Good morning! Today is January 3, the third day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. There are 363 days remaining until the end of the year since 2016 is a leap year. Lots of time to work on those New Year's resolutions, one of which hopefully is NOT to limit your chocolate indulgence. In fact, research has proven chocolate beneficial for you...eaten in moderation, of course. Many experts recommend eating one or two ounces of dark chocolate every day!Before we delve into the chocolate madness, are you one who has leftover fruitcake? Perhaps you baked one for the family but you are the only one who eats it or maybe you received one as a gift with it still taking up space either on the kitchen counter, the table or in the freezer. That is, if you have not already given it away by taking advantage of The Most Popular Regift! If you do still have that fruitcake on hand, are you ready to get rid of it? Well, get ready for January 3 is...
