It is probably the most popular food ever. It is also probably the most popular flavor in the world. No one knows where Chocolate Day came from.

Chocolate comes from the seed of the tropical cacao tree. Cacao has been grown for thousands of years in Central America and Mexico. Historians believe chocolate was first produced in Mexico by the Aztecs. The word ‘chocolate’ comes from an Aztec word for a drink made from the cacao seed. The product of the cacao seed has a very bitter taste. The chocolate we know and love contains sugar, milk and milk powder. Chocolate contains chemicals that can be good for us. Scientists say it can lower our blood pressure and make us feel positive. It also gives us a tasty energy boost and makes our brain more active. It’s not all good news though. Too much chocolate can make us fat and give us tooth decay.

Chocolate Strawberries - The joy of Chocolate And Fresh Strawberries

Chocolate Strawberries - The joy of Chocolate And Fresh Strawberries

Chocolate strawberries may sound a bit strange to you that have not usually enjoyed it. In western countries, chocolate strawberries are one of the creations that combine a variety of chocolate delights chocolate and fresh strawberries. Generally, chocolate used was liquid chocolate that you can get by heating the chocolate bar then menghidangkannya with fruits, including storoberi.

Chocolate brown used must be high quality and exceptional in the form of white, milk or dark chocolate. Everything is very tasty when combined with strawberries. You can use chocolate that is "normal" or brown only, or you can try out your creations by using high quality chocolate from deChocola with dozens of flavors.

Chocolate strawberries are often served in a party and can cause long queues. Both children and adults really like a "chocolate fountain" which is already melted chocolate is pumped up into a shower and go down melt down, causing a scene that you can not refuse again and make you want to immediately menyicipinya.

Chocolate, Bad or Good?

Chocolate, Bad or Good?

In answering a question that chocolate is just junk food, we must know the properties of chocolate first. Savor chocolate that includes:
1. chocolate was nutritious to make age a person becomes longer.
2. Preventing the risk of coronary heart disease and cancer.
3. Prevent premature aging that can occur due to pollution or radiation.
4. Can make people calm and make the feeling of being happy.
5. Lowering blood pressure.
6. Recent research suggests that cocoa may also have benefits for treating stroke.
Once we know the properties of chocolate, chocolate was very beneficial for health. The question now is what is contained in chocolate making chocolate can be beneficial for health? I will try to give a little review on the basis of the data that I get. It's good we also know the composition contained in chocolate.
The following composition contained in chocolate:
1. Stearic acid (35%) and palmitic acid (25%).
2. Oleat acid (35%) and linolenic acid (3%).
3. Sugar (sucrose).
4. Theobromine.
5. Polyphenols.
6. Phenyletylamine
7. Catechin.

An epidemiological study has been conducted at Harvard University students who enrolled between the years 1916-1950. By using a food frequency questionnaire collected information about the habits of eating candy or chocolate at Harvard University students. By controlling the physical activity undertaken, smoking, and eating habits found that those who love to eat candy / chocolate age older than one year are not eating. Allegedly phenol antioxidants contained in chocolate is the reason why they can outlive. Chocolate contains polyphenols in high enough quantities and can act as antioxidants. Phenolik compounds can reduce the risk of heart disease by preventing oxidation and deposition of fatty compounds in blood in blood vessels and damage the Low Density Lipoprotein Lipid (bad fats). Phenol is also found in red wine that is well known as the drink is good for heart health. Brown has the ability to inhibit oxidation of LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) and improve immune function, which can prevent the risk of coronary heart disease and kanker.Lemak in chocolate, often called cocoa butter, mostly composed of saturated fat (60%), especially stearic. But the brown fat is a vegetable fat which does not contain cholesterol. High stearate content of the chocolate is suppose to be the reason why brown fat is not as bad as animal fat. Has long been known that stearic acid is a neutral fat that will not trigger blood cholesterol. Why? Stearate was slowly digested by our bodies and also absorbed less. One third of fat contained in chocolate is oleic acid is an unsaturated fatty acid. Oleic acid is also predominantly found in olive oil. Epidemiological studies in Mediterranean populations who consume lots of olive oil is oleic acid oleic concluded positive effect for health jantung.Selain, the University of California researchers also found that flavan-3-ols, compounds found in chocolate may reduce risk of cardiovascular disease.
Wait for the posting of my next ... I requested comments from friends are all yes.

Sugarfree Chocolates - IDR 46000/pack 

You like chocolate? Maybe you agree with me when I say that 99.99% of people would like chocolate. But whether chocolate should be consumed diabetisi? Well ... this is a problem for diabetics because almost all sweetened brown sugar. Pure chocolate taste is bitter.I've posted an article titled Chocolate diabetes blood vessel repair work (02/10/2008). Post the article to get a comment from Dame Munthe (22/07/2009) as follows:"There is a special chocolate made without sugar so it can be drunk by pederita DM. Tk "I answered with the above comments:"I've seen without the sugar-made Belgian chocolates are sold at a conter at Sukarno-Hatta airport."At that time I can only give answers like the above without being able to give evidence. On September 18, 2009 that then when I want to going home, I happened to go to the airport Soekarno - Hatta bit early for fear of jammed streets, I finally arrived it was too early (accidental traffic of current). But just give me the opportunity to see some tenants at the airport. Finally I remembered I was never given an answer in my blog about chocolate without sugar, I went directly to the tenant where I've seen chocolate without sugar was sold.On that occasion I photograph 2 times with my cell phone camera and this is proof there is chocolate without sugar as I have said above.Chocolate without sugar is sold at KERIS tenants at Soekarno - Hatta. If you happen to be in the airport terminal F (terminal departure), after you check in you can go to the tenants KERIS, lies before you go to the waiting room, you turn left (to your right going to the lounge Citibank), tenants located KERIS on the right after Starbucks cafe tenants.Well ... this is the photo of chocolate without sugar is sold at Rp. 46.000/pack.Unsweetened chocolate made in Belgium mentioned above, available in several flavors such as that seen in the photo above milk chocolate flavor, which is written only dark chocolate (dark chocolate is usually very good for people with heart disease).Belgium is very famous for its chocolate, I happened to have visited him in 2002. At that time I have not had diabetes, so time was delicious just eaten any chocolate. But thankfully my favorite food is turned out there that are made without sugar, so I still have a chance to enjoy it.

[article] The Power of Tradition

The Power of Tradition

The young husband obviously loved to cook and the dinners he served his new wife convinced her that she was indeed a lucky woman.

One thing puzzled her, though, and at last she decided to enquire. “Darling, why do you always cut a small piece off the end of the roast before you put it into the oven?”

“Well,” he replied, “to tell the truth, I do it because my mother always does it.”

At the next family gathering, the wife decided to satisfy her curiously. She drew her mother in law aside and put the question to her. The older woman went a bit red, and replied, ...“Well, to tell the truth, I do it because my mother always does it.”

Undaunted, the wife waited until they paid a visit to eighty five - year old Nan. Knowing she’d enjoy hearing the story, she told her about her persevering quest to find the answer to the chopped off roast.

“Struth” she croaked. “Imagine the two of them doing that! Why, I only cut the piece off because my pan was too small”

After Continuing through the forest for a few miles he came across a small boy carrying a bow and arrow. Eventually the boy admitted that it was he who shot the arrows plumb in the center of all the target.

    “You didn’t just walk up to the targets and hammer the arrows into the middle, did you?” asked the duke worriedly.

    “No, my lord. I shot them from a hundred paces. I swear it by all that I hold holy.”

    “That is truly astonishing,” said the duke. “I hereby admit you into my service.” The boy thanked him profusely.

     “But I must ask one favor in return,” the duke continued.

[article] Looking for a Ring

Looking for a Ring

There was a toolshed beside Nasreddin’s house. The shed, where he kept his tools, had no window at all. So, it was always dark inside although it was day. But there was a lamp at the corner outside.

One night Nasreddin went into the tool shed to get a ladder. When he was taking a ladder from its place, he dropped his ring. He left the ladder inside and went out of the shed.

Outside he started looking for the ring. He couldn’t find it even though he had been searching for quite a long time. His friend saw him searching for something and ap-proached him. He asked, “What are you looking for, Nasreddin?”

“I’m looking for my ring. I just dropped it,” he answered while he continued searching.

“Let me help you. By the way, where did you drop it?” asked his friend.

“Inside the shed,” he answered as he pointed to the shed.

His friend was surprised and said, “Why, don’t you look for it inside the shed?”

“Are you kidding? Inside the shed it is very dark. I cannot see anything there. How can I find it? It is very bright here because of the lamp. So I’m sure I’ll see my ring here,“ explained Nasreddin.

[article] Highway Panic

Highway Panic

A young woman had a long drive ahead of her that night. She pulled into a service station to refuel, then went inside to pay and buy herself some gum and potato chips. As she drove off, a huge truck pulled out behind her.

Out on the highway once again, the girl realized that the truck was very close behind, uncomfortably close. She stepped on the accelerator, but to her dismay, the truck driver accelerated too.

‘I must imagining this,’ she thought, trying not to panic. Yet whether she slowed down, changed lanes or speeded up, the truck stayed with her, its big headlights shining straight into her car.

Unable to stand it any longer, the girl turned into the next station she came to. The truck pulled off the highway right on her tail, jamming on the brakes, she jumped out and raced to the driver’s side of the truck.

At the same moment, a man leapt out of the back of her car where he had been crouching ever since the last stop. The truck driver was too quick for him and caught him just as he tried to make it to the open field behind the station.

Later, after the police had come, the driver went over to the young woman. ‘I saw him jump into your car just before you came out of the station back there, but there was no time to warn you before you drove off. The only thing I could think of was to stick so close to you with my high beams flooding your car so that he’d know I’d see him if he tried to do anything to you’

All she could say, with a mighty sigh of relief, was, ‘And here I was wondering how I was going to shake off a crazed truck driver’
