Pumpkin spice, Yes or No?

[Isadora]

I make a killer pumpkin spice hot cocoa from scratch.

I think my husband would have an apoplectic attack if he saw that sentence.
He loves hot cocoa. Seriously, LOVES it. We used to buy it from Dunkin' donuts if we were on our way to town a few years ago. But the problem is, Dunkin' sells flavored hot chocolates, so vanilla hot chocolate, caramel hot chocolate, peppermint hot chocolate, etc, which to my man is sacrilegious. The Dunkin donuts we kept stopping at was a new location, and they kept putting the wrong powder in the slots of the cocoa machine. It was too hot to drink when they served it to him, but he could sniff it and tell whether or not it was the right kind. It was seriously ridiculous how many times it was wrong. They also botched my coffee on several occasions.
Now he only gets cocoa from Starbucks if he buys it while we're out, or I make it at home.
All that to say, my husband would definitely not like your recipe. He thinks hot chocolate should just be chocolate flavored. But I'm glad you liked it!

If this helps, I brewed a pot of Jingle Bell Java this afternoon. It was in the house, it was good, and I don't really care what people think. But next time I probably won't buy as much, LOL.

2 cups powdered milk
1 1/2 cup sugar
1 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
pinch of kosher salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tbsp arrowroot (or cornstarch)

​

1. Combine all the ingredients in a blender. Blend for about one minute, until the sugar is more fine and the mixture is well-incorporated.
2. Transfer the hot chocolate mix to a glass jar to store.
3. To prepare: combine 3 tablespoons of hot chocolate mix and 1 cup of hot water in a mug and stir. (Optional) Add whipped cream, milk, marshmallows, or chocolate syrup for serving.

If you want an even richer hot chocolate, use 4 tablespoons instead of 3.

I’ll just say no (it’s not too early) because I’m already ready for egg nog and have been listening to Christmas music for like a month already!

You don't think there's germs on the cart!

None that I care about. Especially if people being so concerned about covid, everyone and their mother is wiping the cart handle. I don't need to wipe it as well.

I've always been a bit of a germaphobe, I'm not scared of getting sick I just hate being sick. But I am also not afraid of food that hits the ground, I don't even wash my eggs. I just don't make sense
