Brrr ... it's cold!

This morning the air was cold, the North Wind blew with all his strength to these curves in the countryside. After the rain, the sky was cloudless, clear, blue full. But that's cold!

One of the reasons why I love the Winter is ... the hot chocolate.
I granted a sweet moment, just for me and I enjoyed until the end ... by the glass!
I prepared so

half cup of milk, partially skimmed
a spoonful of sugar cane
50 grams of cocoa.

In a saucepan, over low heat, I added the first cocoa powder and I added the milk gradually, stirring well. The secret to make it more beautiful dense is add a pinch of frumina. I then I added the cinnamon, my favorite spice, continuing to stir until boiling tap. You will find that stirring the chocolate takes body. then let it burn off and not otherwise have a horrible taste [to prepare a perfect chocolate need to do trials =) ... I should know].
Poi ho aggiunto un cucchiaio di panna...mmmm che buona!
La cucina era ammantata degli aromi penetranti della cannella e del cacao e in poco tempo ho trovato calore , mentre fuori il Vento col suo canto attrae la mia attenzione, vado alla finestra e osservo.

Cacao & Cannella tra i miei pensieri, nelle mie ambizioni, nelle mie aspirazioni.

 e come per Magia...il mio simbolo preferito, che presto tatuerò sulla mia pelle [devo SOLO decidere dove]

And when I talk about chocolate and Magic I can not help me think of one of my favorite movies [I'm going to reread the book, like every year at Carnival time], you know those movies where you see that seem to be talking to you? Well, this film is about a little bit of me on the contrary, in fact, my very essence ... Sit back and listen here ...

Happy Winter ... pamper yourself with a hot chocolate ... the chocolate has magical powers ... and never forget a pinch of cinnamon ...

"The Maya believed that cocoa had the power to release hidden desires and reveal the fate "

[from the movie Chocolat]

" The ability to provide friends cinnamon, cinnamon brown and as hot as the skin, to help you find someone who will take your hand, running, laughing with you and say, 'Look, this is America, not so bad. "

And for all the others, those eyes hard as stones, cinnamon destroyer of enemies to give you strength, strength in the legs and arms, but especially at the mouth because one day [...] you know shouting "
