On The Dinner Menu Tonight…

Lately I have been living off salvaged refrigerated food scraps, fresh fruit, snacks and home-made treats. My life is a lot like a nutty professors, bent on discovery with little patience for creating elaborate meals for one. This habit must and will be broken soon, and I actually created my first sit down meal in over 2 months last night, but tonight, I have lots of work to do.

My great friend Danny — who’d heard I’d got my hands on some locally squeezed, insanely creamy fresh unpasteurised non-homogenised cows milk — stopped by to deliver a little bottle of brandy, to create a special drink. So tonight for supper, I’m having left-over home-made oatmeal cookie crumbles and Brandied Hot Chocolate!

Here’s the recipe:

Mix together 2TBS raw cocoa (unsweetened), a generous dollop of honey/agave/sugar in a cup. Slowly stir in hot milk until completely delicious. Stir in a tip of vanilla essence. Stir in a big swig of brandy. Sprinkle nutmeg on top. Dip oatmeal cookies at your leisure. Work hard through the night, happily.
