every little thing she does is magic

'Tis the season of chocolate, and the joyful bounty that is mini eggs is upon us. Here's something my friend Tom just told me about: if you microwave mini eggs for about 30-45 seconds (depending on the microwave) they get all soft inside and are extra-delicious as a result.

The problem, of course, is that when you eat chocolate while you have a cold, your throat gets extra-thick-feeling, and swallowing becomes even harder. But they're so good, dammit!
