We're talking cold.

Unfortunately, I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon. So, I've been coming up with strategies to keep myself warm. One of these is the classic tactic of hot chocolate.

They call it Abuelita, which literally translates to "Little Grandma." You break the chocolate into pieces, mix it with hot milk, stick everything in the blender, and voila! Hot, steamy goodness!
I highly recommend it for anyone who enjoys chocolate...which I believe is every sane person on earth. Go make yourself a cup right now and watch the snow fall. Winter can do its worse, but it can't stop the power of Abuelita.
So here's to you Little Grandma. Thanks for making my life a little warmer this week.
