Hot Chocolate
Winter has surely set in here now and that need to feel warm and cosy and well fed is paramount for those of us who are fortunate enough in this day and age to be blessed with food on the plate, a fire on the hearth, shelter and the occasional Chocolate.
I had quite a good reaction to my recent background photo of the boxed chocolates. Of course they were there for everyone to enjoy and it seems we had some takers too.
Do you have a favourite chocolate?
I do and it is Dark Chocolate over Ginger... Yummy.
I found this catchy little Chocolate song on youtube.
Guaranteed to get you up and moving after you have eaten your small ration of Chocolate for the day.
As They Say
"Chocolate causes certain endocrine glands to secrete Hormones that affect your feelings and behavior by making you happy. Therefore, it counteracts depression, in turn reducing the stress of depression. Your stress-free life helps you maintain a youthful disposition, both physically and mentally. So, eat lots of chocolate! -Elaine Sherman, Book of Divine Indulgences"
"Life is like a box of chocolates – you never know what you’re going to get. -Forrest Gump in “Forrest Gump” (1994"
And How Can I do a Blog about Chocolate and not mention one of my very favourite movies.
Chocolat...Sigh Sigh Sigh.....JD......and Chocolate.
