You Had Me At Marshmallow

Today's forecast for the Boston area calls for close to two feet of snow. Thank goodness yesterday was National Hot Chocolate Day.

I was in the car this weekend, listening to the radio, when I heard news of this delicious holiday. Apparently hot chocolate is the preferred beverage for the winter season (made with milk not water, and don't scrip on the marshmallows).

The trivia lesson also went on to point out that 39 degrees is considered to be the ideal winter temperature. And finally, that children like winter more than adults. No surprise there. 

Never mind the rest, they had me at marshmallows......

"The superiority of hot chocolate, both for health and nourishment, will soon give it the same preference over tea and coffee in America which it has in Spain." – Thomas Jefferson
