It looks miserable out and I'm kind of bored right now. So I'm gonna share a hot chocolate recipe that my grandmother used to make for me on days like this. And I mean it when I say hot. It has some spice to it. This isn't my absolute favorite version of hot chocolate, just one of the ones I like the most.

Four cups milk
2 fresh red chilies
1 cup dark chocolate
2 cinnamon sticks
2 teaspoons honey
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 vanilla pod, or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract


Wash the chilies and make a few cuts on them. Just a few small ones. Nothing too big.

Place the chilies in a pan with the milk and the other spices and on low until steaming slightly. Stir it while you do so, otherwise the milk will burn. Melt the chocolate however you prefer. Once melted, add the chocolate and the honey to the warm milk, and heat gently for 10 minutes until the hot chocolate thickens. Share. Don't share. Whatever. Just enjoy it. It's the perfect weather for it.

[Yep. She is just that bored in the hospital.]

[ooc: charlie was bitten by a zombie the other day. and then today she remembered Irv and Norma, people she traded memories of to get a dragon for her husband. if your character is at or can get to the hospital, go bother her. if not, bother her here. also try that chocolate recipe. it's so good.]

I think I'll try that, but leavin' out the chilies. Not my thing.

How are you holding up in this?

[Sure. She'll show her face to Setsuna. It's pale, tired looking and her hair's starting to fall out of the ponytail holder. But she did just wake up from a damn long nap. It's easier to sleep now that memories of Irv and Norma have returned.]

You could always try caramel and a tiny bit of salt. That's pretty awesome, too.

[She shrugs.]

It's been a very rough couple of weeks. I had to trick my dad into the stadium and then was bitten by the man responsible for his death back home.

I might try it that way, then. [A frown at her condition.]

Ah, damn. Charlie, you should've asked for help. Guess you're not at home, then?

Re: video;

[charring]

I couldn't really think straight. That was one hell of a fever, even for me. But thank you, Setsuna. It makes me happy to know I have you in my life.

Nah. Hospital. Room *blahnumbersblah*. I go home tomorrow, weather permitting.

I'll leave them for you, but I'm not having them in mine.

You got it, girl! [ He grins, giving you the rock on sign. ] The spicier the better.

I don't do much cooking, but I suppose I could be persuaded to try that recipe out.

Re: Voice

[charring]

I might try to bring it to the Dragon. I can teach you how to make it before then.

Re: Voice

[rianofski]

It sounds delicious. I wonder if adding alcohol to it might improve it even further.

Re: Voice

[charring]

A very mild vanilla flavored liquor. I know his from experience.

It is. It's one of my favorites. And you're welcome.

I'll make some and bring it to you. I'm pretty sure I can get out of the house.

Re: [Text]

[charring]

Really? You'd do that?

[WAIT THAT SOUNDS WRONG!]

You always manage to surprise me.

[Was that a nice save or a fail?]

[destinedtobeunpopular]

I can see that.

[ Don't worry, Charlie, he's just amused. ]

Re: [Text]

[charring]

You don't have to bring hot chocolate. I just want to see you.

[coyote_walking]

Sounds delicious. Spicy hot chocolate is my very favorite thing.

[charring]

It's delicious. It's also good with a tiny splash of vanilla liquor. My absolute favorite hot chocolate, though, is salted caramel.

[coyote_walking]

Alcohol in my hot chocolate? Might be a special occasion sort of thing to try.

Not a big caramel fan, unfortunately, but the spicy I love. I usually use a mix, but this sounds like something I might try to make.
