A hymn about fine chocolate

Selecting suitable snacks while solving puzzles can be difficult.  

I do not offer any food or drinks on the table when I have loaners. 

I avoid anything oily like chips or sugar-coated sweets as well.

 I prefer gummy bears, wrapped sweets or small pieces of chocolate. 

 

During that time, I came across the manufacturer  Tony's Chocolonely. 

 I would like to introduce this brand to you, which is not only committed to fair trade  

but also other values.

 

 The bars come with 180g (!) and a slogan:

Crazy about chocolate. Serious about people.

Not only do they want fair traded chocolate, they also want to end modern slavery. 

Globally. We all want to enjoy chocolate with a heroic background (yes, I am an idealist) 

and a good mind about the way it's been produced. 

 

 This is where I had my "Willy Wonka" moment. Remember when Charlie Bucket held 

a bar of chocolate in his tiny hands and carefully removed the foil to find his golden ticket?

I smoothed the foil so that you can guess the pattern of the bar

 

Here we go - a bar of chocolate (whole milk)

 

The pattern is unusual and creative, no "German" rectangular squares but 

various options to break it - and share it

This is not an advertising, I do not earn anything and I can not influence anyone to buy cheap or better chocolate. It is only an impulse to be more conscious with global resources and the people who have to deal with them.

Sometimes it's worth thinking about 

eating less but higher quality.

22nd Megamarathon >> 7th > 9th of July

 I can't believe how quick time passed by ... 6 months since January ... and here we are again, trying to assemble as much jigsaw puzzles as possible.

We celebrate records in summer as well as overall records in winter. Usually, the Megamarathon in winter has more participants and - of course - more jigsaw puzzles.

... with incredible help of my lovely husband :-) I assembled 5.629 pieces
During my participation on all 22 Megamarathons I assembled 154.507 pieces 
Since the beginning 138 jigsaw puzzle enthusiasts took part
all together we assembled 3.716.235 pieces

Enjoy my travel through time and space, accompagnied by some cute chocolate bunnies
