Snow overnight and a high of -21 tomorrow? An actual below freezing day for a hot chocolate quest confirmed? My goodness! Hot Chocolate Quest 3 will actually be buoyed by the heat of the chocolate!

Stopped by Paradigm Spark to try the Iced Hot Chocolate. The crowning foam has quite a bit of zip with the ginger and chili! As you drink, the foam drifts below the ice to mix into the clear depths,granting an ever hanging look. When you get to the liquid below, at first it's almost bland in comparison but then it let's the flavour open up. Would highly recommend!

The final Hot Chocolate for today is at T2722, not a catchy name but a lovely place. The drink: Le Moment Poire & Chocolat. They build the drink for you and let you try it step by step, until the playful pear is dancing on top of chocolate steeping fresh ginger while you stir with an almond waifer... For the second time today I've found my new favourite, I only regret that it will be a very hard act to follow.

If anyone around town wants an excuse to blow off work for a day, go tromping around, and reward themselves for their boldness with some hot chocolate...

Just two months to Hot Chocolate Fest, time to start planning this year's charms! First, a redesign of the back, I'm going to try for single piece designs for all the art pieces so I can raster the hole but cut the fill all in one. Going to tweak the mug side, something like this.
Does the steam read properly? Might be wandering too far... Or not enough?
