"In this world love has no colour - yet how deeply my body is stained by yours"

Diaries of Court Ladies of Old Japan, Izumi Shikibu 

You've stained my body so deeply and painfully and passionately to impress upon myself this provisional and perishable despair. My soul has faded. Each day I wait for you

It's not green, I know! I swear there is spirulina in it. I know 99,9% of you will cringe at the idea of spirulina chocolate but it happens that I love spirulina and I love chocolate so...

Spirulina chocolate
(vegan, grain-free, raw)

120 g cocoa butter
30 g agave nectar (use raw)
17 g almond milk powder
12 g spirulina powder

In a large bowl of warm (not too hot) water, place a smaller bowl filled with cocoa butter (basically a bain-marie). Stir well until the cocoa butter is melted (it takes a little time). Remove from hot water. Sitr in the agave syrup, spirulina and the almond milk powder. Blend in an electric spice grinder for a couple of minutes. Transfer into a mould. Refrigerate until it hardens. It's best to keep in the fridge as it melts quickly.

"Despite the overhanging mountains Switzerland was far away, Nicole was far away. Walking in the garden later when it was quite dark he thought about her with detachment, loving her for her best self. He remembered once when the grass was damp and she came to him on hurried feet, her thin slippers drenched with dew. She stood upon his shoes nestling close and held up her face, showing it as a book open at a page.

“Think how you love me,” she whispered. “I don’t ask you to love me always like this, but I ask you to remember. Somewhere inside me there’ll always be the person I am to-night.” "

Those energy bars are a copycat version of bars I scrupulously stocked up every once in a while (even though they cost me an arm and a leg) until they disappeared off the face of the earth.
