  1. When I need to boost my mood, I listen to the Moldy Peaches. But chocolate works too! Sending positive thoughts your way …

  2. I hope you get things straightened out and that your appetite returns in full force. All your readers are thinking about you :D

  3. Sorry to hear you’ve been under the weather! But I bet these little babies helped immensely. ;) Loved your memories of 19 and being a kissing bandit! Ah, to be able to eat a jar of Nutella a day!!

  4. Food = chocolate of course…….doesnt everyone feel that way???
    Songs = can just choose 1
    Bruses – by chairlift (rec by you :O)
    When you feel it Brett Dennen
    Street Corner Preacher – Amos Lee
    I had a week like that last week. I found lots of much needed sleep over the weekend helped.
    Hope you are feeling better :O)

  5. BTW – Made your super powered hot chocolate for breakfast this am.
    It was amazing. Never thought to make a hot smoothie. Great idea for cool mornings. :O)

  6. Hope you feel better!
    Songs: Bob Marley “Three Little Birds” and Cyndi Lauper “Girls Just Want to Have Fun”

  7. Oh, Meghan, I’m not sure what happened but even the words FEEL out of sorts the way you just wrote them. Hope that whatever this is blows over soon…
    This may be nerdy and I was too young to enjoy these songs when they first came out in like, the ’60s and ’70s but I have a wicked appreciation for them now, especially when I need to smile/dance:

    Dr. Music – Sun Goes By
    Jefferson Starship – Miracles
    The Bar-Kays – Too Hot to Stop

    It’s a wonder I don’t sport a ‘fro and platforms each day…

    Now, may you have a sweet, peaceful, chocolatey day!

    Hugs,

    Odelia :o)

  8. I am sending super-big hugs, and a reminder that it may be time for a dance party with your chocolate. :D

  9. Hey Meghan,

    Mmmmm…I’ll be making a version of your Caribbean soup today, and that is love in my tummy in my opinion.

    Despite the crass title, “Fuck You” by Cee Lo Green is awesome.

    I hope you’re feeling better soon, friend :)

    Big hugs,
    Alex

  10. I am sorry things have not been so great. I too look to chocolate for comfort and ever since learning how to make my own chocolate and chocolate nut butter cups from you, I turn to that. I also occasionally buy 100% no-sugar dark chocolate (and eat it with a drizzle of agave on top) b ut I still prefer homemade. Hope things improve!

  11. Hey Meghan! Sorry you’re feeling down… I hope your treat helped a bit! I also recommend a bath and some wine. I just recently discovered The Kills, and their album ‘Keep on Your Mean Side’ ROCKS MY SOCKS. I especially love the song “Fried My Little Brains.” I’ve also been loving “Dance Tonight” by Paul McCartney. Serious feel-good song. Also, if you’re into 80’s-ish sounding music I’d highly recommend The Gossip and their album ‘Music for Men.’ Feel better!

  12. Great post. Who doesn’t love chocolate? (Okay, SOME people don’t.) You know, you could be a 30-something “kissing bandit”. ;)

    I find that rocking out to AC/DC or Bon Jovi helps my mood (Ohhhh I’m halfway there). Any 80s tunes, really.
    Food? Salty-sweet combos. Chocolate.

    P.S. Your accidental misspelling of “chocolate” while you were spelling it out is amusingly ironic. :P

  13. if it counts for anything, I usually find myself on makingloveinthekitchen for that im-not-alone-comfort/love/encouragement when I feel the crapsauce taking over, and it/you always helps. so I send the love right back to you now! namaste:)

  14. I always thought chocolate was something you had to buy. Never even thought about making my own. You’ve inspired me – thank you

  15. I could never pick one… so here’s a few : )

    Superstition – Stevie Wonder
    Hope – Fat Freddy’s Drop
    Most Feist songs
    Blue Skies – The Feelers
    Groovin Slowly – John Butler Trio
    Love Sunshine & Happiness – Salmonella Dub

  16. Mmm… I used mesquite instead of maca, and (raw) almond butter instead of macadamia butter. They are so good!

  17. […] 1 bar (100grams) organic / fair trade bittersweet baker’s chocolate (I like the 70% or higher) OR make your own chocolate using this recipe. […]
