Changing The Rules On How To Eat Chocolate

Follow some rules on how to eat chocolate.

1. If you've got melted chocolate all over your hands, you're eating it too slowly.
2. Chocolate-covered raisins, cherries, orange slices, and strawberries all count as fruit, so eat as many as you want.
3. The problem: How to get two pounds of chocolate home from the store in a hot car. The solution: Eat it in the parking lot.
4. Diet tip: Eat a chocolate bar before each meal. It'll take the edge off your appetite and you'll eat less.
5. Chocolate also contains milk which is dairy. So candy bars are a health food.
6. If calories are an issue, store your chocolate on top of the fridge. Calories are afraid of heights and they will jump out of the chocolate to protect themselves.
7. If I eat equal amounts of dark chocolate and white chocolate, is that a balanced diet? Don't they actually counteract each other?
8. Chocolate is derived from cacao beans. Bean is a vegetable. Sugar is derived from either sugar cane or sugar beets. Both are plants, which places them in the vegetable category too. Therefore chocolate is a vegetable.
9. Put "eat chocolate" at the top of your list of things to do today. That way at least you'll get one thing done.
10. A nice box of chocolates can provide your total daily intake of calories in one place. Isn't that handy?
11. If you can't eat all of your chocolate it will keep in the freezer. But if you can't eat all your chocolate, what's wrong with you?

Langoustine - Norway lobster

Langoustine is found in off coast of Norway and was called as the Norway lobster as they are from the lobster family and are also interrelated to Dublin Bay prawns and scampi. Now a day they are found even in the Atlantic coast, Scotland, and the western Mediterranean, Adriatic. They are very rare, but are a delicacy than ever before.

This langoustine does not modify their color when cooked. They have pink, narrow smooth-shelled bodies, with long claws and do not have much meat. The tail and the meat in the claws can be eaten but the shell, head and thorax can't be eaten. They are found all over the year but they go off quickly, hence the langoustine will be cooked and frozen at sea, making it hard to find live ones.

If you are buying a langoustine is sure that they are still moving. Buy a large langoustine as they have more meat. Avoid those whose tails have started to turn black - they're dead. As a rule of thumb, the colder the waters in which the langoustines were fished, the better their flavor, this is why Scottish langoustine is particularly prized.
