When I picked up Z from school today, she limped to the car with a ( twisted and swollen ankle. It was clear whether it hurt really badly or not, she was looking for a little extra love. She curled up with a sketchbook and requested hot cocoa, but “not like the last time because it was just too much.” maybe twisted)
That’s because last time I followed the recipe in Deceptively Delicious, which includes a special ingredient. ST and I actually love it and I would lick the pan if not for fear of burns. Apparently, however, she was onto my shenanigans. So, this time, I brought out the special reserve (gifted) chocolate – the Colombian Corona brand. No one needs a hot cocoa recipe, but if someone does … this is the easiest. One segment of the Corona plus two cups milk heated and stirred over medium heat plus plenty of marshmallows should do the trick.
Oh, and the milk in the picture is really too good. Z was really excited last week when we heard a story on NPR about our milk (well, the milk we buy). And we’re here to testify to the Dairy Evangelist’s claims. Z can tell the difference when we give her anything else.
