It's 'Bittersweet Chocolate and Almonds Day,' one that I can really (un)wrap my head around. After all, dense, dark and sweet chocolate has been often called 'the food of the gods.' Lucky gods, eh? The trees of this delicious delight, although native to South America, were brought to Mexico by the Mayans before being extensively cultivated by the Aztecs and Toltecs. Those cultures and many more since believe that chocolate in any form can be used to increase the ability to both give and receive love, as well as to enhance that same ability where money is concerned. And then we have almonds. Old tales tell that eating five almonds before drinking alcohol can prevent intoxication and drunkenness. Iranians use almonds to cure insomnia, while nursing mothers all over the world have been told that eating almonds can increase lactation while reducing headaches and guarding against the evil eye. The famous sleeping psychic Edgar Cayce said that eating three whole fresh almonds a day could keep cancer and other debilitating diseases at bay. What better marriage than a merger of these two magical foods? So indulge and enjoy on this day. Maybe we can change the axiom to 'a bittersweet chocolate and almond bar once a day will keep that ole doc away.' I said a mouthful there!
