On Salt and Sugar

Most people who know me also know that I tend to crave salty foods, fries and chips, in particular.

But ever since I moved to SmallTown, I find myself craving sweet foods, chocolate, in particular.

The strange nature of this craving is heightened when you realize that I have never been fond of chocolate. (I'm the person who is always re-gifting boxes of chocolate to my "chocaholic" friends.)

So, when a colleague left a box of chocolate chip cookies in the department's kitchen area with the note, "Please help yourself," and I saw that there were four left after everyone had left for the day, I brought them back to my office and enjoyed them immensely.

After all, a chocolate chip cookie is a terrible thing to waste.
