But I do Understand that it is (almost) Unbreakable, Unstoppable and Unbelievable!! Love it.

WINNER NUMBER 2 :

BACK PORCH EXTRAS!!!

I am a newbie to AUrifil thread and anxioUs to try some as Dorothy (Bernina 830) isn't too happy with brand X I am Using now. Your story was Ureal and had me hook, line and sinker!!
U did good with the U Pat gave you.
U as in U-turn

Choffy!  It's like coffee, only made from pure ground cocoa beans.
YUM!


Look at that yummy chocolatey goodness steeping away in my 
cute French Press!


And the best part?  It has ALL the benefits of Chocolate...
-Full of anitoxidants
-Heart healthy
-Boosts Serotonin (in other words, it makes us happy!)
-Lowers cholesterol and blood pressure
(to name a few)  
....With NONE of the fat!!!
Read this great article about chocolate from the Huffington Post:
