Having Hot Chocolate? Spice it Up!

Hope you are having a fantastic weekend. We have had a little rain today in our part of the country which we very much needed. It has made for a very pleasant, cool evening, however, which is great.

Did you see the new Willie Wonka movie yet? If you did, let me know what you thought of it. My sons thought it was good, just "very different from the the old classic."

A couple days ago, I gave you an old recipe, the Breakfast Chocolate Drink. Well, to continue the story of chocolate, when the cocoa beans were brought back to Spain, the Spaniards made their own special chocolate drink which became very popular with the wealthy who enjoyed it with their breakfast. They added spices to it, much like chai tea. They would add such spices as nutmeg, clove, cinnamon, allspice, and vanilla.

So the next time you're stressed and need to take a break, make yourself some hot chocolate and indulge a little: Spice it up for an extra treat. Sounds delicious, doesn't it?

Have a lovely day tomorrow. Till next time, be happy.
