		<description>The legend of Marc &amp; chocolate does indeed exist, and his blog entry is an eloquent treatise on the subject.  I do not have a legendary love of chocolate, nor do I have the gift that enables me to write such a passionate article. Those who know me know that I do enjoy the occasional taste, but that is all I need. A box of chocolate in my house lasts a long time.

 But I&#039;ve given it some time (for thought and web site stability) and I feel that a bit more needs to be said. 

No argument about white chocolate - that&#039;s just a fact.

 I must take issue with the dark chocolate comments however. You will not find me waxing poetic over the subject, just giving my own opinion. First, dark chocolate is not synonymous with semi-sweet, that is merely the one step in the scale of increasing bitterness and decreasing sweetness.

 Second, having almonds covered with dark chocolate is just an insult to the taste of both items. More enjoyment can be had from the melting sweetness of milk chocolate over an almond.

 I find semi-sweet to mildly dark to be the best taste experience. Milk chocolate is just too sweet without as much chocolate flavour. The semi-sweet chocolate does not melt as easily in your mouth, but if you are patient you will be rewarded. The best of all is a creamier chocolate such as that found in a Lindt dark chocolate truffle. I have some I bought a couple of months ago if you want to try.... :)&lt;div class=&quot;comment-remix-meta&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;replyto&quot; onclick=&quot;replyto(&#039;1994&#039;,&#039;Linda&#039;); return false;&quot;&gt;Reply&lt;/a&gt;  - &lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;quote&quot; onclick=&quot;quote(&#039;1994&#039;,&#039;Linda&#039;,&#039;The legend of Marc &amp; chocolate does indeed exist, and his blog entry is an eloquent treatise on the subject.

		<description>Man, it was way too late for me to employ lateral thinking!

I&#039;ve watched the first 3 or 4 Eureka episodes. It&#039;s gotten off to a rocky start. The premise is interesting but the characters are all kind of trying to figure themselves out.  I figure I&#039;ll give it a good 6 or 7 episodes before I render a verdict. I&#039;ve been hasty on other shows (B5 for instance) so I thought I&#039;d give it a biiig chance.&lt;div class=&quot;comment-remix-meta&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;replyto&quot; onclick=&quot;replyto(&#039;1818&#039;,&#039;Marc&#039;); return false;&quot;&gt;Reply&lt;/a&gt;  - &lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;quote&quot; onclick=&quot;quote(&#039;1818&#039;,&#039;Marc&#039;,&#039;Man, it was way too late for me to employ lateral thinking!\r\n\r\nI\&#039;ve watched the first 3 or 4 Eureka episodes.
