Case in Point

This afternoon is a prime example of why I had to give up daytime TV.  My daytime TV consisted purely of watching the Food Network.  This really, er, enhanced my afternoon snacking.  I stopped watching TV during the day several months ago.  Today we were all stuck at home with colds.  So the TV has been on all day.  For some reason, we all want to watch TV when we feel crappy.  True to form, the kids go down for naps, and I turn on the Food Network.  Giada is on making treats for a Halloween party.  I'm hooked.  Then Ina comes on and does a show on chocolate.  I'm enthralled.  She makes Mexican hot chocolate, which I love.  As soon as the show is over, I'm tearing through the pantries looking for chocolate to melt down in milk.  Just so happens that I have WHOLE milk in the house, thanks to Jacob's impending 1-year mark.  It's a nasty cloudy, windy day out. Perfect for rich hot chocolate.  So here I am.  It is so good.  :-)
