February Survival List


I'm so sad.
I'm so sad because lots of you don't like winter and I'm feeling a little guilty, tucked away in my lovely warm house, reveling in the joys of getting a whole sky full of snow dumped on me and my prairie.

So here are the results of guilt, I hope they help to make February just a little bit more doable and lovable.

Hot Chocolate Recipe

So when I'm caught in the middle of a wintery day and all the hot chocolate is gone, there's a little something I like to do that makes it all better. I cheat.

Hershey's Cocoa
Milk
Vanilla Extract
Sugar

Pick out your favorite mug, fill it with milk.
Pour the milk into a pan on the stove and heat until vapors begin to rise. 
Note: it would be a bad idea to leave the heating milk at ANY time.
Dump in two heaping tablespoons of cocoa
A teaspoon Vanilla Extract 
And as much sugar as you want.
If you have marshmallows, that's even better! Voila. Homemade hot chocolate in a mug!


Valentine's Day Goodies
Just chocolate, please-thank-you. It may come in any and all forms, flavors, shapes and sizes. But we like the dark chocolate with mint the best.
