Niagara Popcorn Cake Unlocks Secret to Good Conversation

Not getting much feedback from your college kid? Wonder if they are alive and well? Send them Niagara Popcorn and you will hear about it.

Niagara-Popcorn-cakeGetting only one syllable responses to my requests for detailed and up-to-date reports on how my son was doing, I decided to try a new tactic. (All I got was a text saying “good” the last time I asked how he was doing.)

I had a Niagara Popcorn CandyCake delivered to him at college. That’s right – at his college. He loves white chocolate so that’s what I choose and I ordered it all online.

What is a Niagara Popcorn CandyCake? CandyCakes are 6.5″ wide by 1.75″ high round milk chocolate popcorn cakes filled with M&M’s and topped with chocolate drizzle and a gold-dusted milk chocolate medallion. They are presented in a sophisticated brushed gold and white striped box with white satin ribbon, which I am sure my college boy really found amusing.

What I got back after he received and enjoyed his CandyCake, was a glowing report about how good it was, how he was surprised because he’d never seen such a thing, many thanks from him and his roommate, and a tidbit about what he’s up to.

OMG – I got a response of more than one syllable!

So if you want to hear from your college kid, send a CandyCake from Niagara Popcorn. It’s probably a really nice treat to send for birthdays and special accomplishments too but I will resort to sending candy for some communication.

And while you’re at it, you might want to order one for yourself too at their online store.

You can also visit Niagara Popcorn at the Broadway Market, 999 Broadway, Buffalo NY and at the Comfort Zone Cafe locations.

Healing Techniques at Points Acupuncture

At Points Acupuncture, 2658 No. Main Street in Newfane, NY, we offer a full range of TCM – Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Points Acupuncture, Newfane NYOf course we practice acupuncture, a very safe, painless and effective holistic treatment, in which, very fine, sterile, disposable needles are inserted into specific areas of the body, called acupoints, along energetic pathways, called meridians, but that is not all we offer.

Perhaps you have never heard of some of these TCM techniques like Moxibustion, Cupping and more, so here is some basic information about a few of the TCM modalities we offer at Points Acupuncture, specifically Gua Sha, Oi Jong and Tai Ji.

Gua Sha
A healing technique that involves palpation and cutaneous stimulation by a round-edged instrument that results in the appearance of petechiae, or “sha” that usually fades within 2-3 days. Raising sha helps promote the movement of Qi and blood to promote normal circulation and can be used to alleviate pain and treat acute or chronic conditions.

Qi Gong and Tai Ji
Use slow, graceful movements and controlled breathing techniques to promote the circulation of Qi and blood within the body to enhance overall health. It can improve health by reducing stress, increasing flexibility and agility, improving muscle strength, increasing energy and feelings of well-being.

Call us at 628-3802 to learn more about these techniques, acupuncture or to schedule your appointment.

What You Need to Know About The Color Purple

Courtesy Summit Print & Mail, LLC

Summit Print & Mail, Lockport NYIf you have been asked to design a piece for your company or non-profit, did you know that not all colors are equal?

According to John Butcher of Summit Print & Mail, Lockport, NY, there is a color that you should avoid for a couple of important reasons – purple.

When you are choosing PMS colors for your print job, you are better off to stay away from violet colors. That is because violet colors have a chemical makeup that is different than other colors and it is difficult to dry.

In addition, violet colors have considerably more rub off than other colors, so over time and handling, your piece can look worn or dull.

Need advice on what PMS colors to choose? Not to worry. Call John or Cookie Butcher at Summit Print & Mail and see what they can do for you. They have been in the business for years and are the winners of multiple awards for quality and craftsmanship.

Maedl's Woodcrafts, Middleport NYLaminates are typically made from a thin layer printed paper bound with melamine resin attached to high-density fiberboard. <– See photo left.

They look great, come in many colors and finish options and they are affordable – much more affordable than the real thing in most cases.

Many folks think they want natural stone, metals, engineered stone or granite only to be disappointed when it cracks, gets scratched, smudged or stained or is damaged from a hot item placed there.

Let’s look at natural stone as a choice. This can include granite, marble, slate and soapstone that are sourced from quarries around the world. So, no two cuts are the same.

While natural stone is naturally heat and scratch resistant, extremely durable and comes in a wide variety of grains and hues, it’s expensive. The softer stone can crack, chip or scratch. It can also be porous and absorb stains easily. When that happens, which is often, it requires regular maintenance and sealing. And the countertop joints are visible. The price range for stones run from $60 to $150 per square foot installed. That’s expensive.

If you want to stay within your budget and still want to have a beautiful kitchen, Rick recommends a high definition laminated counter top. It will have the look you want and last.

Call Maedl’s Woodcrafts at (716) 735-7631 to ask about the benefits and wide range of color and texture options for high definition laminate counter tops for your kitchen. Visit the Maedl’s Woodcraft showroom online.

Diantiques of Gasport

Diantiques, Gasport NYStopped into Diantiques in Gasport yesterday and what a surprise! The place is full of a wide range of interesting items, one of which I purchased.

For a great look inside, look at these shots – Diantiques – and you will want to stop by yourself. Lots of jewelry too, which I am a bit partial too but I bought a hanger for my plant on my first visit.

My Love For Cupcakes Is Appreciated

Sweet Sixteen Cafe, Lockport NYImagine how tickled I was to see my sweet photo of three cupcakes made at the Sweet Sixteen Cafe, 16 W. Main Street in Lockport, on a flyer!

My love for cupcakes can’t be hidden. Neither can the 10 pounds they have left on me, but that is another story. The photo brought out the best in those three little beauties and it was sweet, even if I do say so myself. It was even sweeter to have someone else think so!

When I visited for a delicious lunch this Friday, I spied the photo I had taken on a little flyer at the counter and I was glad to see that these works of art were getting the proper attention in the front of that flyer.

And it was no surprise that my lunch was very yummy. I had the “Pick Two” special and chose a turkey sandwich and Winsor Salad. (Who would have thought that pineapple was so great on a salad?) Of course, the little mini cupcake served on the side was the perfect meal topper.  (Okay, two of them would have been the perfect meal topper.)

Next time you stop in the Sweet Sixteen Cafe, 16 W. Main Street in Lockport, be sure to try some of their cupcakes to see if they taste as good as they look but, also make sure you mention what a great photo is featured on their flyer at the counter. I did.

Meet Laura of Neat Repeats Consignment Shop in Middleport

Neat Repeats Consignment Shop, Middleport NYLaura has just taken over the consignment shop at 149 Telegraph Road in Middleport called Neat Repeats and she would love to show you what she has planned.

The shop hours, beginning on June 20, 2011, are Mondays through Saturdays from 11:30 AM to 5:30 PM.

I visited this weekend and this is a photo of my purchase – a brand new ladies Notations top that had never been worn – with the tags on! Laura, the new owner, told me that a large number of ladies items sized Large and Extra Large have just come in and this adorable, comfortable and fashionable top was one of them. I snatched it up without even trying it on. And yes, when I got home, it did fit and looks great.

I also learned that the Dollar Room is quite a hit, especially now that summer has arrived and the kids need play clothes. The room is packed full of new or gently used items that are all ONLY $1.

There are a ton of jeans and great brand names tops for the teens too – a almost got a hoodie for my son but realized that he already has about three too many – but it was in great shape and was Abercrombie and Fitch. Very tempting.

Laura told me that she also takes donations of clothing if you are cleaning things out and would just like it gone. Items must be clean, gently used, pet hair and odor free. Give Laura a call to learn more at (716) 735-7417.
