Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hi All

There is a thread operating on the Lived Experience Forum under Night Shift where members who are having trouble sleeping for any reason give a bit of a shout-out, to see if there is anyone else sleepless and looking for company. It's been such a great thing, I thought I would start one over here too.

I have had the odd few nights where I have woken up on and off, and my kids have been having a bit of trouble some nights too, depending on what has happened during the day.

Being a carer can be lonely too, so if you are making an after-midnight cup of something hot, and wonder who else might be doing that too, maybe have a look-in here and see if anyone else is about.

Hey @Shaz51 ❤ Yay for rain (I think?). We need some proper rain here soon.

That frothy bit of cappuccinos is delish @Adge! I'm always worried I'll end up with a milk moustache if I drink it out in public so it's one I save for when it's just me!

Hey @Ali11 🙂 I think we've bumped in to each other on a few other threads but I haven't said a proper hi yet. It's nice to see you around and I hope you're enjoying being on the forum 😊

Hi @CheerBear, thanks for the warm welcome. What's your drink of choice tonight?

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

I'm having coffee at the moment @Ali11, which is probably not the best idea so late but I was really tired this afternoon and it's way too early for sleep. My choice of virtual drink for here would be hot chocolate with heaps of little marshmallows. I haven't had marshmallows for a while as I'm yet to find any gelatine free ones, so I'll enjoy them here instead 🙂

How about yourself?

Enjoying a hot chocolate in the spirit of this thread @CheerBear. I'm sure you could find those marshmallows online, there are so many places now catering for all dietary requirements.

@CheerBear, do you like choc mint? If so, you could stockpile candy canes at Christmastime and use them instead of marshmallows. Not as "fluffy", but very tasty.

There are lots of types of Gelatine-free Jelly Snakes (& other jellies) @CheerBear

Yet maybe there aren't any Marshmallows (I've never seen any).

The gelatine substitue is usually Pectin (from fruit), although there are others.
