“Chocolate es un asunto muy serio“
I love the Startrek food scenes, and with the consellera Troy are almost everytime chocolate about.
I like chocolate, but not anyone, my favourite one is the white chocolate...

-18 here in Kansas, what a delight. 😑🥶 We haven't been part of rolling blackouts yet but our city did have some yesterday. The threat of power loss finally forced the university I work for to close for today, they never close for anything!

marleed I‘m in Prairie Village and woke up grateful that I slept thru our turn at the roll power outage. I‘ve been staring at my steep snow-packed driveway way for nearly 48 hours not want to venture out in those sub-zero wind chills. Then I heard scraping! The guy that mows my lawn was shoveling. Well worth 40 bucks today! 4y

So it may not be a STRICTLY #holidayrecipe but I made some hot chocolate tonight which 1) I only crave around Christmas and 2) is that first thing I‘ve made from scratch in at least a week, so I‘m counting it for #wintergames !!

Jennick2004 Yum! My kids are getting some hot cocoa goodies for St Nick tomorrow! 4y

Ok y‘all I‘ve been posting some emotional stuff after reading Still Alice. So here‘s a hot chocolate break. Even though the fam all had dinner together we all gathered round for hot chocolate again this evening and it was nice to spend more time together with the people I love so much. I strongly recommend family time as often as possible. No really, that book leaves one a bit needy.

My query: what book can possibly follow Still Alice?

TEArificbooks None, that book left me wrecked. I think I picked a funny book to get me out of my book hang over. 5y
ju.ca.no I read that book so many years ago and it is still very present. What a read😨 family time is very important, especially after reading it🙈 5y
julesG I have not read the book and, quite frankly, do not intend to read it. Alzheimer's is pretty close to MS related dementia, which freaks me out. BUT family time really is very important and I love your elk mugs! 😁 5y

Cinfhen I remember right after this book our next bookclub pick was this one👉🏾which was lighter but still literary 5y
Crazeedi I read 2 other books by her, Inside the Obriens and Every Note Played, both recommend. But as I told you this book was personal to me 💔 5y
Emilymdxn I‘ve loved all your posts about it even though they‘ve been quite intense 💖 5y
BethM Moose and hot cocoa- I love it! 5y
Tamra I recommend the movie. 😢 5y

GarthRanzz I love genealogy! I have periods where I get obsessed with research then let it go for a few months. 7y
IheartYA @GarthRanzz I'm like that too but with weeks. I can sit at the computer and tell myself just 10 minutes to research but still be there 3 hours later. LOL. I have DNA tested at ancestry and 23andme, and downloaded my raw DNA data to gedmatch, myheritage and familytreedna in hopes of more matches. 7y
GarthRanzz I haven‘t tried the DNA testing yet. Do you get good matches from that? (edited) 7y
See All 9 Comments
IheartYA @GarthRanzz Ancestry has a bigger database of users so you'd have more matches there. The "hints" found by matching DNA and others' trees is an excellent feautre. 23andme gives a more specific ethnicity breakdown but does not have a family tree component. 7y
GarthRanzz I‘m still trying to figure out my birth father and with no family left alive to ask I have wondered if that would be a could way to go. Something I‘m seriously considering. Thanks for the info! 7y
TheDaysGoBy I love hot chocolate too. Lately my thing has been to have it with whipped cream and cinnamon. So good 7y
IheartYA @TheDaysGoBy I found marshmallow stirring sticks at target. They were cute but melted too quickly. If I can find them again, I will send you some. 😊 I use too much whipped cream lol 7y
IheartYA @GarthRanzz AncestryDNA would definitely be the way to go, then download data to gedmatch because it's a pooled database from users across other sites. There is a fee to search ancestry's records. A lot of recent records aren't released due to privacy laws. For instance, the US census is protected for 72 years so the last year published is 1940. If you would like any help, feel free to email or Facebook me Justimberchic@aol.com. 7y
kamoorephoto I love that you do that research! My son wants me to do it... 7y

@Lucas.Rencher and I occasionally do things other than read (key word: occasionally). If you freeze the left over whipped cream from the recipe I posted last night, it makes bomb hot chocolate. Just saying. 🤓😋

#NotBookRelated

Lucas.Rencher And if you're like me you can add some bailey's to your hot chocolate! 😀 7y
Cinfhen 🙌🏻 7y
julesG @Lucas.Rencher What do you mean "if you're like me"? It's not hot chocolate without Bailey's. ? 7y

You guys, matcha hot chocolate. It's a thing and it's everything. Judge me for being basic if you want, matcha is freaking delicious. This is definitely going in my #secretsantagoespostal box! Now if I could only choose the books...my match has the perfect combo of books I love and books I've been dying to read on her TBR. Trying to decide which ones to go with has been so difficult!

Cinfhen Is that a heart shaped marshmallow?!? Because THAT is awesome 💝💝💝💝💝 7y
Clwojick Basic. 😂😂😂 also, I would definitely try it. 💕 7y
everlocalwest @Cinfhen Not quite, just a giant melting marshmallow...still awesome! 😸 @Clwojick 💙💙 7y

@JoeStalksBeck I got the hot chocolate in my Eeyore mug and was ready to settle down with my book. Then my hubby put Furious 7 on. I'm a total sucker for not only the Fast & Furious movies but anything Paul Walker was in. So much for reading. #paul #gonetoosoon
