I've gone almost three months without pure milk chocolate (a new personal record!). The chow hall is very accommodating if you like cakes, cookies, pies, and ice cream. There is not much variety within each of the deserts types they offer. In the time since I've been here, they've served the same three Sam's Club-type cookies; double chocolate, oatmeal with raisin, and peanut butter. Curbing a sweet tooth craving is very hard to do here. You can't run to the local gas station or drug store. The PX carries M&Ms (they're chocolate, but have a candy shell) and once in a while they carry foreign chocolate, but it flies off the shelves.
You can imagine my excitement last week when I received my first care package, from the states, containing milk chocolate. The peanut butter Santa Clause and holiday M&Ms were not a puddle, like many of you may have thought they would arrive. The Peeps survived too! They all taste delicious. Thank you Auntie Pam, Uncle Gary, Chris, Sara, and Kelly for taking the chance.

Chocolate is accepted and always appreciated! :-)

We missed you at the cookie bake last night. :( You would have had fun, there were no Sam's Club cookies in sight.
I might have a new favorite cookie. I don't know what it's really called but I call it chocolaty peanut butter goodness.
How can you go wrong with chocolate AND peanut butter?
yay for chocolate! I should have put some extra hershy kisses in there for ya if I would have known that!
