In praise of the cheap chocolate bar

When I was a kid I promised myself that when I grew up and had my own money, whenever I felt like chocolate, I would buy some. Always.
And I have pretty much kept that promise and it was not until I started touring with First Chamber, I ran into minor problems.
We were part of a program called Community Concerts which gave smaller places a chance to see real live performances without having to travel hundreds of miles to a big city.
We,The Company, did the traveling.
And since these smaller places did not exactly have chocolate shops, I learned to get my fixes from dime stores and super markets, and found U-NO bars.
And I never looked back. They have been my favorite cheap chocolate bars since then, and I rue the day they may not make them anymore.
However, living in Mexico has curtailed my U-NO habit considerably except, once a year my Washington family brings me a supply.
And this is what made me write this.
Last night I ate my last bar, and now I have to wait to Christmas for a new supply.
But it is always worth the wait.
