But never fear, despite unsustainable rises in demand there is good news on the horizon.
Scientists in France recently released that they have almost finished sequencing the full genome of
Theobroma cacao which could result in stronger GMO strains of cacao that would make production easier, though ultimately it will take political stability in the Ivory Coast to guarantee cacao for the future since 40 percent of the international cacao production comes from this tiny, equatorial country.
Here's hoping we won't need to be millionaires to get our chocolate fix. The spoiled American in me shudders to imagine having to resort to indulging in carob chip cookies any more than I have to.
In the meantime, have you considered the possibility of stocking up?
In unrelated culinary exploits, I have yet more French bread success! And on Monday night during Dani/ny time, we made smoked salmon ravioli (of assorted shapes and sizes). I'll post pictures of that night up on Facebook in a short bit.

have I ever told you how much I appreciate your self-modeling in your blogs? =)
No you haven't, but thank you. I don't exactly have a ready supply of models at my disposal and sometimes you just need a picture. Though it would be a lot easier if I had a better camera and maybe a tripod.
It'll happen... somewhere down the road.
