Can’t decide on the food you want to serve at your party? Chocolate is always a good starting place, but what should go with it? You can mimic the techniques of gourmet chefs to make even very simple party food memorable. The main goal is to pair foods that bring a variety of flavors and consistencies together so that the individual foods enhance each other. Consider foods with a flavor that is nearly as strong or a little stronger than the chocolate. You don’t want either food to overpower the other. Salty, tart, and spicy foods compliment chocolate well. Also,…

Honey bees visit millions of blossoms in their lifetimes, making pollination of plants possible and collecting nectar to bring back to the hive. Lucky for us, bees make more honey than their colony needs, and beekeepers remove the excess and bottle it.…

Some are good enough to reuse and reuse but for anything with bleach in I use a glass bottle instead. Before you start making up your own DIY cleaners, the best thing to do is to look for offers on White…

Alas, it is only a dream for now, but EU-funded research has found that some of the compounds in cocoa, the basic ingredient used to make chocolate, have clear benefits even for healthy people. The crucial components are flavanols – a group of bioactive plant constituents found in wine and tea, as well as in apples and pears, and which are most abundant in the cocoa bean. The three-year FLAVIOLA research project studied cocoa flavanols and found some…
