Book excerpt: Housewives are finally getting their due. They are the focus of talk shows, sitcoms, dramas, internet sites, magazine articles, and the like; many of which seek to draw on the temptations (and fantasies) of being at home alone during the day waiting for the handsome, hulking plumber to ring the doorbell. But as we all know, the real temptation for desperate housewives everywhere is chocolate. In this wonderful gift book Chocolate Satisfaction for desperate housewives, readers can partake in all the fantasies chocolate imparts without the calories. And just to keep you in check, juxtaposing each mouthwatering image is a tantalizing quote about temptation.
