Steamy Hot Goodness

It's freeeeezing! (in case you didn't get the memo!) I woke up this morning to 19 degrees outside. Brrr! Last night I threw not one, but two extra blankets on the bed. It was so nice and toasty, I sure didn't want to get up when that evil alarm clock went off. I do not like to be cold. Cold just, well, hurts.

I have numerous blankets in my living room. I have a couch with two blankets, a love seat with one blanket and a single recliner with one blanket. We are not "blanket poor" at my house. No Sir-E, Bob!! We, with the exception of Michael, my youngest, are all coffee drinkers at my house too. Nothin' says, "Ah!" like a fresh hot cup o' Joe! We have a cup in the morning (ok, sometimes two), a cup in the afternoon and then a cup of decaf or "half-caff" in the evening.


But on days like today, where it's nearly noon and the temperature has only reached 31 degrees with a wind chill of "OH, it's cold!", I need more hot fluids to warm my innards! (is that a word?) I like to switch up and drink different hot liquids. I love me some good, rich, frothy dark hot chocolate. And I like hot tea too, but I really have to be in the mood. I'm not a big hot tea drinker. But, last month when I went to Kentucky for my nephew's wedding, I found a new favorite hot beverage. It's caffeine free and it tastes delicious! It really hits the spot on days like today. If you like hot cider, you should give it a try. You won't be sorry, I promise!
