VALENTINE’S DAY … CHOCOLATE AS A GIFT ...
February 14 has had a centuries-long history of
being the most romantic day of the year. Since the
middle of the 18th century, the English-speaking world
has taken the day to appreciate its loved ones, lavishing
them with meaningful gifts.
In 1861, when Richard Cadbury introduced heartshaped boxes of chocolate into the market, a tradition
was born. Since then, the sweet confection has become
a hallmark of Valentine's Day and nearly every other
day of the year that we deem particularly special.Here
comes the favourites of the Stalkers …

VALENTINE’S DAY … CHOCOLATE AS A GIFT ...
Dark Chocolate
The rich umber and semisweet taste of dark chocolate
has all to do with its cocoa content. Dark chocolates are
composed of a minimum of 35% chocolate liquor-a non
-alcoholic mixture of ground cocoa nib-and little to no
milk. Playing with the cocoa butter to cocoa solid ratio
creates dark, or semisweet, and extra dark, or
bittersweet varieties.
PAGE 12
VALENTINE’S DAY … CHOCOLATE AS A GIFT ...
White Chocolate
The unique of white chocolate comes from its lack of
ingredients-namely chocolate liquor and cocoa solids.
Only cocoa butter, the fatty part of the cocoa bean, is
combined with sugar and milk to produce the ambrosial
concoction. It's sweeter than sweet taste can be
attributed to sugar, naturally. Some milk chocolates are
over 50% saccharine.

What could be more perfect than this job? Having
your lover get the same job and travelling around
together.

person who likes
jumping out and
scaring your friends?

Really, who wouldn't want this
job? There's are a variety of
chocolate consultant positions

brands. Forget wine tasting,
some people run chocolate
tastings and events instead. Not only does this job
revolve around socializing, but it's tasty too.
Luxury Bed Tester
Does anyone really have this
job? Yep, a student from Birmingham City University
landed a job at a luxury bed
company. They paid her 1000
pounds to sleep on designer
beds every day for a month. The goal was to distinguish
which ones offered the best night's sleep.
Get paid while you sleep then spend your days doing
whatever you want. Now that's what you'd call a true

Remember that resort job
hiring campaign that went
viral? It was for the position
of caretaker on Hamilton

Reef. It required the person to
relax, swim and explore the
island while blogging about
their experience.
About 35,000 people applied,
but only one was hired. We'd
still take those odds any day.

poems of American Literature.
The first poem is “Anna Bell Lee” by Edgar Allan Poe.
PAGE 30
100 GREAT POEMS OF AMERICAN LITERATURE
ANNABEL LEE
It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of Annabel Lee;
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.
I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea,
But we loved with a love that was more than love—
I and my Annabel Lee—
With a love that the wingèd seraphs of Heaven
Coveted her and me.
PAGE 31
100 GREAT POEMS OF AMERICAN LITERATURE
And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
My beautiful Annabel Lee;
So that her highborn kinsmen came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulchre
In this kingdom by the sea.
The angels, not half so happy in Heaven,
Went envying her and me—
Yes!—that was the reason (as all men know,
In this kingdom by the sea)
That the wind came out of the cloud by night,
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.
PAGE 32
100 GREAT POEMS OF AMERICAN LITERATURE
But our love it was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we—
Of many far wiser than we—
And neither the angels in Heaven above
Nor the demons down under the sea
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
For the moon never beams, without bringing me
dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise, but I feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling—my darling—my life and my bride,
In her sepulchre there by the sea—
In her tomb by the sounding sea.
