Friday's Fantastic Featured Quote-CHOCOLATE- !!

Chocolate Fudge
Hello to all my Coffee Cottage fans!!! It's a beautiful day and I have some fantastic featured quotes for this Friday......(try and say that really, really fast ten times without making a mistake!!) Today's topic is chocolate,so please leave your favorite "sweet" to share with the rest of us "chocoholics"!!!

Chocolate Mocha
Giving chocolate to others is an intimate form of communication, a sharing of deep, dark secrets Milton Zelman, publisher of "Chocolate News"

A chocolate in the mouth is worth two on the plate.

If it ain't chocolate, it ain't breakfast!

There's nothing better than a good friend, except a good friend with CHOCOLATE
Linda Grayson, "The Pickwick Papers"

"Liquidum non frangit jejunum." ([chocolate] liquids, amongst them, do not constitute a break in fasting.)
Cardinal Francis Maria Brancaccio of the Vatican, 1662

Chocolate: Here today .... Gone today!

Chocolate causes certain endocrine glands to secrete hormones that affect your feelings and behavior by making you happy. Therefore, it counteracts depression, in turn reducing the stress of depression. Your stress-free life helps you maintain a youthful disposition, both physically and mentally. So, eat lots of chocolate! Elaine Sherman, Book of Divine Indulgences

Forget love-- I'd rather fall in chocolate!!!

I never met a chocolate I didn't like. Deanna Troi in Star Trek: The Next Generation

Nobody knows the truffles I've seen!

Caramels are only a fad. Chocolate is a permanent thing Milton Snavely Hershey

A true chocolate lover finds ways to accommodate his passion and make it work with his lifestyle. One key, not just to keeping weight down and staying guilt-free, but also to keeping taste buds sharp (essential for the professionals who evaluate new products as well as judge recipes), Is being discriminating. Julie Davis of the Los Angeles Times, 10/30/85

*And remember The Coffee Cottage has all the chocolate you need to satisfy that "sweet tooth", whether it's a delicious, creamy mocha, or a chunk of rich, indulgent, chocolate fudge.

Last Thursday our topic was the five senses of hospitality and we discussed the first sense which is "sight". The next sense of hospitality is "smell".......one of our strongest senses!!!

The smell of fresh bread and hot coffee, is a universal perfume of comfort.
Hint: Real flowers are not only a decorative accent,but also add the aroma of their own that is both delicate and delightful!

Scenting Hint: 1.)A great way to scent your home is to put a cotton ball scented with your favorite potpurri or essential oil and pop it in the bag of your vacuum cleaner. 2.)Rub a bit of essentail oil on unfinished areas of furniture such as; underneath your coffee or end table.
