Making Do.
So I think to myself, Self, it is fucking cold out there and when the kiddo gets home, he might want hot chocolate.
So I think, Self, that is a great idea. However, I don't know if there's enough powder for a single mug, which means I will need to make more.
And I get everything together, the ingredients and the tools, happy to discover that I will have enough powdered milk for a full batch. EXCEPT, I do not have enough cocoa powder. At a guess, I had maybe 1/3 cup, when the recipe calls for 1 cup. So I did the math and made do, making only a third of a batch. (Note: I do not toast my milk powder and add cinnamon to my mix.)
I might be out of cocoa, but at least I have some hot chocolate powder for a cold-enough-to-freeze-the-balls-off-a-brass-monkey day like today.
