Hot chocolate

After some wonderful warm and sunny days it has become quite cold again in Northern California. Winter is definitely not over yet - after all, it's only the beginning of March. I am waiting for the rain to start, and rain is what we need here!

With these much cooler temperatures, it's time for some hot chocolate again!

Not just hot chocolate of course - with cream on top (and marshmallows for the Geek and Kaefer) and a little cocoa powder sprinkled over it.

We usually have our hot chocolate in the late afternoon, when everybody is at home. Some days we have it in the evening, sometime after dinner. However, it always has this cozy feeling about it.

I honestly can't think of anything with more comfort on a winter day than a mug of hot chocolate.

What about you? Do you like hot chocolate? And how do you drink it? With whipped cream, marshmallows, some spices, cinnamon? Please tell me.
