When in doubt: GIP!
Jul. 17th, 2008 07:04 pmThe nebulous notion for this icon has been slowly coalescing in my cerebrum for a while, now. But I couldn't make up my mind to actually make it...
And then,
snowgrouse posted an entry about homemade buckwheat pancakes with strawberries. And the last shred of resistance disintergrated.
One of the things about my trips to New York since Dad got sick, has been that we stay in hotels... Hotels have cable ... So I get to see shows I never get to see at home ...
(Don't worry, this is not as big a non-seguitor as it appears)
During this last trip up, we basically parked the set on the Food Network.
On one of the shows, there was a recipe for homemade "Cola" (even though it has no actual cola bean in it):* a sugar syrup flavored with coffee, lemon zest, and vanilla.
Hmm.
You do know what single, common-denominator flavor each of those flavors just love, don't you?
Chocolate!
(And yeah, cherry's good, too...)
So why haven't we seen a chocolate cola, yet? Hm?
*Although, to be fair, there's no mashed up root of the Marsh Mallow in marshmallows, any more, either...
