It appears that one square of dark chocolate a day is actually too much, judging by how my skin is reacting. One a week will have to be my new upper limit for the time being, I think.
In other news, I'd forgotten just what a nuisance fresh fava beans are. First shelling them, which is a pain because the pods don't split open in any reasonable way, as a rule, and then skinning them, which is less aggravating than I might have expected because the small ones are actually easier to deal with. When I'm done, a whole grocery bag of pods turns into a bare double-handful of beans that I then need to cook for half an hour.
They do taste rather better than your average green beans, though.
