6° Friday morning, with a high of 16° here in the Middle TN! MIDDLE FRIGGIN TN! There are several reasons I live where I do, and getting that cold ain't one of them! Geez.

Windchill here Saturday is supposed to be -13 wtf? Snow Thursday. Coldest Christmas in 40 years
Lol last Christmas was 78° but we also were having massive tornadoes in Tennessee and Kentucky........I'll take the cold I guess
And the Christmas before that was when that dude set off that bomb, and himself in downtown Nashville. Bombs, tornadoes, and frostbite. Phew!

I was living in Bell Buckle during that Xmas 40 years ago. We lost power, and water for 2 weeks. Man that was cold!

FIL worked in a dairy plant and told me it's well known in the industry that chocolate milk is made with milk beginning to spoil. They pasteurize it again so it's safe but that sour note remains. The interplay of this sour note and chocolate is sorta magic. Guinness stout does the same thing. Hershey's is DISTINCTLY sour.

Wonder if their cocoa powder has that note in it? I don't think it can. If I were dead set on making the best Hershey's hot cocoa I'd try some buttermilk to get that note.
Wife made some hot cocoa for youngest this weekend and took a hit. Was stellar and on par with good scratch or from a good joint. It was Starbucks double chocolate.
Well, chocolate is a fermented food so it probably has a slight sour note to it anyhow......

Drinking a lot of the Abuelita right now, along with hot tea. (I'm not a coffee guy.)
Currently, it's 28° out. Weather bozos said we'd get about 1" of snow on Sunday and Monday, then it would melt off. Well, it's Tuesday now, and I have about 5" outside, and it's still coming down.

Give this recipe a try. It comes from Glenn Beck. Try to top it some marshmallows from Williams Sonoma.
Glenn’s Coma Hot Chocolate
5 pints of LIGHT CREAM or 1/2 & 1/2.
12 Hershey candy bars.
Slowly heat cream on stove, break candy bars in small pieces and slowly add to warm cream. Stir until melted candy is fully mixed.
Serve ASAP and try not to go into a coma.
WARNING: DO NOT EAT WITH TURKEY OR YOU MAY NEVER WAKE UP

When I was a kid usually had marshmallows and not the candy cane. However as an adult I have been known from time to time to add some peppermint Schnapps.
This one is from the Frugal Gourmet Cookbook. It's good, but you'll probably need a note from your cardiologist if you want to drink it more than once or twice a month.
