Thanks so much! Chocolate is one of the four basic food groups. The scientific name for the cocoa tree is theobroma cacao, which means food of the gods. ---

> [@Baker](#): > > **purplehorseshoe** , it’s from me. I thought I put a card in there. You likely did. I have not gone spelunking all the way to the depths of the package, preferring to save the rest & savor the fun. It’s sitting in front of my chair … taunting me. 🙂 ---

OK, I actually couldn’t get to the PO until Saturday morning. The clerk said that although my receipt says it’ll arrive by Tuesday the 22nd, Saturday the 26th is more likely. Grr. According to Mapquest I could walk it there by Friday morning. But no matter, this is just all part of the 2020 craziness and exceptional experiences. Belated presents are fun, too! ---

Tracking is showing my package delayed. I has a sad. I don’t know what I’m going to do if its lost. I drove 90 miles one way to buy the perfect noms and then drove all the way home without eating them. That was a huge act of self control which might not be able to be repeated anytime soon. ---
