wine

well, Cheryl informed me the 2001 cab-franc is long gone so it will have to be 2003. Not quite as yummy as 2002 or 2001 but still good.

Chocolate

Organic, fair trade, shade grown cocoa beans as locally grown as possible is the way to go. It's got to be DARK if you want the benefits. Dark chocolate with red wine is the best (try Sumac Ridge cab-franc 2001).

Lots of miles

Hi Glenn/aka Mudrunner,

Quite some high mileage stuff in your forecast ;-)  How are you proposing to follow up on the no candy thing?  I'd like to know since I am a chocoholic.

Well, that's exactly the PROBLEM.  I could care less for brighlty coloured candy-candy, but give me some nice German/Begium or Swiss chocolate....hm. And no, I don't like dark chocolate either (it's supposed to be healthier)

do the right thing

okay I challenge both of you to eat modest amount of responsibly grown organic chocolate (the darker the better!), from wherever you see fit, Germany or otherwise. That way you can have your 'candy' and feel good about it too. There's nothing wrong and everything right with a tasty tidbit of 'good for the environment' sweets, most notably chocolate. Please let me know when to be nearby to help you moderate your personal intake ;)

Do you have a sweet tooth?

Submitted by Sibylle on 20 December, 2005 - 19:37.
Look who is talking...;-)  Sorry if I have candy there is no talk about moderate amounts, organic or otherwise.  Seriously though, I do think there is something addictive in chocolate - and no, dark just doesn't do it for me!  Believe me I have tried.  Back to Mudrunner: How are you proposing to get that candy eating problem under control?  Sheer will power?  Mr. Turtlepace seems to think that's an option ;-)

I was hoping that the simple act of writing this down would cure me of that addiction. Maybe some form of electro-shock therapy is in order?

what willpower?

Submitted by Craig Moore on 20 December, 2005 - 19:57.
willpower doesn't exist.  Feelings and emotions are the only things that are real, besides a good long run in the mountains and a kiss with your honey ;)  okay, have you're 'lite' chocolate and eat as much as you like.  But remember, it's more fun eating it with someone.

Whatcha doing dragging me into this?

Submitted by Ean Jackson on 21 December, 2005 - 21:05.

OK, OK.  I've been out'ed.  One of my many faults...

You won't see me committing in a public forum to New Years resolutions I am not realistically capable of achieving, so I hereby make myself available to anyone who wants to share their chocolate, on or off the trail, in or out of the gym, no restrictions on day of the week or hour of the day. 

BTW, have you ever tried chocolate and beer?  A big bar of bittersweet goes really well with a Guiness!
