Valerie and I spoiled ourselves rotten with a perfectly divine evening. You can do it too!
– Eat at a neighborhood gastropub and split a few appetizers. My favorite was this crazy good ball of mozzarella with garlic bread, with deviled eggs a close runner up.
– Purchase Godiva hot cocoa mix (mine had hazelnut too), milk, whipped cream, and ciao bella vanilla gelato.
– Go to apartment and put on onesie. Open Netflix and begin watching an enthralling drama + comedy + fantasy + romance (TiMER). Let yourself get sucked in by the realistic insanity.
– Intermission! Heat milk in a clean pot, stir in (lots of) cocoa mix, add whipped cream, and add more whipped cream.
– Remove day-old homemade cookies from baggie and glob ice cream on top. Make into a sandwich if you’d like.
– If and only if you have a second onesie that is larger than the first, put it on over the other. You’ll feel instantly cozy.
– Resume movie and try not to get couch dirty. Employ napkins.
– Say goodbye, and then blog about the awesomeness in hopes that someone else finds similar joy.
