Since the weather
outside is frightful, I thought I’d share with you a delightful hot cocoa
recipe. I’ve used this recipe for years and stole it from Allrecipes.com Remember, you can spike it with a bit
of Irish Crème or Kahlua for a more grown up beverage.
Original recipe makes
4 servings.
1/3 cup unsweetened
cocoa powder
3/4 cup white
sugar
1 pinch salt
1/3 cup boiling
water
3 1/2
cups milk
3/4
teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup half-and-half
cream
Combine
the cocoa, sugar and pinch of salt in a saucepan. Blend in the boiling water.
Bring this mixture to an easy boil while you stir. Simmer and stir for about 2
minutes. Watch that it doesn't scorch. Stir in 3 1/2 cups of milk and heat
until very hot, but do not boil! Remove from heat and add vanilla. Divide
between 4 mugs. Add the cream to the mugs of cocoa to cool it to drinking
temperature.
Blurb:
Kat goes on the prowl
looking for a one night stand to rile up her new friends. A little shock and
awe to keep her sane in a life no longer hers. When she’s matched with Jared
through 1Night Stand, he seems perfect for her plans. Conservative, sweet, and
sexy as sin, she’s ready for one hell of a ride.
But Jared is more than she bargained for—much more. And when her plans for
amusement turn dangerous will the two find a way to stay alive?
~Excerpt~
“Come on.” She
winked. “You don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do.”
“I thought these
things were urban legend. I never imagined I’d see one in real life.”
His date’s gaze
glimmered with mischief. “There are lots of big hairy surprises out there for
those brave enough to search for them.”
“Like you, for one.”
He cleared his throat. “Except for the hairy part. I hope, anyway.”
A slight blush colored her cheeks, and he
brushed his knuckles over the soft skin there. Shadows marred the smoothness
beneath her eyes. Had she been sick? Or maybe her party girl lifestyle drew out
too much. She stepped back.
“Cowboy up, sugar.” She grasped his hand and
pulled him forward, again surprising him with her power. Under the softness of
her curves lay a fair amount of muscle. He swallowed. She could ride him
without tiring, take his maddened pounding for hours. It’d take all night to
spend the pent up energy boiling in his veins. He’d passed the point of return;
jerking off wouldn’t satiate his needs. Without sex, and soon, he’d run howling
through the streets, a crazed animal.
After taking an elevator to the basement level
of the parking garage, she led him to a red door and rapped on its freshly
painted surface. Dark corners closed in on them. The hairs on his arms and neck
rose. He sensed being watched. More cameras. Were as many inside? And maybe a
live Internet feed his family could run across in some improbable way?
Don’t create imaginary monsters. He squared
his shoulders.
A partition slid open. Dark eyes narrowed,
focusing on Kat who lifted a pale brow. The panel slammed closed, and Jared let
a small sigh slip. Could he be off the hook? This night had turned out to be
more than he’d bargained for, leaving him ready to tuck tail and run. Find
somewhere else to indulge his feral wants with his date. The door swung open,
and the odor of incense assaulted him. His escape option evaporated.
