Next time
I'll use regular marshmallows
In my hot chocolate.
This just doesn't seem right
Especially on Easter.
To: All; everyone
Good night, All. Sweet dreams.
Wishing you a Beautiful Easter with lots of chocolate.

Chocolate May Boost Brain Power and Fight Fatigue
The next time your energy slumps, but you need to be sharp, a cup of hot chocolate might be just the boost you need.
Thats because flavanols, which are chemicals plentiful in dark chocolate, fight fatigue and hone mental sharpness, according to scientists at the Brain, Performance and Nutrition Center at Northumbria University in Newcastle, UK.
Researchers gave 30 people a series of math tests before and after having either a flavanol-loaded chocolate drink or a placebo beverage. On a test that required repeatedly subtracting numbers, volunteers who got the flavanol-rich drink performed better than those drinking the dummy drink. In addition, the flavanols seemed to offset the fatigue from the intense mental concentration.
We asked them about their mental fatigue, and that increased, but the cocoa offset that increase, said researcher Crystal Haskell.
The brain-boosting effect is tied to flavanols ability to dilate blood vessels, allowing more blood to reach important areas of the brain.
The study also found that a 500 mg dose of flavanols worked best. Thats the equivalent of five bars of chocolate, so researchers are trying to discover whether lower levels work as well.
The amounts we were giving them were more than you would get from eating small amounts in diet, said co-researcher David Kennedy, But there is quite a bit of evidence showing that general consumption over time is protective against neurodegenerative disease and decline in cognitive function.
Flavanols are also found in red wine, olive oil, broccoli, blueberries, tea, and onions. Theyve been linked to lowering the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and brain function.
Enjoy an extra chocolate egg tomorrow.

~Alleluia ~ He Is Risen ~
Welcome To Sunday At Amy's Place
~Jesus Appears To Mary Magdalene~
John 20:11-16 (NIV)
11 but Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she
bent over to look into the tomb
12 and saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus' body had
been, one at the head and the other at the foot.
13 They asked her, Woman, why are you crying? They have
taken my Lord away, she said, and I don't know where
they have put him.
14 At this, she turned round and saw Jesus standing there, but
she did not realise that it was Jesus.
15 Woman, he said, why are you crying? Who is it you are looking
for? Thinking he was the gardener, she said, Sir, if you have
carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will
get him.
16 Jesus said to her, Mary. She turned towards him and cried
out in Aramaic, Rabboni! (which means Teacher).
