Chocoholics Anonymous

If there’s one thing my mother can’t live without, it’s sweets.  Chocolate, to be specific.  I’m a big fan myself, but my enthusiasm for decadent treats pales in comparison to Mom’s.

And she isn’t alone.  Most people respond so well to chocolate because it triggers the production of opioids in the brain (and yes, that’s directly related to the word Opium. Same idea).  For chocolate lovers—lovingly dubbed here as “chocoholics”—the idea that chocolate enhances one’s state of well-being comes as no surprise. Indeed it’s probably what has us hooked in the first place.  For this reason I’ve learned not to get between my mom and a piece of chocolate cake.

I poked around the internet, brushing up on my chocolate history and couldn’t resist sharing some fun facts. I have to admit,

Joe meets Josephine: Save on Gourmet Coffee

These days having a normal, plain cup of joe has become quite challenging. You walk into a coffee shop and you can’t just get a cup of coffee. It has to be a cup of French roast, or a freshly-brewed Italian blend, or a newly-ground fair-trade pumpkin-spiced espresso shot. So we made that last one up, but you get the idea. Complicated coffee doesn’t have to be a bad thing, though. Much like the first you tasted Sam Adams when you were used to drinking Miller Lite, a whole new world can open up for the person willing to experiment with gourmet coffee. Thus, Joe meets Josephine, in a world of complex caffeinated beverages. How does one navigate this new world successfully? WantACode is here to help you do just that.

It’s decidedly unpleasant when you pay full price (not to mention
