Chocolate Can Help You Be Thinner

SWEET!

Best news I’ve heard in years!

Especially around Easter time.

What’s the best way to stay thin?

A new study finds it’s

and

eating a healthy diet full of – chocolate

So should you start adding a bar of chocolate to your daily diet?

Researchers say it’s too soon to say.

I disagree!

Better to be safe than sorry!

Even though chocolate can be loaded with calories, it’s full of antioxidants and other ingredients that may promote weight loss, the researchers said.

What kind of chocolate is best? ~ dark chocolate, because of its bitter flavor,  may suppress appetite whereas sweet chocolate may stimulate it.

The study was performed by scientists at the University of California, La Jolla.

How much chocolate should you eat each day?

 About 1 oz or 28-gram portion of dark chocolate, or add cocoa powder to your food or coffee just once a day.

Newt Gingrich Prays For Win

Newt was very depressed because he hadn’t being doing very well in the GOP primaries for quite some time. He was no where near the 1,144 delegates needed to secure the Republican Party nomination. In fact, his popularity was so low, he was considering dropping out and supporting someone else. (whoever would give him the best political appointment).

It would take a miracle for him to get back in the running.

So he turned to heaven and prayed. “Lord, take pity on me. If you let me be successful in the next Primary, and help me get back in the race, I’ll give half my fortune to charity and stay faithful to my wife for the rest of my life.”

Miraculously, during the next Primary election, Newt was the very clear winner.
He looked up again and said to God, ‘Never mind, I did it myself.’

Take that!

  My Mother taught me about ‘anticipation.’

  “Just wait until your father gets home.”

• My Mother taught me to ‘meet a challenge.’
  “What were you thinking? Answer me when I talk to you! Don’t talk back to me!”
• My Mother taught me ‘logic.’
• “If you fall out off that swing and break your neck, you’re not going to the store with me.”
• You spend a half hour searching for your sunglasses only to have your teenager say, “Mom, why don’t you wear the ones you pushed up on your head?”
• You hear a baby cry in the grocery store, and you start to gently sway back and forth, back and forth. However, your children are at school!
• My mother taught me about ‘hypocrisy.’
  “If I told you once, I’ve told you a million times. Don’t exaggerate!”
• My mother taught me the ‘circle of Life.’
  “I brought you into this world, and I can take you out.”
• My mother taught me about ‘behavior modification.’
  “Stop acting like your father!”
• For weeks a six-year old lad kept telling his first-grade teacher about the baby brother or sister that was expected at his house.
  One day the mother allowed the boy to feel the movements of the unborn child. The six-year old was obviously impressed, but made no comment. Furthermore, he stopped telling his teacher about the impending event.
  The teacher finally sat the boy on her lap and said, “Tommy, whatever has become of that baby brother or sister you were expecting at home?”
  Tommy burst into tears and confessed, “I think Mommy ate it!”
• Mother to daughter advice:
  Cook a man a fish and you feed him for a day.
  But teach a man to fish and you get rid of him for the whole weekend.
• The mother of three notoriously unruly youngsters was asked whether or not she’d have children if she had it to do over again. “Yes,” she replied. “But not the same ones.”

Enjoy the Simnel Cake

The cake is made with 11 balls of marzipan icing on top representing the 11 disciples. (Judas is not included.) Traditionally, sugar violets would also be added.

Why Simnel?

The name Simnel probably comes from the Latin word similawhich means a fine wheat flour usually used for baking a cake.

There’s a legend that a man called Simon and his wife Nell argued over whether the cake for Mothering Sunday should be baked or boiled. In the end they did both, so the cake was named after both of them: SIM-NELL.
