I think I'm ready to get back into the swing of things......
I was wondering who will come and take down my tree? Anyone? (crickets chirping)
We took the week end and did nothing! Stayed up late and slept in, made pancakes for breakfast with some homemade hot chocolate. Monsters vs. Aliens was watched 150 times, pop corn was popped, and there was not much more than that.
Now it's back to school and routine.....let me just say, the kids are thrilled about that....not!
If it's cold where you are, try this.....
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3/4 cup white sugar
1 pinch salt
1/3 cup boiling water
3 1/2 cups milk
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup half-and-half cream
Directions
Combine the cocoa, sugar and pinch of salt in a saucepan. Blend in the boiling water. Bring this mixture to an easy boil while you stir. Simmer and stir for about 2 minutes. Watch that it doesn't scorch. Stir in 3 1/2 cups of milk and heat until very hot, but do not boil! Remove from heat and add vanilla. Divide between 4 mugs. Add the cream to the mugs of cocoa to cool it to drinking temperature.
Now let's get this new year officially started! :)
