Uncle Phil's Birthday Feast

[Uncle Phil]

As I have said before, I grew up pretty poor and birthday celebrations were just not an option.
So I decided when I was able I would have chocolate cake, chocolate ice cream and a big glass of milk on my birthday.
I figured if it killed me, I'd die with a big smile on my face and the undertaker would save money since I would already be smiling.
This year my birthday on the 13th came a little too 'close' to my six month blood draw/check up so I decided to postpone it.
Well, I had my blood drawn this morning and this is what I had this evening -



I am now slowly slipping into a mighty fine chocolate sugar coma ....

Growing up, German Chocolate cake was always my birthday choice. Chocolate, Coconut, Pecans….mmm. A jillion calories and worth every bite.

Happy birthday uncle Phil! Chocolate is a food group. And it should be enjoyed daily.

Cocoa pods are classified as "legumes", so basically beans - last time I checked that's a vegetable.


Also:
"Cocoa beans provide antioxidants, fiber, magnesium, iron, and essential fatty acids, and they are linked to heart-protective and anti-inflammatory effects. They are also a source of flavanols that may support brain function and memory."

Looks to me like you're eating healthy, my friend!
