A few years ago Bear’s cousin Sunny gave us a matching set of cocoa mugs – T for me and J for Jared – and it was one of my favorite gifts ever. So of course they died in the great table crash of ’07. Rest in peace sweet little mugs.
I am quite the hot cocoa connoisseur. I prefer homemade whenever I take the trouble, but ordinarily I’m not that picky as long as it’s rich and creamy. I also love the flavored cocoas. A little shot of raspberry syrup is just the very best thing. Or peppermint if I need a quick shot of Christmas cheer.
This, a good book, and a cat on my lap are really about all I need to get me through the roughest of days.
