A few hundred years ago, chocolate was the food of the extremely wealthy. Over the years, a number of factors reduced the price of cocoa and quality of chocolate so that now, low grade chocolate is the food of the masses. But what about getting a taste of extremely good quality chocolate? According to Zhocolate, their One in a Million Zhocolate is the best chocolate in the world? for a price my friend, that price being about $1,000 per box.Zhocolate (pronounced like chocolate but with a "Zsa") is aimed at the sophisticated consumer who knows the difference between a finger painting and a masterpiece. According to Sean Sloan, Founder and President of Zhocolate and its website www.zhocolate.com, "what it takes to produce a box of Zhocolate, is beyond most people's imagination or comprehension. It's not like any other chocolate anywhere.
I won't tell you how our chocolate is made, that's a secret, but I will say that I do not know of any chocolate anywhere that costs more to produce than Zhocolate. Because of this untouched superiority, I think Zhocolate is the best chocolate in the world. There's not even a close second."Zhocolate is so time consuming and expensive to create, says Sloan "that only one in a million people can even get a box. We can't produce any more than that amount." The entrepreneur adds, "it costs us up to 100 times more to produce our chocolate than the retail price of some chocolate makers. To say that Zhocolate is the Rolls Royce of chocolate is a severe understatement.
In my opinion, comparing some of the finest European chocolates to ours is like comparing a skateboard to a Rolls Royce."There's even a different way to eat Zhocolate than other brands.
Mr. Sloan states, "Zhocolate is different. If you eat it like any other chocolate, then you don't understand the product. How to eat Zhocolate is also a secret only our customers know and we don't publish that information either.
But I will say this, there is an optimum temperature and humidity for consumption. You see, Zhocolate is more than just chocolate. Zhocolate is an experience. It's one of a kind and should be treasured."Even the Zhocolate boxes are one of a kind. Says Sloan, "we don't publish the box image anywhere.
To see the box, one must own the box. Each box is uniquely different in ways that we do not divulge. We have to protect our brand." He adds, "The boxes are becoming collector's items already. Because of their extreme exclusivity, it is hard to find one. I think the boxes should be handed down to future generations."Zhocolate can be found at Zhocolate.com.
Zhocolate is not sold in any stores or anywhere other than the website.

Exceptions Break The Rule
The golden rule isn't: "Treat others as you want to be treated... unless they tick you off." Nor does the commandment "Thou shalt not steal" come with restrictions or blackout periods. It's a rule ? a very powerful rule ? that should be followed in all circumstances. Any exception would break the rule completely. What's the point of a rule, goal, or plan if you don't follow it? If you're not willing to follow a plan, idea, or goal straight through, then don't bother pretending.
You're only setting yourself up for disappointment. You'll be creating exceptions and restrictions that serve the purpose of making temptations easier to serve. For the Diet Seekers... Let me put it another way. Let's say you're following a strict diet where you can eat certain foods but abstain from desserts and sweets.
And let's also say that if you were to follow the diet unequivocally, you'd lose the desired amount of weight. So why do you create excuses when that mouthwatering piece of chocolate...

A Guide to Fruit Baskets
There is almost no occasion, event or holiday gift that can't be properly addressed by sending some kind of fruit basket. From humble beginnings as a device fruit growers used to expand their business beyond supermarkets, fruit baskets have become one of the most popular categories of gifts in the country. No longer is this merely a device for fruit growers to send out more of their freshly grown produce at retail prices.
Nowadays, many of the items advertised, sold and shipped as fruit baskets contain hardly any fruit at all. Fruit baskets have matured -- come of age, as they say -- and it's possible to satisfy a gift giving need by ordering a fruit basket from any of literally thousands of suppliers across the country.
You'll find that many of the local retail stores in town have some form of fruit basket deal to ship their wares, if not all year round, then certainly at appropriate holiday times. For at least two major gift-giving holidays, Mother's Day and...

Marzipan: Secret Ingredient in Heritage Holiday Baking
What do German Stollen, British Christmas cake, Danish Kringle and Spanish Anguilas de mazap?n share in common?
Marzipan, a bit of old world sugarcraft gaining popularity in the US.A confection that dates to biblical times, marzipan is a mixture of ground peeled almonds and sugar, gently cooked into a pliable confection. (Its close cousin, almond paste, contains a higher percentage of almonds and is used as an ingredient in fillings, in cakes or to make marzipan.)
Like edible modeling clay, marzipan can formed into surprisingly realistic shapes.
And it can be tinted then rolled to provide a smooth surface on cakes. Often, marzipan is flavored, citrus and rum work nicely, before being dipped in chocolate.
