Growing up, my favorite go-to comfort foods were Mom’s chicken and dumplings, and hot chocolate and buttered toast. Yes, hot chocolate and buttered toast! Deep, dark, rich and creamy chocolate ~ crispy, salted-butter triangles of toast… that first dip was heaven, the last was like a punishment.  Today, here in San Antonio, Texas, I am all grown up.  However, it is a (44 degrees with winds gusting up to 35 miles an hour) hot chocolate and toast kind of day… I think I will have a cup of childhood comfort.

 happy friday ~ Practice random beauty and senseless acts of love. v
