*** A WORD FROM THE KITCHEN ***
Halloween is finally on a weekend we'll have more time
to do fun stuff with the kids...now if only the weather
will be nice for them. This is a great time to try some
new cold weather drinks like hot ciders and homemade
hot cocoas. I've included a flavorful HOMEMADE VANILLA
COCOA version below and you can try substitute cinnamon
too. I know of people who add other things like peppermint
schnapps too but I like to enjoy it with the kiddies.
Another great thing to try with apple cider being so
plentiful right now is a super quick fix. Just microwave
in a mug with a cinnamon stick for a few minutes and you've
got yourself a treat. Kids love this too and can use the
cinnamon stick as a straw.... just don't let them eat it.
Enjoy! Marzee

RECIPE: HOMEMADE HOT VANILLA COCOA
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*=
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
INGREDIENTS:
1 quart milk
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup cocoa
1/4 teaspoon vanilla (or 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon)
whipped cream for topping
DIRECTIONS:
In saucepan, combine sugar and cocoa. Add a few tablespoons of
milk and heat over medium high heat, stirring constantly. The
heat will make it easier to dissolve the cocoa. When the sugar,
cocoa and milk have formed a paste, add the remainder of the
milk plus the vanilla or cinnamon and heat until steaming.
Pour into mugs, top with a bit of whipped cream and serve
immediately.
Yield: 4 servings

CHOCOLATE TIPS:
* Use a potato or vegetable parer to make chocolate
curls for decorating cakes and pies. You can use bars
of semi-sweet or bitter chocolate. The chocolate should
be at room temperature or even very slightly warmer.
You can adjust the thickness and length of the curls by
the pressure of your strokes.
* To melt chocolate, chop fairly fine. Place in a
microwave-safe bowl and microwave, uncovered, at 100
percent power, stirring every 10 seconds.
*Use self-sealing plastic bags to melt butter or
chocolate in the microwave.
