+ Let yourself sleep in until 9:30AM, since you strolled in the door at the tardy hour of 1AM after a very, very fun dinner party uptown (how d'ya like them apples, NYT?).
+ Shuffle into the kitchen, fire up the moka.
+ Spend an hour over coffee and a spicy brunch at your table poking around online.
+ Do a few hours of work (for a project you enjoy).
+ Bundle up for a leisurely hour-long walk uptown to a coffee shop to meet your team.
+ Enjoy a pot of hot chocolate...with a pinecone propped against a candle for a dash of holiday cheer.
hmmm this is very open ended... I'm now very curious about this "project" you enjoy. And what's the story behind your Belgian hot chocolate? Funny how I was thinking to do a recipe of belgian hot chocolate because it is quite different then your regular one. How did you get into it?
ReplyDeleteHa, I like how skeptical you are!
DeleteThe "project" is a side consulting project I'm working on on the weekends with a few friends/colleagues from my old company—has to do with the health/wellness industry, hence my enjoyment :).
The story behind the Belgian hot chocolate is that I didn't feel like having coffee and the little cafe we were meeting at had some special "unsweetened dark Belgian hot chocolate", so I ordered it. And it was delicious. I've always liked it because it's darker/bitter/thicker than regular watered-down, overly-sweet, runny hot chocolate. It was more like chocolate pudding. :)
Love picture caption!
