Your Inner Chocoholic (by Karen)

What is it about Easter that brings out the crazed chocolate frenzy in us all? :) I'm a self-professed minimum 70% dark chocolate-eater, and yet I cannot help but oogle over all the shiny wrappers, cute shapes, and tantalizing varieties that line the supermarket shelves. I find myself wanting them even though I know I won't actually like it that much (at least not compared with my dark chocolate).

And then of course there is the Egg Hunt! We did one with our friends a few years ago, and I tell you there is nothing like the promise of chocolate to bring out the competitive nature in us.

Being with my 5 year old nephews this year was an entertaining experience. The enthusiasm and excitement was palpable, with the race to find the next egg before his brother resulting in them shooting straight past a line of extremely visible eggs and running off into the distance.  There was also no time for stopping to put the found eggs into their backpack, which resulted in them trying to hold 3 eggs in each hand, and run, and pick up more eggs … the dilemma of having to put one egg down to pick up another showing on their eager faces.

Easter is one of those holidays that just keeps on giving … I mean, how many of you got more eggs than you can actually comprehend eating? :) We've still got our very last bits of Lindt bunny to finish off this evening, as tomorrow we fly to Santiago and there's no space for them in da super packed backpacks!
