1. Where's the bad weather?

We are cold here in Colorado but snow stopped. Not much on the ground.

2. This sounds beyond delicious, thank you. Of course likely

Better with your weather. I'm in Florida, so no snow or ice.

3. For tomorrow night, try mulled wine:

1.5 cups of water
3/4 cup of sugar
combine and boil till sugar melts.

Add about 1.5 cups orange juice, 10 cloves, 3 cinnamon sticks.

Boil all together for about 10 minutes.

Pour in a bottle of a somewhat fruity red wine.

Boil all together for 5 ish minutes.

Strain.

Enjoy!

4. Personally, I prefer making a hot buttered rum batter. . .

. . .consisting of butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves and ginger all creamed together.

And I like to add hot milk, making it a Hot Buttered Rum Cow.

Or hot apple cider.

BTW, the HBR batter can also be used as a spread for making cinnamon toast. Or cooked with heavy cream to make a rum sauce.
