Good News for Godiva

For Kelli, myself, and anyone else suffering from this disgusting illness who has entered the coughing phase ... there is a study out suggesting that theobromine, a compound found in chocolate, may be even more effective than codeine at ameliorating persistent coughs. Now, that's the chemical, not the candy bar; who knows how many ounces are required for a therapeutic dose? I'm willing to make that experiment, in the interests of science ... bring on the Trader Joe's truffles.
