Fun Food Friday - Drink edition!

***One note on previous entry. I have never cried in front of my managers. If I do that, it's at home. Just sayin'.***

Alrighty - on to the fun stuff! Originally I was going to talk about a food, but I was inspired tonight by something that made me very happy instead. (sorry Heather!) It's actually been cold here; near freezing even! I know that's hard to believe, but would I lie? I even had very realistic dreams the other night that it had snowed. Because of that, I've been downing tea and warm comfort foods. My recent stress also causes a lot of that activity. ;-)

Tonight, I had an intense craving for chocolate. Put those things together, and you come up with the idea for a nice, creamy, soothing cup of hot cocoa! I grabbed my Ghirardelli Unsweetened Cocoa, mixed in some sugar, warmed up my milk, and aaaaaaaaahh ambrosia!

This is my favorite cocoa. First of all, I have never been disappointed by the quality of Ghirardelli chocolate. It's a particular favorite of both the Hub's and mine. Secondly, the unsweetened stuff is puuuuuuuure cocoa; no added flavors, no added preservatives. And the closer I get to unadalterated chocolate, the closer I get to unadalterated bliss.* Lastly, you mix it with milk, and you add the amount of sugar you want. The instructions suggest 1 cup of milk, 1.5 TBSP of cocoa and 1.5 TBSP of sugar. Even before my sugar issues, I found that to be too sweet. So I add 1.5 TBSP of cocoa and 3/4 TBSP of sugar. It tastes fabulous, I don't get as much sugar in my system, and I get my chocolate high! You gotta love that something so tongue pleasing has flavanoids and body benefits.

Feel free to join in with your own FFF!


*I told you I was a true choc-aholic.
