Woodsmoke and mutts

We have the wood-stove cooking up a storm.  It gets so hot we have to open the windows to let out some of the heat.  The smell of woodsmoke is one of the most comforting aromas that exist. Reminds me of hot chocolate and cold toes after a long day's play out in the snow as a child in Cazenovia.

Speaking of hot chocolate -- I've been making some lately with Hershey's Cocoa, milk, sugar, and vanilla extract.  Oh my god - it's so delicious!  Please treat yourself to the real deal - so much better than that nasty Swiss Miss.  Let me know if you'd like the recipe

The mutts...  Dan, Flippy, Jack and Bella respectively
