Food is the most primitive form of comfort. (Sheila Graham)

Hot Cocoa

Mix 2 tablespoons sugar with 2 teaspoons cocoa. Add a little milk, and stir until smooth. Continue adding milk a little at a time until the mug is 3/4 full. Heat in microwave about 1 minute (maybe 1 1/2 minutes). Top with whipped cream.

When I'm not feeling well, or when it's chilly outside, I love homemade cocoa. I've had a lot of cocoa today -- I'm still sick AND it's cold outside. (Isn't Florida supposed to be warm year round?) My other big comfort food is a peanut butter and bacon sandwich, but I'm trying not to think of having one of those...
