<--Just found this hot cocoa recipe that <--thought <--'d share with yall
1 cup lowfat milk
1 cinnamon stick
2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons water
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Dark chocolate, as a garnish
Heat the milk and the cinnamon stick until just simmering. In a mug, combine the cocoa powder, sugar and water and stir to make a paste. Remove the cinnamon stick from the milk. Pour the milk into the mug and stir to mix well. Add the vanilla extract and stir. Grate a little dark chocolate on top for garnish.

<--muffie update:

Multiple small tumors (most likely malignant) where removed from her small bowel. 1 foot of small bowel was removed. All other organs looked clear. She did do a biopsy of the bladder too. She was waking up, but things are still risky because of the bowel resection. They have to keep her quiet, etc. I hope to visit after work or early in the morning. :( :(

<--now has to focus on work, which is hard!!
