Quite.

The chocolate has good things for you (isn't it a source of magnesium,
for example...?)  so maybe there's something in that...  :)

 ML> Ah. Oatsotto or maybe oatlaf.

Maybe... except that I'm nuking it... ;)  1/2 cup old-fashioned oats in
1 cup water (or stock, for savory), with a handful of raisins...  4-5
minutes on medium power... take out, stir in spice(s), top with butter
(and brown sugar, for sweet)....

Yup.  Not exactly by choice, but yup...

Some things are simply unknowable... the fiction often involves someone
managing to somehow cross into one of the other universes, and seeing
thereby the differences...  not sure how believable I really find it...

ttyl       neb

... I finally got my head together, and my body fell apart.
