Subject: Melting Chocolate
Over 50% of the candy market is some type of chocolate, making it the most popular treat sold in the United States today. It isn't always easy to get chocolate to melt and set the right way when we are at home. It may burn, seize and occasionally it just doesn't want to get hard like it is expected to do. Heating chocolate is easy to do, the hard part is keeping it from burning, which
happens if it is heated over 200 degrees Fahrenheit, this is quite easy to do over an open flame!

Chocolate has a very complex flavor that changes and develops as it melts. The melting point of chocolate is slightly lower than the human body temperature, which means that the texture and flavor change as it melts in your mouth.
It is best to use a microwave only when you are melting less than a pound of chocolate, cut the chocolate into small pieces or use chips. Melt in short bursts about 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between each session. When the pieces are warm but hold their shape, (they will also be a little shiny and mushy) when you begin to stir. Continue to stir and allow the heat inside them to complete the melting process. Done correctly with a high quality chocolate you can get melted
chocolate that will harden just like you want it to, so stop heating just as it starts to melt.
Using a double boiler allows you to melt larger amounts of chocolate, select a heat proof bowl to fit the top of your pan, put about ½ inch water in the pot and put the bowl on top, don't let the bowl touch the water.

Put the bowl aside and bring the water to a boil, depending on the amount you are melting you can either take the pan off the burner, or turn it down to a simmer. Be careful not to allow any steam into the chocolate or it can seize, seizing is getting water in the chocolate this will cause it to be lumpy. Simply remove the bowl if it gets too hot, and put it back to increase the heat again.

Subject: Medical Values of Chocolate
There have been myriad studies on the subject of chocolate, and reading them in some instances you find it hard to believe they are studying the same subject. However, the one thing that everyone agrees on is that chocolate does have effects on the human body and mind, as does any other food or drink that we ingest.

Psychologists normally ignore the likelihood that any of the chemical compounds that make up chocolate could have an effect on the person eating it. They have attempted to convince us that it is because we have always been given chocolate as a reward; therefore we receive these pleasant feelings from this childhood event. Some even claim that we learn our liking for sweets from this activity; however this does not explain that a newborn will nurse more readily on a sweet liquid than on one that is not.

One other thing that is consistent is the escape clause built into each of these studies, the last paragraph usually reads something like this, “while this study has been complete, we have to recognize that each person reacts to different substances in different ways, therefore we can not guarantee the results of this study.” That was put in laymens language, when they say it, its much more complicated and more difficult to understand.
Medical doctors have as many different ideas of the values of chocolate as psychologist do, the claims of the medical profession include:
· Interaction with female hormones causing an intense craving once a month
· Action as an antidepressant
· Cough syrup
· Mood elevator
· Aphrodisiac enhancing pleasurable activities
· Anti stress agent
There are also medical doctors who believe that chocolate is not good for the human system, but can cause the following ailments:
· Migraine headaches
· Acne
· Tooth decay
· Obesity

It is quite obvious that with all of the studies on chocolate, no one can truly agree on any one thing being true, except these two things. Almost everyone loves chocolate, some more than others, and it is the highest selling sweet on the market.

Subject: Making Chocolate the Aztec Way
While the Maya drank chocolate hot, the Aztecs seem to have preferred it cool; at least that is what research has shown. One of the conquerors of Hernan Cortes wrote quite a bit about the methods the Aztecs used for making chocolate. His words were similar to the words written below, but are not exact.

The seeds, called almonds or cacao are made into a powder by grinding, added to this are other types of seeds that are also ground and put into a pot. After the powders are put in, they add water and mix it with a spoon. Changing it from one pot to another after it is well mixed; this creates foam that is then placed in another pot made for the purpose of holding it.
When they are ready to drink it, they mix it up, and then eat it with a spoon, the mouth is held open because of the thickness of the foam, and it goes down a little at a time. It is the healthiest drink and the best drink in the world, if you drink it you can go an entire day without eating anything else. He added that it was better to drink it in warm or hot weather because it was cool.

Chocolate was also called tlaquetzalli which meant “precious thing”, and was prepared as follows.
The housewife grinds the cacao beans, breaking, pulverizing and crushing them, she selects them and drenches them adding water sparingly, by aeration, filtering and aeration again, pouring it from basin to basin over and over again she causes it to form a head, foam, removing the head making it thicken, then dries it and pours water in it. Adding maize and water to it she made a gruel drink the foam was fine bubbles that tickled the nose, on bad gruel the bubbles burst. Mixing with other ground seeds like corn, the Aztecs considered this a very nutritious drink.
