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.

☕️

Hi @Former-Member

Glad to hear you had a good day ..... I was saying on another thread earlier today that I love winter, but the warm sunshine breaking through on some days is just glorious ..... ❣

I have a different reason for a varied diet. In our religious beliefs there is a fasting pattern across the church calendar. On fasting days we follow a vegan diet plus shellfish - known as "bloodless creatures". Snails, insects ect are included for those who have a taste for it ....

So .... in light of that there are many days in the year where non-dairy is the order of the day .... 😊 Has led me on a path of intrigue through culinary history in my ancestral lands .... and back to the early church history where these practices rolled forward from Judaism.

Do you know that in the Middle Ages in Britain and other parts of Europe nut meals were used to thicken soups and stews where we reach for flour now ? Many such points of interest if that's what draws you ....

Has revolutionised my kitchen, I can tell you ❣

I would love one but feeling a bit of a sweet tooth so I would not mind a Vanilla Latte.

Oh that sounds lovely a nice riverside walk. Am stuck out in industrial area today for work so no fancy places to walk and see. But the client is so lovely so cannot really complain!

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hi @Karren and @Anony18 I havent met you before but welcome to the Hot Choc thread ... @Faith-and-Hope's idea.

I am like her and love to do research into history and culture and that includes understanding the background for religious practises.

We are in a modern world but often it seems human being have not changed all that much ... the technology may have but ... we still all have fairly similar needs.

I am having tropical fruit juice at the moment ... then off to bed.

Take care ... all
