Thanks so very much Mike.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n – – – – – – – –<\/span><\/p>\n Chocolate Lovers Everywhere! How could we NOT share this<\/em><\/span> NATIONAL<\/span> TODAY \/ NATIONAL DAY CALENDAR Holiday<\/span>.. The sources of most, but not 100%, of the information on our various \u201cDays\u201d such as this “Holiday”.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Dear Chocolate Cake,<\/p>\n It was love at first bite. You may come in many forms: layered, molten, bundt, fluffy, mousse-y, decadent, frosted\u2026 \u2026but we love you all the same. You\u2019re the reason we know what happiness tastes like. Your special day may only come once a year on January 27th, but you\u2019re also the reason we know how to REALLY celebrate a birthday or a sweet valentine. We would make ourselves sick over you. We would steal the last piece for you. We\u2019d even lick the bowl for you. But no matter what, we\u2019ll keep coming back for you.<\/p>\n Thank you always for your chocolatey, decadent goodness.<\/p>\n Sincerely, All the Chocolate Cake Lovers of the World<\/p>\n We can all reflect on past birthday celebrations and reminisce about an epic cake being present. Cake and chocolate are ingrained into American culture as natural symbols of love and celebration. No matter how you slice it, a chocolate cake might be the most memorable guest of the party.<\/p>\n Cake evolved from early leavened breads, which were sweetened with natural ingredients like honey, fruit, and nuts and then expanded to include ingredients like vanilla and chocolate. Its simple combination of ingredients, most notably chocolate, work harmoniously to trigger our brain’s natural production of opiates, which help alleviate pain and increase our positive feeling of well-being. It’s clearly the perfect combination of both simple and sweet.<\/p>\n Chocolate triggers the release of serotonin and endorphins, which are neurotransmitters for happiness and pleasure. It also contains phenylethylamine, which elevates our mood when we feel\u00a0 happiness or love. Who knew getting emotional over chocolate was so natural?<\/p>\n – – – – – – – –<\/span><\/p>\n Cap and Patti<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When one does a Post, you would assume that one would know what they (he or she) were talking about but NO !
