hot chocolate

had a chance this afternoon to walk down through the slushy snow and biting winter wind to jacques torres' place and have a cup of hot chocolate. all yummy.

my only fault with his magical elixir is that he heats the milk too hot, so you often get that obnoxious casein skin on the top of the liquid. jacques, watch how you treat that milk, ok?

it was also interesting to see the holiday gift rush beginning, a swarms of well-dressed ladies in their ralph lauren down parkas swept the elegant mahogany stained shelves clear of jaques' hot chocolate mix. the charming tins are an unusual orange-sienna and brown, and come in two flavors -- classic and spicy, or "wicked."

well, they do make fine giving and drinking. . .
