Confessions of an Afternoon Delight
I
don’t smoke, I don’t drink (unless it’s a little ‘nip’ for medicinal purposes)
nor…do I take drugs. That fact, in
itself, does not mean I am perfect although, I do believe I come pretty darn close.
However, I will confess, I do have one slight addiction. Although it is legal,
I’m sure it’s toxic.
Every afternoon about three o’clock, I wander into the kitchen for a
little somethin’-somethin’. To be honest, I want chocolate! In the olden days when I was watching my weight, I
would grab water, juice or a diet drink and hope that it would curb any
out-of-control eating behavior. Now that I’m older, wiser and excepting of my
body, I opt to throw caution to the wind and live my life to the fullest. Won’t
you please join me in a little afternoon delight?
First
off, you will need a large glass, fill it to the brim with icy-cold ice-cubes.
Open the Hershey’s syrup and drizzle a long stream of the dark rich chocolate
over the top of the cubes, covering them completely. Don’t skimp! Pop open a
can of Coca-Cola, slowly pouring the soda down over the chocolate-ice cube
mixture. Can you smell the cola fragrance? Watch it fizz. Stop. Let it pop and
bubble down, now pour on more cola. Repeat this procedure until your tumbler is
chock-full. Push a thick neon-colored straw
down into the dark delightful rich concoction, stirring gently.
Now
close your eyes as you place your lips on the straw. Take a big ol’ slurp of
the chocolate fizzing bubbly drink.
I call it chocolate
with a bang. Trust me it is…to-die-for!
I know, I’m bad, but heck, I don’t smoke, drink or do drugs.
