o’clock sunset, velvety chocolate…and me in the garden…with nothing to do…but breathe…

Daughter: There’s nothing sweet in the house.

I offer her my smile and a chunk of Lindt Excellence…

Daughter: I tell you I’m hungry and you give me facial expressions and poison.

Me: Dark chocolate is actually very good for you – it’s a powerful antioxidant, and it improves blood flow, lowers your blood pressure and even improves brain function.

Daughter: Can it grow hair?
