Chocolate of the Day:

Target
Choxie
Coconut Almonds Truffle bar
Good
Weight: 2.5 oz. (70 g.) in 1 bar

Target department stores sell their own line of Choxie chocolate. Today I tried their 2.5 oz. (70 g) dark coconut almond truffle bar. It was good.

I tend to get the blahs and lose some energy in the winter months. I'm wondering whether eating chocolate every day will help. Hmmm. I wonder. In addition to today's chocolate, I will look for other bright spots. I enjoyed seeing some vivid gold and green leaves on the sidewalk at work while walking into the building in the morning. It's nice to see some spots of color in the gray months. There was also a nice silver/gold quality to the light on the freeways this morning. Winter light can be beautiful too.

It's fun to shop in L.A./Hollywood. On my way into Target (store), I did a double-take as I recognized a nice-looking actor from a popular TV series. He smiled back, and looked like he enjoyed the recognition.

I was ducking into the Target store because I'm in between business meetings, and needed a snack, and I had it on good authority that Target had their own chocolate brand.

I bought, and later ate, a few pieces of Choxie chocolate (Peanut Butter Big Bites) from Target. It was OK. But, when you're stuck back in a hotel room, and don't really feel like going out, it's nice to have a quick alternative to room service or walking around a store-free neighborhood after dark.
