I fell back asleep on the couch after Eor left for work, with the couch quilt and his coat over my legs, trying desperately to get warm. Woke up, discovered it was 68 degrees in the bedroom and called the management company. Sure I'm all for his plan of slowly adding water to the radiators, but they still should be taking responsibility for keeping us at least warm enough to be able to take a shower - it IS the law.
And then I put two pots on the stove and made egg soup and hot chocolate...
Hot Chocolate for One Of Those Days:
Baker's Cocoa - about four heaping teaspoons
Teabags - two
Sugar [ETA: or Honey] - around two tablespoons - again, heaping [or level if Honey]
Vanilla - a capful (it's a small bottle) [ETA: half a capful is probably enough]
Red Pepper Flakes - a dash
Salt - an even smaller dash
Water - a little less than you have Milk
Canned Milk - over half a can [or a little more than you have of water]
Mix all the above in a pot on the stove and try to not let it boil too much.
[ETA: Better to do all the heating first and add the milk only after taking it off the heat. Less sludge that way.]
