Here's a way to enjoy Valentine's Day without the extra calories

Read Bill Buford, Notes of a Gastronome, “Extreme Chocolate,” from the October 29th, 2007 issue of The New Yorker.

I came across this while researching for a Seattle Times editorial arguing that chocolate is recession-proof. Everything you've ever wanted to know about the origin and value of chocolate is in there. Plus, Buford is a good, evocative writer.
