...really!

Hot chocolate

Wednesday, 10. December 2008, 13:56:25

,

I'm having the day off today and can't really say I've done anything productive... :D

Anyway, it's freezing outside, and I mean that literally. It's below zero degrees so apart from a quick trip to the shop, I've been cuddling up indoors.

Those of you who think that can't be done in an stylish manner - think again.

Thanks to this fantastic martini mug, I am now enjoying a drink of hot cocoa feeling elegant even though my hair is a mess and my clothes should really have been in the laundry basket :happy:.

And best of all - it's so easy to make :yes:

Recipe:
One cup of milk
One dash of chocolate powder

Modus operandi:
Mix and heat milk and chocolate while stirring

Oh, and notice how the marshmellow looks like an olive? :love:

I took the day off, actually two days, yesterday and today. I felt like I needed a rest because all the tiredness I "earned" in Japan seems that finally cought me. I spent whole day yesterday in sleeping, eating and sleeping again. I feel much better today :happy:

:sst: your clothes are dying like Mik`s shoes? :eyes:

rose-marie 10. December 2008, 14:20

Sounds like you really needed to rest. Good that you could take a couple of days off :up:.
I'm only working for two more days, then I have a vacation until January 5th :happy:.

My clothes aren't dying! They are just about to be rejuvenated p:.

Moesring 10. December 2008, 14:34

:cool: drink. :up:

Do you think Minstrels powder would work instead? :happy:

gdare 10. December 2008, 14:35

:D

rose-marie 10. December 2008, 14:39

No Moe, it's a :cool: mug :D.
I'm pretty sure Minstrels powder would work too. I wish I could try it... :whistle: p:

Spaggyj 10. December 2008, 14:40

Ha, I love the marshmallow on the toothpick :lol: . Hey, we were listening to your song earlier :D

rose-marie 10. December 2008, 14:44

I know - doesn't it fit perfectly with the mug? :love:
It tasted good too :wink:.

:eek: You were listening to the song? :left:

Moesring 10. December 2008, 14:48

I was listening to your song a few days ago, too. :up:
:sst: Well, I was actually showing it to other people. :happy:

I subsequently wondered about making a post containing a copy of it for the benefit of those that didn't get to hear it. :yes:

gdare 10. December 2008, 14:59

I didn`t :left:

wickedlizard 10. December 2008, 15:01

yummy... and is the fire going? :D

Spaggyj 10. December 2008, 15:13

Was that your first marshmallow? I seem to remember you saying you'd never had one a few months ago?
And yeah, we love your song!

Furie 10. December 2008, 15:20

You're on my Wake Up playlist, Rose. Course we were listening to it. Glad ya like ya prize. :coffee:

Zaphira 10. December 2008, 15:29

What song is it that everybody is talking about? :confused:

The cocoa mug is awesome - cocoa with style - I like it! :yes:

Furie 10. December 2008, 16:14

You don't know?! :eek:

qlue 10. December 2008, 16:48

Due to the limitations of my crappy phone, I had to delete it a while back. awww.
The kitty hasn't even heard about, "Mr Bore"?
What kind of a world conquering dictator are you? :eyes:

rose-marie 10. December 2008, 17:14

Moe - Showing it to other people :eyes:? It's a nice thought, but I'd appreciate it if you didn't post it :smile:.

Darko - You didn't miss anything p:.

Issy - I used to have an open fireplace in my old flat. I miss it awww.

Kimmie - I've had marshmallows as a kid, but I can't remember the last time. It was real good with the cocoa, though :up:.
And thanks :o:.

Mik - In a strange way, I feel honoured :D.

Zap - I like it too. And, to make it more drink-ish I can add some rum :D.

Aadil - I think she has. The conquering just takes so much time and one can only think of so many things at once p:.


Furie 10. December 2008, 18:12

You gotta send me some more sometime. :up:

Moesring 10. December 2008, 18:18

: only hears the words "post it" :happy::

Zaphira 10. December 2008, 18:50

What about the question about the song....? awww

Dacotah 10. December 2008, 19:22

:cool:
:love: your design Rose-Marie.

rose-marie 10. December 2008, 19:39

Mik - or maybe not... p:

*cleans out Moes ears with a supersonic blast adding the word "don't" first* There... :D

Zap - It's a song I posted here a while ago :wink:.

Carol - Thank you :D.
And thanks again! It's a picture of a christmas market in Oslo I went to the other day :up:.

Zaphira 10. December 2008, 19:40

*feeling left out* awww

rose-marie 10. December 2008, 19:49

You posted a comment in that particular post... :left:

Zaphira 10. December 2008, 20:51

Before or after the song? :left:

rose-marie 10. December 2008, 21:13

After I think...

I think she is subtly asking me to upload a copy of the song to remind her :wink:

Cois 10. December 2008, 21:44

I would love some hot choc if my innards weren't already melting due to heat.. :chef:

gdare 10. December 2008, 22:11

:sst: yes Moe, do it, I haven`t heard it too

Dacotah 10. December 2008, 22:21

You are welcome Rose-Marie.
What song?

Furie 11. December 2008, 00:18

I swear most of the people asking about the song commented on that post. The only explanation is...

...POD PEOPLE! :yikes:

Furie 11. December 2008, 00:21

Come on Rosie. I've got you mixed in with miscellaneous Offspring, Black Sabbath, Dragonforce, Steve Miller Band, Motorhead etc. Your fan demands an album. :headbang:

theoddbod 11. December 2008, 01:21

That thing looks big :eyes:

Dacotah 11. December 2008, 02:51

:sst: The text color on your banner is hard to see, it blends in.

rose-marie 11. December 2008, 09:46

Moe - No! :mad: If anybody wants to hear it, they can ask me for a copy :wink:.

Cois - But this cup is so cool, you can drink anything from it and it still looks good :yes:.

Darko - See answer to Moe p:.

Carol - A month or so ago, I posted a song (which I have co-written) here on my blog. The post was only up for a day before it went private. Perhaps you missed it :smile:.
I haven't gotten around to finding the right colour for the text on my colour yet. You'll just have to tilt your screen until I'm done :lol: p:.

Mik - :eek: Pod people? I don't know what that is :worried:.
An album is not gonna happen p:.

Mart - You should see the box it came in! :lol:
It's really not that big - it's perfect for a drink :D.

Furie 11. December 2008, 09:57

Pod People :left: They've come for your forehead! :cry:

Zaphira 11. December 2008, 10:10

If anybody wants to hear it, they can ask me for a copy :wink:



Doesn't anybody take hints anymore? :left:

Okay then....

Ahem...

Can I have a copy pleeeeeeeeease? :love:

Furie 11. December 2008, 10:13

*hits the cat on the head with a rolled up newspaper*
No begging at the dinner table. :mad:

Zaphira 11. December 2008, 10:20

Ouch!! :bomb:


No hitting the cute kittens! :mad:


Is dinner ready? :left:

Dacotah 11. December 2008, 10:37

Darn, I missed the song post. :frown:
Ok, I will p: :D

Cois 11. December 2008, 11:26

I want a beermug but it has to be proportional to THAT martini/hot chocolate glass :D..
Cute kitten? :chef:

gdare 11. December 2008, 12:08

I want to haz one too, Rose, please :D

Furie 11. December 2008, 12:23

Clint, there was a beer tankard version right next to it. Win one of Kim's competitions and it's yours. :up:.

I didn't hit the cute kitten. I hit you, Zaph. And yeah, dinner's ready. There's a fish head in your bowl. :D

Cois 11. December 2008, 12:28

Taaaaankard.. *drools*

Zaphira 11. December 2008, 13:09

Can I have a troll's head instead? :devil:

Dacotah 11. December 2008, 14:35

May I also have a copy of the song, PRETTY PLEASE?

rose-marie 11. December 2008, 21:22

:lol: You crazy lot!

Zap, Carol, Darko - I'll PM you later :wink:.

Cois - I think you'd want a tankart slightly larger p:.

*throws troll head at pod people* Steeeeeriiike! :hat:

theoddbod 11. December 2008, 21:30

Strike? Come on, you missed the squishy-looking guy on the left, and the shifty-looking one on the right :rolleyes:

Dacotah 11. December 2008, 21:41

:happy:

rose-marie 11. December 2008, 21:49

*hurls the head on Mart* There... Now who's the other one? p:
