I have drinking chocolate on my mind today, because Ursula mentioned that she has packets of hot chocolate for us. It's good stuff, but it doesn't really compare to the few precious cups of cioccolata calda that I've had at various points on this trip. Sometimes it's hard to know whether the stuff is supposed to be drunk or eaten. It is thick, creamy, dark and only a little sweet. In Arezzo, when we ran into the chocolate festival, all of the little booths had machines dispensing the stuff. Walking along the street, I came across a man standing over a giant pot of hot chocolate. This just screamed fresh, homemade chocolate to me and that's where I purchased my cup. I'm sure that the other booths were just as good and fresh, but this one had all the heart.
Anyway, enough with my blathering. The weather is starting to cool down here, but I'm sure that many of you in the States are already experiencing snow and other yucky things. Hot Chocolate is what you need to cheer you up! Here's a link with a couple of tasty looking recipes. Enjoy!
