Bug loves chocolate

Bug and I went for a walk in the drizzle to Safeway. We needed a couple things and Bug wanted to get out of the house for a bit. We usually don't walk in any kind of rain, but I put a towel over Bug's lap to protect his sweat pants and we were off.
On our way home Bug said he wasn't going to eat chocolate any more.
Ha.
I laughed.
Bug loves, loves, LOVES his chocolate. There is almost always some kind of chocolate treat in the house. On our Valentine's trip to Seattle Bug and I came across these dark chocolate covered raisins put out by Nestle. Oh they are good! Unfortunately they're only available in the US.
Bug isn't really a picky eater, but I did try and get him onto some healthier choices, like whole wheat bread. Bug loves his white bread. I was hoping to shift him to whole wheat and we did for a couple months, then Bug had me stop buying bread all together. Bug liked having a half slice of toast with peanut butter at bed time that he'd eat with his bedtime anti-nauseate pill. Now he has half an apple or a banana, no more bread.
I bought whole wheat crackers once. That was a mistake. I didn't tell him and I kind of acted like I'd made a mistake. He saw right through me and wasn't going to eat another one. I gave the box of leftover crackers to a friend and Bug was back onto his white salty topped crackers. Bug happened upon graham crackers quite by accident. We were at a friend's place and I had forgotten our little plastic container of saltines at home. All our friend had were graham crackers. Bug's eyes lit up when he tried one. He really liked them. They've become a staple item in Bug's pantry.
Bug hates olives. I bought yummy olive buns when we were first dating, thinking what a treat! He said, 'what a yuck!'
All our friends know about Bug's aversion to olives and tease him about it whenever they get a chance.
Bug has his set selection of cereals he likes: Froot Loops, Corn Pops and Cheerios (plain or honey nut). There's one type we sometimes buy when we go to the States as it isn't available in Canada; Cookie Crisp. He doesn't like Mini-Wheats.
Another thing we buy in the States because they're so much cheaper are Cliff Bars. These are a great thing to leave out on Bug's snack plate along with the Bar-B-Q or Salt & Vinegar chips. He's tried a few different flavours of Cliff Bars, but it's now narrowed down to Peanut Butter Crunch and Chocolate Chip Peanut Crunch. We buy then in bulk when we go to Trader Joe's in Bellingham.
Bug loves when I make salmon for dinner and really enjoys a stir-fry (with white rice). Before I met Bug his weekend caregiver got him turned onto perogies. That's one of Bug's favorite lunches, half a dozen perogies and a couple slices of fried baloney.
But his statement about no more chocolate...?
I'll believe it when I see it.
There's no way he'd ever give up the seduction of chocolate.

Until the next time...
