It is the time of the month for me and these last few days I have been having intermittent migraine attacks. It just occurred to me now that what might have intensified the pain was the macaroni and cheese dinner I had prepared for our family last night. Cheese is the utter culprit [...]

Belgian based Inbev has finalized a deal to purchase Anheuser-Busch for $52 billion. I was a little surprised and disappointed at hearing this after seeing commercials this weekend adverting Budweiser as America's beer. I strongly feel that the Board members could have tried harder to keep this an American Icon. Apparently all they cared about was the money that is to be made from the deal. Sh

It’s about time someone engaged in meaningful political discussion.

You can not fail to please her, don’t give flowers when you have annoyed her or as a "please forgive me" this tactic usually fails.

You are what you eat. And you happen to think of yourself as fit, fabulous and even somewhat healthy. So with Easter around the corner, dark chocolate must be on your mind. You've read it before: Dark chocolate, the richer in cocoa the better, is not only a to-die-for treat, it's actually good for you. And just 1 oz of a very dark chocolate packs more than twice the healthy antioxidant punch of red wine. My new find: These little Chocolate Bunnies. At first glance, they may seem a little on the plain side but their secret is in the taste; not to mention that they are cute as hell. These solid dark chocolate rabbits come in 2 exotic flavors: Red Fire Bunny is flavored with Mexican spices and Black Pearl Bunny is Japanese with wasabi and ginger. Pure pleasure for all you chocolate bunny

Godiva Chocolates were launched in 1926 in Brussels, Belgium, when master chocolatier Joseph Draps founded, with his family, a chocolate company named in honor of the 1040 A.D. legend of Lady Godiva. Draps had perfected a unique formula of rich, smooth chocolate. With an eye for detail, he launched elegant, European shell-moulded designs and exquisite packaging. Through the years, his standards have been maintained as zealously as his recipes have been guarded. Since its U.S. introduction in 1966, Godiva continues to be a leader in the premium confectionery industry. Godiva’s famous Open Oyster, a shell-moulded chocolate filled with hazelnut praliné, is the company’s best-selling individual chocolate piece.source: coolquiz

Sometimes life does not work the way we want it..The night before the convention...we had to change our plans.  You see we had a surprise Friday evening...the notorious...Bobby Miller returned! :)  I have missed my son and very happy he is here....so indeed life is like a box of chocolates and you never know what you are going to get or who you will meet! Now I still went to the convention but WE did not go...the computer scientist did not feel well and Danny was with us.  So I took the trip solo but had an absolute blast.As I went through the trade-show...I moved quickly...I had sessions to attend.  I will say I was quite surprised when I stopped at the Zillow booth. I saw a familiar face.  Smiling Sara, that's right...I had to ask, "Are you on Activerain

During Valentines, everywhere is with flowers, chocolates and bears. Do u all girl out there love chocolates? I love them. Althought they are fattening, but I still like it.

We were going to just mention D’asse because of its odd name, but I was most amused when I actually found a box to taste! This is why I love living in a neighborhood with some great Asian supermarkets. You never know what gems you might find - and at $2 for a box, this one was a bargain! Strictly speaking, D’asses is not really a chocolate or a candy. Made by the Crown company in Korea, it’s two very thin, airy wafers which sandwich a thin layer of flavored cream. I picked up a coffee flavored version and it was awesome. Lovely texture, nice coffee-ish flavor without being overbearing, and truly delicious. The only drawback is the packaging - like a lot of Asian products, the D’asses are separately wrapped in foil envelopes, complete with diagram on how to open it. Every time I opened one (following said instructions) I managed to break the D’asses into several pieces. While there are several times in my life when I’ve wanted to knock off a piece

One of my favorite discoveries at the Chocolate Show this year is the California-based chocolatier Charles Chocolates. They’re located in Berkley, California where they produce all their extremely tasty confections. I met the founder and head chocolatier at the Chocolate Show, Chuck Siegel, who is an extremely enthusiastic and committed fellow. He loves to create chocolate and sweets and you can taste it in his work. While at the show I was able to taste only some of what Charles Chocolates has to offer. I was very interested to try the Pate De Fruit and some of the nut confections that they produce, since I’ve only heard fantastic things about them. When I expressed my interest in trying these sometime, Chuck was eager to satisfy my desire. The Holiday Box Assortment is made of entirely of chocolate. Yes, that’s right. Even the box is edible. How cool is that? The top is white chocolate with a beautiful pattern of colorful presents on it. It’s very festive a

Chocolate is the perfect gift. It’s always the right size, never the wrong color, and appeals to kids from 1 to 92. All chocolate is not created equal, and if you’re looking to truly delight someone, go for the best. Sumptuous, yet simple. Rewarding and rich. When confections taste like Emily’s, ’tis the season for sharing indeed! Check It Out

With all the buzz about the increasing health benefits of dark chocolate recently, it’s only natural that the big guys cash in on the trend. Mars, which owns the fast growing brand Dove, has released new bars that cover the dark chocolate and single origin trends. A few things to note before I move onto how they taste. Firstly, in order for a chocolate to be called “dark” here in the United States, it has to have at least 35% cocoa solids. So, as Dove sees it, if 35% is dark then 63% must be extra dark. I wonder who they think they’re fooling. Secondly, the “single origin” beans they’re using come from the Forastero cacao bean. Forastero is the least flavorful cacao bean there is and it’s used more for bulk processing of chocolate. So right away, I’m skeptical of this line of chocolate. Now, all my chocolate snobbery aside, I actually was pleased with this chocolate. Even though it’s nothing to compare to Guittard, El Rey,

Cole and I are like Santa's elves this year. I love making things with him. It took me a while to find my feet and confidence as a Mum - I didn't find it easy to play games like football or just much about and be silly (although I have to say, I've gotten MUCH better with practice!) But one of the things I've always enjoyed doing with Cole is making things and Cole is always working away on something that it's a lovely thing that we both enjoy doing together. So this year we're making a lot of our Christmas presents at home and this weekend we made home made chocolates. There seems to be a glut of really fancy chocolate popping up all over the place from fancy shops to supermarkets. They always look so pretty but are pretty pricey so we thought we could do better ourselves. I have to say that the results were thrilling (I'm I going over the top being 'thrilled' by homemade chocolates? what am I saying? It's chocolate - it doesn't need any other excuse!) and they were

I was recently sent a box full of treats from Sweet Earth Chocolates, a California-based chocolate company that prides itself on selling organic, fair-trade treats. A portion of Sweet Earth’s profits go to support Project Hope and Fairness, a non-profit organization that supports cocoa farmers in Africa by promoting sustainability, agricultural education, and fair-trade practices. The package that Sweet Earth sent included this info, as well as beautifully wrapped chocolate bars, clusters, and peanut butter cups. Chocolate Bars The two chocolate bars I sampled were the Peppermint Crunch bar and the Organic Bittersweet Chocolate bar. The Peppermint Crunch bar is quite good - there are strong peppermint undertones, thanks to the addition of real peppermint oil, which gives the candy a robust flavor and scent. Unless you’re a dark chocolate lover, this may not be the bar for you, as the chocolate itself is 65% bittersweet and has a very strong taste. I loved it (chocolate

I twisted Spike's arm into doing a video review for everyone. The camera loves him, but it's not a mutual affection. Here he is reviewing the new Ferrero Rocher Rondoir chocolates. It's the company's first dark chocolate product. But Spike says it better than I ever could:In celebration of the upcoming holidays, Ferrero started a campaign in conjunction with the Share Our Strength organization. SOS works to end childhood hunger in America. Ferrero created a site called Share Something Sweet where you can make and send free customized snow globes. So if world hunger isn't your thing, chuck a few snow globes at your friends. Because we can't all sit around and eat chocolates on Monday nights.

One of the many nice things about attending the Chocolate Show was the opportunity to familiarize myself with all the chocolatiers to which I normally don’t have access. One of the gems I found was Christopher Norman Chocolates. Despite the fact that I can somewhat easily travel to New York City, I’ve never made it to the area where their factory and shop are located. After tasting their samples at the show, it is now on my “to do” list. These chocolates belong to the painted tiles series that they produce, which is only one out of an impressive array of other chocolate bonbons. John Down, the Chief Chocolatier, uses an innovative artistic technique blending fine painting and good chocolate. So you could say he is a master of both mediums! The three chocolates are nicely shaped rectangles which are strikingly beautiful. They are all handmade and hand painted so there are no two alike. I got samples that have red, yellow and orange painted tops, and they are ju

I do think it is a sorry thing that dogs can’t have chocolates because it’s just bad news for their health. I cannot understand why a harmless, even so deliciously tasting sweet thing such as the chocolate can be lethal to our pet dogs. What’s good for the master is also good for the pets, right? What’s with chocolate and dogs need to hate it? Well, blame everything on an ingredient of chocolate called theobromine. Actually it is a stimulant present in cocoa beans, which is the main ingredient for making chocolate. What really is the effect of theobromine on dogs? It varies on the amount of theobromine that your dog has taken in. If your pet dog has ingested a great amount of chocolate, it could lead to death. Fewer amounts can cause muscle tremor and other complications on the animal’s nervous system. How do you know your dog is experiencing chocolate poisoning? Here are symptoms and signs to know if your pet dog is poisoned by chocolates. Toxic levels of theobromine will

All chocolate lovers are going to be happy to learn that they need not stop eating chocolates to get pimple free skin. Some studies today prove that eating chocolates does not actually help start or aggravate an acne attack, but instead helps clear zits and spots.   It is the company Borba, which offers edible skin care products and beauty power drinks that has introduced the Chocolate Clarifying Bar that instead helps fight acne. This is a chocolate that contains ‘skin balance clarifying aqua-less crystalline powder’.   This is an ingredient that helps in skin regeneration and removes toxins from your skin. This is a crystalline powder that is actually micro cellulose which proves to be beneficial in stimulating and promoting bowel movements.   It is because bowel movements eliminate toxin from the body, and acne is reduced and diminished with the elimination of toxins that that this chocolate bar helps control acne.   With the removal of toxins from the body, Chocolate Cl

Paul A. Young Fine Chocolates33 Camden PassageN1 8EA Tel: 020 7424 5750 Date of Last Visit: Saturday, October 13th, 2007 The Victim: Me The Damage: £15 The Background: Sarah and Arielle have invited me over for tea and cake. I remember reading somewhere that guests should always bring chocolate. I am wandering down Camden Passage on my way to the tube (it's the scenic route) when I come across Paul Young (the store, not the person). Chocolate! To be honest, chocolate is not really my thing. I like cheesecake. And lemon tart. And the odd ginger snap. But one step into Paul Young, and I'm hooked. And hey, there's Paul himself! (I remember reading somewhere that he has ginger hair. There he is, walking around with boxes! Brush with fame.) I'm approached by a friendly staff member with a white glove. She hand packs my selected chocolates for me (the stilton one being an odd, but delicious and cheesecake-y addition), and I give in to temptation and grab a ginger stem brownie t

Trying to cut sugar from your diet can get difficult when chocolate cravings hit. I had a sliver of time between work and class one night, and I stopped at Walgreens for a snack - the chocolate demon was attacking, and I had nothing to bolster my defenses. I headed for the small sugar-free section on the candy aisle and went through the internal debate - do I want real chocolate? Chocolate-flavored hard candy? Something new, or something tried and true? I wanted something new, it seems. After about five minutes of staring down the sugar free chocolates, Dove’s latest caught my attention. The velvety brown bag with tantalizing raspberries and chocolate shavings drew my eyes in, and the adjectives in the candy’s name hooked me. Sugar Free Dove Rich Dark Chocolates with Raspberry Creme; not only is this chocolate dark, but also rich and infused with raspberry goodness. The 3.40 ounce bag costs $3.49 and contains about two and a half servings. Each piece is individually wrapp

Article Title: Chocolates: How Toxic Can They Be For Your Dog?Author: David P LeeVery few would say they don't love chocolates. Did you knowthat chocolate can be harmful to your pet dog? Chocolate can betoxic, but exactly how much chocolate must be ingested before anadverse reaction takes place? Theobromine: The Offending Substance A substance called theobromine is what makes chocolate adangerous food to dogs. Theobromine is a xanthine compound thatbelongs to the same family that caffeine and theophylline do. If your dog accidentally ingests chocolate, his reaction willdepend on the size of your dog, your dog's sensitivity, and howmuch theobromine is present in the chocolate. Typically, yourdog will become quite ill if it ingests too much chocolate. Concentration of Theobromine in Chocolate Allowable - 1 oz. milk chocolate for every 1 lb of a dog's weight - 1 oz. semi-sweet chocolate for every 3 lbs of a dog's weight - 1 oz. Baker's chocolate for every 9 lbs of a

You know how Starbucks cafes are - they pop up on adjacent street corners, court one another, breed and multiply. You might drive or walk past a dozen of them during your daily commute to work. As if that weren’t enough, now Starbucks and Hershey’s are teaming up to offer coffee and chocolate flavored treats and confections, beginning this fall. “Chocolate is the perfect complement to coffee and tea and has long been a part of the coffee-house experience. We are excited to bring premium chocolate inspired by Starbucks coffee and cafe flavors to Starbucks customers and chocolate lovers,” said Gerry Lopez, president of Starbucks Global Consumer Products Group, in a press release. They’re starting with a premium hot chocolate, which should hit shelves sometime this fall. The two companies are also looking into creating chocolate bars, truffles and chocolate-covered coffee beans. It was really only a matter of time before somebody came up with the idea of combining

Acne is a skin condition I am sure practically all of you have suffered from at one time or the other in your lives. Though I have tried many creams to help cure acne, I have noticed that your daily diet and nutrition intake greatly affects your acne management.   1. Like for all health problems in life, water is a very important part of your acne nutritional problem. In fact distilled water is a better choice. Drink at least 6-8 ounce glasses of pure water. I wouldn’t suggest any major changes in the diet for acne; however it does seem to be beneficial if you avoid high-fat, fried foods and salty foods as these foods tend to aggravate acne. 2. You could try avoiding dairy products for a month as some people develop allergic reactions to dairy products. It is the fat content of the dairy product that can worsen acne. When re-introducing dairy products into your diet, remember to introduce only one product to your diet at a time. This way you will be able to find out what triggers yo

Godiva Chocolates, originally uploaded to Flickr by moby74. Part of Trin’s birthday present - the Gold Ballotin Collection from Godiva. 32 pieces of pure Belgian, orgasmic, chocolate ecstasy! Exquisitely made. They taste soooo good!! She had better savour every last bite!

Somewhere in one of the numerous food magazines that I read each month was an article on premium single origin chocolates, highlighting four new bars from Hershey’s, each with it’s own unique flavor profile. Here, in the chocolate world, we come upon the concept of ‘gout de terroir’ which translates into ‘taste of the earth’ ( say “gu-d te-rwar” as Merriam Webster online dictionary tells me)  and is most commonly found in wine talk as the specific tastes, nuances and subtleties that evolve from the soil, temperature and climate factors found in wine growing regions all over the world. The terroir in France is responsible for producing the unique, one of a kind flavors of the legendary wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy, and the clean, crisp tastes of the Champagne region’s famous bubbly.

Haih... Something extremely bad happened on Sunday. The night before, I downloaded AVG Free from download.com. Ok, then I went to sleep. Sunday morning when I woke up, I couldn't log on my laptop. The darn thing just stubbornly kept 'welcoming' me and wouldn't do anyting else. Dread filled me as I recalled the same incident occurring to Farah after she updated her antivirus using IMU's wireless. Confirmed - it's the virus from the uni's 'Electronic Learning Lab 1' acting up on my hard drive.Ah.... Ah.... AAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!*sorry if it sounds fake; try it at faster intervals; that's how I vent my frustration - accompanied by fist banging on my poor defenseless plywood desk*I didn't know what to do. Farah had her laptop reformatted by the Help Desk people (at uni). If I wanted to do the same, I'd have had to wait until Monday before anything can be done. That's a WHOLE DAY WITHOUT INTERNET ACCESS!!!Then it dawned to me how very addicted I am to the web. I seriously cannot live

You are what you eat. And you happen to think of yourself as fit, fabulous and even somewhat healthy. So with Easter around the corner, dark chocolate must be on your mind. You've read it before: Dark chocolate, the richer in cocoa the better, is not only a to-die-for treat, it's actually good for you. And just 1 oz of a very dark chocolate packs more than twice the healthy antioxidant punch of red wine. My new find: These little Chocolate Bunnies. At first glance, they may seem a little on the plain side but their secret is in the taste; not to mention that they are cute as hell. These solid dark chocolate rabbits come in 2 exotic flavors: Red Fire Bunny is flavored with Mexican spices and Black Pearl Bunny is Japanese with wasabi and ginger. Pure pleasure for all you chocolate bunny lovers. We know you're out there.

Let’s look at each individually: Chocolate Covered Blueberries: These are wonderful. They are truly delicious. The ratio of chocolate to blueberry is just perfect. I could easily eat a whole bag of these in one sitting. For comparison, I tried out some Harry and David chocolate covered blueberries and they were nothing compared to Ms. Chocolate’s. Chocolate Covered Apricots: Honestly, I don’t know
