Chocolate for the Mind and Spirit

Have you ever watched Pushing Daisies? One of the characters bakes a mood-lifter herbal supplement into the crust of the pies she sends her aunts. A piece of that pie daily and the aunts are cheery and bright.

And why is it that when my sister has been sick this week, she did not feel better until my mom brought her up a huge pot of homemade chicken noodle soup? Was it actually the soup or the love my mom put into that pot?

So, what if food could really do that for you? Make you feel happier, more energized, and generally uplifted? Would you believe that is could be as simple as chocolate? The Intentional Chocolate Company has a line of pure, gourmet Hawaiian Vintage Chocolate with one extra ingredient: “the focused benevolent intentions of highly experienced meditators”.

Just read the company’s testimonial page if you want to hear from people who have actually tried this chocolate. Mind over matter is a very powerful thing and Intentional Chocolate takes this concept to the next level.

Why is Pizza Mia Still on the Market?

Pizza Hut’s new budget pizza, the Pizza Mia, is complete crap. It’s that simple.

I wrote my initial review and in a follow up asking for you, my readers, to tell me what you thought, the consensus was overwhelming. People hate the Pizza Hut Pizza Mia. Most agree it is not worth the $5 you will pay for each medium, one-topping pie.

My question is, are there still enough people out there that have not bought this product yet that Pizza Hut can afford to keep it as part of their menu? My belief is that the only sales they will make on the Pizza Mia are from first time buyers. I cannot image that many will return to willingly eat more.

Dig deeper into your pockets and come up with the extra money to order off of Pizza Hut’s regular menu – you will thank me later. Pizza Hut’s regular offers are some of the better pizza items on the take-out market. I have to wonder how long the Pizza Mia will stick around before it either pulls Pizza Hut under or the company just 2quietly dumps it and pretends it never existed.
