Title: Comforting Chocolate
Post by: Dancinggirl on August 22, 2015, 02:06:47 PM: Hi ladies
On another thread I've been sharing my woes over the withdrawal bleed on HRT. Basically I'm getting a lot of nasty cramps!!
I decided my best medicine was something chocolaty so I've got a chocolate cake in the oven and it smells wonderful. Will I be able to wait till it has cooled down and I've done the filling or will I just dive in and consume the lovely moist sponge on it's own? Licking the bowl was heaven and I already feel much better.
Does anyone else find chocolate a wonderful cure-all ? Do you have anything else that gives you comfort?

I did tend to blame it solely on the type of bread I was eating.. hoped it was the bread I was eating.. but, no, it was definitely the chocolate. Dairy Milk is the worst - more soya content since they changed it apparently! Humph!
