I've had the Williams-Sonoma peppermint stuff. It's awfully good.
I don't like vampires. I'm gonna take a stand and say they're not good.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I haven't tried the xocolatl stuff, as peppers and I are unmixy things. The stirring jingle thingy sounds fun though. As you say, it might work with anything you stir! I do want to try the chai, though.
And this is what I get for paying insufficient attention what we use is actually this, the unsweetened version. We add turbinado or regular brown sugar sometimes, or a little white sugar. But this way we control the amount.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If I weren't short on milk (and don't think my stomach deserves cream right now), I'd be chugging cocoa right now. As is, I ordered some of the unsweetened Dagoba. I'd love to taste the spiced stuff, but I'm not sure enough of it to buy 8oz.
Hokay, orange Gatorade is way better than yellow.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
My neighbor made her own cocoa mix for me this Christmas. It was awesome, and she gave me the recipe, but I am too lazy to make it myself, so the pretty canister is sitting on my counter, empty and sad.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I'm pretty sure the fictional planet came before the chocolate.
Now I shall Google or go mad!

Tom Hardy, NSFW. He should do a movie with Ewan. And puppies.

Well, according to Wikipedia:
The name Dagoba is a Sinhalese corruption of dhatu-garbha, a Sanskrit word for stupa. (The similarly-named fictional Dagobah in the Star Wars universe was derived from the same inspiration.)

I want hot chocolate now! Desperately. You people are bad for the temptation-avoidance.
I'm in the process of two tasks I've been meaning to do, but keep neglecting. Including cleaning off the camera. Grace this week at the hospital.
I am also trying to put together gift bags for kids' birthday party. I actually made and personalized the gift bags (with each kid's initial) and I made the crayons (in car shape!) for the gift bag. But now, I feel like I don't have enough stuff for them. Bags and gifts.

Huh. I guess I'm married to shrift, because Dan had the exact same reaction. He's still pissed.

Because books.
Kay, do you want everything in the gift bag car-themed? Because at that age cheap bubbles, a little dollar-store notepad, and a bouncy ball would be cheap and help fill it. Oh, also crazy straws!
The car crayons are so cute.
