Homemade Chocolate Syrup Recipe

By Leave a Comment

Many nutritionists and doctors claim that high fructose corn syrup will be the death of us. Dr. Oz, a nationally syndicated columnist and television host specializing in health, says that the average American ingests a whopping 70 pounds of added sugars each year.

That is more than one and 1/3 extra pounds per week. I admit that I do often indulge in sweets after a long, stressful week, but overall, I cannot imagine myself taking in that much extra sugar. Sugar in moderation is supposed to be beneficial to the human body, but an increasing number of studies are suggesting that more so than natural sugar, high fructose corn syrup contributes to obesity, diabetes, dangerous organ fat build-up, and many more health risks.  It’s a fine example of how even too much of a good thing can turn sour.

Cake Batter Milkshake Recipe

A bowl of cake batter should be neverending. Whenever I bake a cake, I try to save as much as the batter as possible for myself. And sure, I admit that sometimes I whip up a batch of cake batter, and before the oven even gets preheated, half of the bowl disappears. Cake batter is a sure favorite of mine, and another favorite sweet treat of mine are milkshakes. Nothing solves a craving for sweets like a thick, creamy milkshake.

Milkshakes Help My Pain Go Away

Everyone has their vices… some people smoke, some drink alcohol, and some eat to deal with everyday stress. I have to admit, my vice is food. And one of the best ways to deal with my stress, especially after having a particularly bad day, is by drinking my pain away. That means I usually will get a slushy, some sort of sweet tea or juice, or if I have had an especially horrible day, a milkshake or frozen coffee. Milkshakes, while high in caloric content, are so delicious that I have to indulge myself only occasionally, but when I do, the relief of a stressful day seems to literally melt away with each sip of the straw. Although I also must say, if I plan on having a milkshake, I won’t drive to the nearest fast food restaurant and order whatever they may have on the menu. Not all milkshakes are created equal, and I have certainly found a distinct difference in the quality of milkshakes from one food chain to the next.

Why Dried Lumber?

By Leave a Comment

Working with wood is a joy and wonder around the world. Some of the most luxurious pieces of furniture or architecture around are wooden. Regardless of the species, all wood must properly dry before any project can begin. The organic nature of wood is its strongest aspect and its downfall. The expanding and shrinking properties of wood are due to moisture or temperature change. These changes cause havoc in a project when they are not planned for or prevented. However, the well planned project will use wood that expands or shrinks to strengthen the joints and bonds. [Read more…] about Why Dried Lumber?

5 Homemade Ice Cream Milkshakes Not to Miss

By Leave a Comment

I am a firm believer that ice cream should have a food-group all to itself. It would consist of regular ice cream, sundaes, and milkshakes. Unfortunately, the USDA continues to disagree with me and recommends everyone to consume ice cream “sparingly.” My definition of “sparingly:” at least once a day or I will not sleep well at night. Don’t get me wrong, moderation is important but not as important as enjoying the best milkshake around. As a child of an ice cream loving family, many of our family vacations were planned around visiting the best homemade ice cream shops. While each store brings uniqueness and the exclamation that they are the best homemade ice cream store ever, the following list consists of my top five favorite homemade ice cream stores for a quality and mouth-watering milkshake.
