Like much of the northern hemisphere, we too find ourselves in the grips of a cold snap. Frosted windows, wooly hats, many cups of tea fill our days. I confess it is on days like these that I am grateful to work from my home office. :-)This week has seemed to go on forever, hasn't it? I suppose that's what we get in return for the shortened work schedules during the holidays. Which is why I am glad I have left my agenda for the weekend virtually open. I have a bit of paperwork and some correspondence to catch up on, but otherwise, the time has been left for the family to decide how we should best spend it. For one, I have a baby blanket to finish knitting, plus a recipe for vegetarian meatloaf that I have been meaning to try. And stacks of reading to keep me going through the winter of 2017. In this kind of weather, staying indoors seems like the sensible thing to do. Unless you're a child, of course. ;-)
Which is why hot chocolate is just the most wonderful January treat! We like to dress ours up with the usual whipped cream and cocoa powder---plus cinnamon for me and the tiniest sprinkle of cayenne for the husband. If you haven't tried spiced hot chocolate before, here is a recipe worth making this weekend, guaranteed to warm you up pronto.
Have a GREAT weekend, everyone!!!
