After our unbelievabe waffle experience, we were feeling a bit parched and decided we really needed hot chocolate. It was a cloudy, drizzly day – perfect for warming up in a cozy room with something warm to drink. We found our way to a place called De Proverie. Joanne ordered a cappucino, and John, Michael, and I ordered hot chocolate. After a few minutes, the waitress brought me what looked like a big cup of pure, melted chocolate. I was half thrilled, and half dreading the fact that I was going to have to drink a entire cup full. In theory, it seems like a really good idea, but in reality it would just be so rich I would probably die.  I put my spoon in to give it a stir and “clinked” on something hard. My brain wouldn’t quite process what was going on, and I thought maybe there was a hard shel of chocolate under the melted part…? I finally realized that they had served me a small saucer of melted chocolate on top of a steaming mug of milk, and I was supposed to mix the two together. Duh. It also came with a little plate of fresh whipped cream. It was easily the best hot chocolate I have ever had in my life, and the best part is – they sell the chocolate to melt and make your own at home. I can’t wait for a cool evening so I can drink up. Now I just have figure out how to make those waffles.
