Since it's snowing, I've started making hot cocoa, hot cider, and mulled wine in the main kitchen. If you're interested, please come down to get some. The porch off the kitchen's wonderful to watch the snow coming down.

Hot cocoa. With the little marshmallows?

[xp_banshee]

Might have to make a run to the store for those, since I wasn't as prepared for the weather to shift as I should have been.

[xp_wildchild]

There's a bag of organic ones in my pantry behind the beans

[xp_banshee]

Brilliant. I'm stealing them without a bit of guilt.

[xp_wildchild]

They're for this specific purpose just do me a fav and add them back to that grocery app thing I have

[xp_banshee]

Will do, love.

[xp_wildchild]

Back in like 30 min - did a tutoring stint but obvs ended early and just waiting for the last kid to get picked up by his abuelo

[xp_banshee]

Looking forward to seeing you early. Hope the sprogs behaved despite the snow?

[xp_banshee]

If you're feeling experimental, I've found a recipe for hot cocoa using roasted carob powder. Since I've a tin of that, maybe we could see if it's any good.

[xp_wildchild]

ROASTED CRAB POWDER?

[xp_banshee]

CAROB.

As in not chocolate, that thing you're allergic to.

[xp_wildchild]

oh CAROB

sorry phone was reading me texts out loud

[xp_banshee]

We've had more than enough crab for at least the next three years.

[xp_bevatron]

This, yes. And I rather enjoy seafood, normally.

(also merci for the hot drinks)

[xp_darcy]

Excellent, push all those cookies I've been baking off on other people.

[xp_banshee]

Yes, all of them. Tempted to make some peppermint bark, myself, but I'll stick to hot drinks for now.

[xp_darcy]

I don't think there's any peppermint bark but there's DEFINITELY a chocolate cookie base with those mini peppermint white chocolate chips in one of the tins. Green snowflakes, maybe? I don't remember everything I made, honestly, but I made a note about feeding Gaston in my phone, so at least a few dozen eggs' worth.

[xp_banshee]

You're a delight, Darcy Lewis, and you'd better intend to come get some of this wine. I shouldn't have man the kitchen all by my lonesome until Kyle gets back.

[xp_darcy]

After work I will definitely have hot cocoa or carob and wine. And cookies.

[xp_blackwidow]

Oh, hot cocoa's my favorite but I may need to try one of each still.

[xp_banshee]

You're welcome to any and all of them.

[xp_topaz]

Don't suppose I can get someone to deliver some hot cocoa in exchange for I'll owe you a favor later?

(It's too cold, I just got my suite to the right temperature, I don't want to leave)

[xp_banshee]

Aye, no worries. I'll run some over to you shortly.
