finding inner peace with dairy products
Sometimes, I think we just don't appreciate the little things enough.
Take, for example, milk.
Smooth, creamy, cold, straight from the refrigerator. Poured into a freshly washed glass.
(a glass with a handle, of course. we are romantic, not foolish. easier to *carry*)
Then, a can, a delicious, cold can, of Hershey's syrup. Chocolate.
(like it would be anything else)
Then pour.
Just watch. It's a zen moment. Appreciate the time you spend pouring.
(Because cold syrup has the viscosity of gum, and so, you may be waiting a while.)
Ommm.
(still waiting)
Ommm.
(still waiting)
Ommm.
(you're getting kind of tired of being zen)
Look! Chocolate! A single, magical, dark ribbon hurtling toward the surface of the milk.
(more like, meandering toward, because again, viscosity liken unto gum poured. very slow)
You wait while you pour.
(It's a thin ribbon)
Wait.
(this gets old very fast. shake the can)
Wait.
(seriously. shake it.)
Then spoon! Quick, rapid, one might think desperate, but you are in your zen place stirring, and finally, it's that rich color that says, drink me! Drink me! Drink me!
And so you do.

From:I'm sure it will be a huge success, drink milk, breathe. Apparently drinking 24 oz of milk every 24 hours helps weight loss, Dr./Mrs. Bartlett tells me so.
I watch way too much television.

From:Actually my friend and I have decided, we like the Yoohoo Chocolate Milk the best. We bought some yesterday, it was on sale. And better yet it was pre-made. Now we feel as if we can't get through a day without the stuff.

From:Continue to add until there is a quarter-inch of undissolved syrup collected in the bottom of the glass, and then drink.
