Will you treat yourself to A cup of Tea?

Or,

A mug of hot chocolate? before bed beckons?

My own blanket is already switched on, I must admit.

I made some hot chocolate yesterday.

I was reading some prior posts about instant coffee. I had some in the cabinet, and added a very small amount to the hot chocolate. It was a delightful addition. Since I don’t like it much on its own, this seems a good way to use it up.

I'm also not a fan of coffee on it's own. Adding hot chocolate or cream with a tad of monkfruit sweetener is a requirement for me.

A tea was never far from my hand whilst I was working. Off hot chocolate for a bit as I've put a couple of pounds on.

Treat yourself to hot chocolate while the cold spell (wind, gales, sleet, hailstones, possible snow) lasts.

Few things are nicer; these past few nights, I have had piping hot tea and chocolate biscuits - an occasional treat, but this week's weather has furnished the occasion.
 
Sighing with relief -- this afternoon was spent in preparing and electronically filing my 2021 tax returns and now that annual chore is out of the way. WHEW!!!

Hoisting a glass of Stella Artois, my favorite beer, in celebration....
 
man went to a new bbq place. this was 23.00 it was like ouch. that little cup of coleslaw. if you bought a sandwich or got French fries you got a bit serving of them. I bought their deviled eggs with Burnt tips and they were really good but 9.00 for two whole eggs and for pieces of meat. but they were slow serve me and gave them too me for free.
I can understand the beef as beef is really expensive but coleslaw is not expensive.

Today and partly to clear my head of obsession with international news, I was cleaning out a bureau drawer of rarely used clothing items. I ran into a T-shirt in good shape that was a promotional item in the late 80s from HBO. Summer Fun! was what it suggested.

Stared at that shirt for awhile and put it in the laundry. It's time to promote that idea again in 2022!
 
Phoned the French bakery to request them to put aside bread (campagne baguette and rye bread) for me tomorrow.

And I shall also pay a flying visit to the farmers' market to collect some meat (from the organic meat stall - they rear, slaughter and age everything themselves according to ethical and environmental principles); I have ordered pork belly, shin on the bone, and their excellent chicken thighs (skin and bone included).

So, stews and casseroles beckon; this is still the weather for them.

And possibly, just possibly, I might succumb to a fillet steak while there, as well.

Enjoy. It’s sunny today but freezing out there. It doesn’t feel much better in here though as I’m wfh today for a change. Mrs AFB keeps the heating off until the evening to try and combat the rising prices. But I’ve got so many layers on and fingerless gloves, it’s still not working for me. So I skipped my lunchtime walk. Didn’t want to get colder still.

Freezing and just bloody cold here, too.

Layers are one thing, but one needs heat (and hot drinks, too).

To be honest, I'd love to have some of that meat - to prepare a casserole today; the vegetable (and fruit) delivery won't be until later this evening.
 
What am I doing today?

Treating my feet by not walking anywhere!

The past week in Rome I clocked around 65 Kilometres.
Cobble street are hell on the feet. And *sigh* my walking boots were not quite street ready yet.
Still, bella figura takes priority over practicality! 🙂

Agree about the baleful effect of cobblestone streets/spaces on one's feet; exhausting and pure hell.

The tea never stops flowing if I’m home.

Hah I just made another cuppa tea for myself... we're in a dry slot weatherwise looking for the resumption of the lastest snowdump, to finish off our estimated total, supposedly to end up at 10 inches. I wonder though, since we'd had an inch short of that by 8am this morning, yet there are all these little snowflake symbols hour by hour again for this afternoon. I'm grateful I didn't put off the re-up on fresh produce and other perishables the other day. Once in awhile I manage to be enough of "my own mother" to look after things properly.

But today earlier I was lamenting that in the evening yesterday, as a snack, I ate what was intended for today's breakfast as the last of the current batch of cooked oatmeal w/ fruit. "No one said no, so,,,"
