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!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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.

I always make hot cocoa with milk. Granted, I also use the powdered stuff, and mix in a couple of generous shakes of cinnamon, but I think it's nom!
I take a packet of sugar-free hot cocoa mix, break up a square of Ghirardelli 100% cocoa solids baking chocolate into it, pour almost-boiling water over it, stir like the dickens, and if available add a splash of cream. Or brandy. Or whiskey. Depending on whether it is before work or after.

Kat, that photo of Grace is adorable. Seriously making me smile.
