For those of us in Chicagoland who thought a Vernal Equinox was enough to bring on the Spring, I offer consolation along with today's (and Friday's and Saturday's) forecast for snow flurries: One last chance to cuddle up with a mug of hot chocolate before we bid this whole blustery mess good-bye.
If you've never tried Mexican Hot Chocolate I recommend Ibarra, which is easy to find in most grocery stories along the "ethnic" aisle. Cheap too: usually not more than $2.50 or so for a box that'll keep you going all season long. It comes in lovely chunks that are ready to go: Chocolate blended with sugar, cinnamon and ground almonds.
Just scald some milk, drop in a few chunks of chocolate, pull out the hand blender and whip it up to frothy goodness. Then find a comfy spot from which to sip contentedly while you curse the endless winter.
