Women and Chocolate

chocolateWhat is it about chocolate, and why do nearly all women love it so much? Why do even some prefer it over sex?

Besides it’s great taste that puts a grin on your face with every little bite as it melts in your mouth.

Chocolate contains phenylethylamine, which is a chemical related to amphetamines. The results is that we feel more alert and contentment. It also makes the brain release endorphins, think about how you feel after the BIG O with your significant other. That is the effect from the production of endorphins in your body, which is probably a good reason a number of women prefer to eat chocolate over sex. I would think it’s because its almost guaranteed to satisfy you every time. Phenylethylamine also mimics the feeling you have when your in love, with high levels of phenylethylamine in your body it also relieves depression. This is another one of the reasons why so many women love chocolate – it’s a great mood elevator, from those stressful days at work and or with our families as we take care of everyone. I know that when I’m a lil down I WANT CHOCOLATE!

The Jalapeno Burger Challenge

Pretty much any place i go to eat I will order something spicy either some kind of Cajun dish or something with jalapenos. As far as fast food chains my favorite jalapeno burger up to now was the one found at Carl’s Jr simply called the Jalapeno Burger (I get the regular one and not the Six Dollar one, that one is way too big for me). At other places such as Wendy’s I would settle for the Spicy Baconator, but I’ve never been a huge fan of Wendy’s. Jack in the Box, well I don’t think they do have a spicy hamburger so I always settle for their Stuffed Jalapenos. And for McDonald’s, well lets just say I can’t remember the last time I stepped a foot into one other then to use the rest room on a road trip. But now a new burger steps up to the plate, and I don’t know about anyone else but I love it.

The Angry WHOPPER(r) sandwich is a flame-broiled burger patty topped with sizzling Angry onions, jalapeƱos, pepper jack cheese, bacon, tomatoes, lettuce and mayonnaise topped with Angry sauce on a sesame seed bun.

In the left corner we have the Six Dollar Jalapeno Burger VS the Angry Whopper in the right. If you have tried them let me know which you prefer. Unfortunately I heard that the Angry Whopper will only be around for a lil while.

My Chocolate Heaven

What woman doesn’t love chocolate? I know I surely do but I have dramatically cut back on my intake of it well at least in candy form (Ice Cream would be a different story). Lela knows how much I love my Lindor Truffles. And grabbed a bag for me while we were out today. What a perfect way along with a couple glasses of wine to start off our 2nd consecutive child free night.

Caramel Apple Obsession

Lela and I found an advertisement with the new holiday coffee creamers that came out. Ever since then we have been on the search for them. The other day I went to three different stores looking for this specific flavor. Today we succeeded in our mission, she decided to stock up on her obsession…

A lil drive to Julian

I know I still have posted pics from my Frisco / Sacramento trip. For some reason I just have no desire to go through them. Today I took my friend up to Julian for a slice of pie and a cup of coffee followed by a very short walk around town.

Where we had our pie, people drive from all over to have some Julian Apple Pie, we didn’t let the pie sit long enough on our plates to take a picture of it.

And just a picture of me standing around with my pudgy nose and double chin, lol…
