77% cocoa solids chocolate = too sweet.
I've got 85% cocoa sitting right here that has surpassed my tolerance. 77% is just about right.
We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

It's this going to limited sugar thing. Fruits are good, chocolate NSM.
I hadn't had anything weaker than 85% in a while. May have to give in and just go for the unsweetened.

I wish you could get less sweet milk chocolate. I'd like the sweet of dark, but with the creaminess of light.

You're a braver man than I am, Gunga Din.
On Food Network, there's a guy who does a show where he taste tests food on people on the street. One show was, "Would you rather have this 50% pure chocolate bar or this 100% chocolate bar?" It was amusing to see them taste 100% chocolate.

FYI: the second showing of Eureka is playing an hour earlier than I expected, i.e., it's on NOW not at 11 Central.

Nah, I've just trained up to it.
When your chocolate norm is 92%, there's nowhere else left to go, really.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Hmmm. I've got some Hershey's Special Dark. How do I find out its cacao % ?
eta: Oh, wait, I think I found it in small print on the packaging -- only 45%.
