Fair Trade Chocolate

Yesterday was one of those days. Despite being a Friday and therefore sometimes a quieter day at work, I was swamped with meetings, special events to plan, and just the regular day to day tasks. On top of which, my lower back was bothering me for some reason. Then I came home to see the box containing new blinds was outside my door (yay). Oh, wait, that means I have to get them inside my condo. After hauling that, dealing with a new contact prescription that is wrong and seemingly a million other little things, it was safe to say I was in a no good, very bad, horrible sort of evening.

Enter my little happy thought - chocolate.

I wanted to keep it simple and not blow my good eating during the day. So I love the Equal Exchange mini dark chocolate bars (don't worry, they have milk chocolate too). They are my absolute favorite chocolate ever (and I've given much effort and taste tests the world over). Plus being small they won't blow your waist line.

Most importantly, they are fair trade. If you are unaware of the issues tying into the chocolate market, then take a moment to read what they talk about in the stories of their farmers or do a simple search online of the issue.

There would be a picture of the chocolate...but it didn't stick around long enough to be photographed. Sorry. Kind of.
