Knit Wits!

August sees The Ladies Room talking about crafts. 

Which Craft? guest  Lee Ann Stremke writes:

Our Naperville Newcomers and Neighbors Club's (NNNC) Knifty Knitters group, started knitting together about three years ago when a couple of our members were interested in learning how to knit.  Our expert knitter, Mary Huth, was more than happy to teach us.  We started back then with just a few members and over the last three years have to grown to 18 members.  We meet almost every Tuesday and spend the afternoon chatting, enjoying dessert and honing our knitting skills.  We welcome beginners and advanced knitters.
    Knifty Knitters is open to anyone who is a member of NNNC.  NNNC currently has 400 members that enjoy over 40 different activities - everything from cooking groups to book clubs; movie group to investment group, quilting to card making, monthly luncheons, charity events and much more.  Please feel free to visit our website for our membership form and take a look at all the activities we enjoy.

Calorie Free Chocolate!

Chocolate Panache guest Brooke Llewellyn may be famous for her chocolate facials, but that’s not all she does. Her spa salon, tucked away in unit 305 at 2272 95^th Street, Naperville, offers a complete range of treatments for mind, muscles and skin.

Muscular therapies include several massages, with a special package aimed at mothers-to-be.

Brooke says: “Many people suffer from muscular problems, which can lead to a variety of other imbalances in the body. Massage therapy is an effective tool and approach to assist in correcting and releasing those imbalances.”

How much do you know about chocolate? Try our simple quiz to test your knowledge.

1.       Does chocolate really grow on trees?

Ans: Yes! Cocao seeds come from the cacao fruit of the Theobroma cacao tree, which grows in the area between 20 degrees north and 20 degrees south of the equator.

2.       Isn’t cocao just cocoa misspelt?

Ans: No. Cocoa is not the same as cacao. Cocoa is half cacao, half cocoa butter.

3.       When did chocolate bars first appear?

Ans: Chocolate was served in liquid form until sometime around 1660 when crude versions of chocolate bars began appearing in London.

4.       What is the most complex food known to man (and woman)?
