I think the brown spots might be chocolate syrup but just a guess since I've never seen chocoate syrup stains before.

Too many dark chocolate covered espresso beans late at night.  

The place has always been rented as a small studio really only designed for one person but will work in a pinch for a couple.

I became the Peanut Butter mixed with Chocolate Advertisement. 

I get the most compliments on that.I also give a box of good quality chocolates around the holidays with a thank-you card for being a great tenant. 

I'm an investor and a General Contractor and I have found being handy is most useful in both knowing how to do something the right way or, in a pinch, being able to jump in and do it yourself. 

But I'll take a tall white hot chocolate or hot apple cider from Starbucks almost anyday!!

Risking your house to buy investment real estate could leave you in a pinch and having to make difficult decisions about your finances later.2.  

If you were in California you might feel the pinch more severely than how we have it so good, here in Tampa...but, I would not want to start a new project at this time with prices at the top.

My weakness is chocolate decadent desserts (ummmhhh).
