'Sweet Thoughts' for Father's Day

June 17, 2006 / by greatmartin

(From the 2006 chocolate calendar)

Don't know about you but I will be celebrating Father's Day (and my friend Al's birthday) eating for a FEW hours at the historic Riverhouse Restaurant on the New River waterfront in Ft. Lauderdale--fabulous brunch buffet--and I hit the chocolate table first--as a magnet on on fridge says, "Life is uncertain: eat dessert first!"

Queen Victoria liked chocolate so much that she sent 500,000 pounds of it to her troops one Christmas.

"Researchers discovered...similarities between chocolate and marijuana, but can't remember what they are." Matt Lauer

"A chocolate in the mouth is worth two on the plate" Anonymous

Sculpting your foil wrapper shows you are an experienced, ardent and passionate lover.

"Chocolate is always there for you when you don't have anyone's shoulder to cry on." Anonymous

"Life is like a box of chocolates...full of nuts!" Bumper sticker

"There's more to life than chocolate, but not right now." Anonymous

"I go up and down on my weight. I bought some scales in January and kept them in the kitchen, but now they're in my chocolate drawer!" Nigella Lawson

dark chocolate contains about eight times the antioxidants as strawberries, which rank highest among fruits--so don't feel guilty eating chocolate covered strawberries--hey are good for your health!

    that was a gtoos example of any port in the storm, right. And we avoid any of the fair food, it was too hot out to be hungry.

    "Too hot to be hungry"?!?!?!? You obviously don't have a fat mind--it is never too hot, too cold or too anything to be hungry. Wait til you read my blog later of what I ate at the Father's Brunch buffet today--and in florida in June it is always hot and humid!
    Besides hot weather means ice cream, those awful sweet cold ades, cotton candy and corn on the cob--the latter to even your inside body temperature with your outside temperature--and who says logic enters the picture?![LOL]
