After particularly strenuous shovelling—say, six inches or better, with drifting—I have hot cocoa with a jigger of peppermint schnapps. The cocoa to warm the body, the booze to relax the muscles before the aches set in. Mmm mmmmm...kinda makes me wish a blizzard were on the way!
Golly, that sounds good!
We don’t have to shovel rain, but it does get cold, so I always have cocoa handy. No schnapps, though. I think I’ll have to see if I can find some cinnamon schnapps. In TX, there was some called “Hot Damn.” It was, too....;o]
