Snow Day and Homemade Hot Chocolate!

Looking out the back door at an almost-white winter wonderland!
Some of our back porch...

It is a chilly snow day in NY! After getting home this morning from our road trip, the snow began! The 4 pictures are some shots taken at about 4:00 p.m., only 5 hours into the storm! Snow is expected to continue into tomorrow morning! 
The kids' sleds-almost buried after leaving them for
just a few minutes!!
The tall bush at the right corner of the house...and the field and woods beyond.


What could be better after the children (adults enjoy it too) have come in from their play, wet, cold, and tired, than to serve them hot chocolate-homemade is so much better. Here is the way-too-simple recipe that you should make today!!!
Hot Chocolate
1/2 C sugar (adjust amount to taste)
1/4 C unsweetened cocoa powder
dash salt
1 1/3 C hot water
3 C milk
1 tsp vanilla or mint extract
Instructions:
Throw everything into a pot and heat through on low heat, whisking occasionally. 
That's pretty much it...just serve it up-add cream or milk-and enjoy! 

Hot chocolate heating on the stove...
Ready to serve!
