I learned at a very young age that there are two types of people in the world; those that like milk chocolate and those that like dark chocolate. And, the best marriages, are composed of one of each type of chocolate lover.

My earliest memories of Valentine’s Day consist of giant red hearts of candy that my Dad would bring home to my Mom. Invariably, they would be overwhelmingly filled with milk chocolate. Unfortunately, for my Mom, she preferred dark chocolate. Being the gentlemen that he was, my Dad would gallantly offer to eat the milk chocolate and save the small amount of dark chocolate in the box for her. It took me years to realize that my Dad wasn’t necessarily being a gentleman but, rather, a smart milk chocolate lover.

I prefer milk chocolate. My husband prefers dark. We’re, obviously, well suited for one another. Do you prefer dark or milk chocolate?

Happy belated Valentine’s Day Gotham!!!
