Cuddle Party

[ysabetwordsmith]

Everyone needs contact comfort sometimes. Not everyone has ample opportunities for this in facetime. So here is a chance for a cuddle party in cyberspace. Virtual cuddling can help people feel better.

We have a cuddle room that comes with fort cushions, fort frames, sheets for draping, and a weighted blanket. A nest full of colorful egg pillows sits in one corner. There is a basket of grooming brushes, hairbrushes, and styling combs. A bin holds textured pillows. There is a big basket of craft supplies along with art markers, coloring pages, and blank paper. The kitchen has a popcorn machine. Labels are available to mark dietary needs, recipe ingredients, and level of spiciness. Here is the bathroom, open to everyone. There is a lawn tent and an outdoor hot tub. Bathers should post a sign for nude or clothed activity. Come snuggle up!

I'm very curious now. I love chocolate, and good chocolate is even better :)

Old school has always been melting "hard" chocolate into milk. Often with egg added or sommat, among other ingredients. Amongst folk of Hispanic extraction (both Latinx and Castillanx) cinnamon is one of those; if you're really feeling in need of warmth, a slight bit of chile can be added. Chocolate-and-cinnamon melting tablets can often be found in ethnic aisles in supermarkets, or in the little tiendas and bodegas in Hispanic neighbourhoods.

The stuff I have is powder but its base ingredients are the same; the brand name is "Abuelita" ('grandmother' with a diminutive-endearment ending)... the cinnamon note is not *strong* but it's there and it's rich and warming... my favourite tea lady is Latinx (among other interesting things) and gave me some because `ohana...

*frowns* I don't know if Hispanics have a _word_ for that... They just use the terms for relative (tia, tio, abuela, etc.) whether or not there is genetics involved... still.

Ah yes. I have made hot chocolate that way, though just with the melting chocolate from the store, so possibly questionable quality there. I don't think I've added spices before, and definitely not eggs, but I think I shall add cinnamon next time I make it that way :)
