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 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?

I know how that is. Still....

Your New Year's Resolution should've been, "Stay out of hospitals!" Might not get a chance to visit you while you're there, but I might stop by at your place.

[He has to smile back, relieved she laughed. That's the Charlie he knows.]

Sure. New Year's got trashed anyway.

So, Charlie's New Year starts today. And Charlie's gonna stay out of hospitals. Deal?
