Cocoa Remix

I noticed a photo of Lavender Hot Cocoa on Andrew (of www.andrewandcarissa.com) Gallo's Twitter feed yesterday.  I had to make it my own.  What followed was Salty Caramel Hot Cocoa w/ Marshmallow Fluff & Crushed Lavender Buds served in our favorite mugs.  It was delicious, rich, thick and fragrant.  So rich in fact, it required washing down with an equally fragrant IPA.

Lavender Cocoa:  Perfect drink for a night that was 20° and snowing after a day in the high fifties with mixture of rain and sun.  Ohio can't make up its mind if it's participating in winter this year.  Oh well.


The new Wes Anderson Trailer looks amazing on the other hand.  Any one else seen it?

Jingle All the Way

Christmas came and went faster than the fat man in the red suit can fly from eave to eave.  Now there are 11 sad months until we can once again revel in Yule Joy.  But we are left with the experiences we had with friend and family to keep us warm through the bitter cold months to come.

Winter is yet to truly settle upon Central Ohio but there have been flurries threatening, as well as a nip to the air.  It is time to bring out the space heater and our arsenal of quilts, afghans and throws.
