I like to be aware... of everything.
Evidently that's not recommended.
A while back I was told in no uncertain terms that my life needed an overhaul. Pronto.
My first assignment?
To learn to be in the moment and not worried.
Easy enough. Well... you see there was this bomb squad with helicopters chasing a man with a knife. And a few days later I'm passing through more chaos. Yeah a bomb had just gone off. I go to a show with acrobats... one guy tries to catch his partner... he misses. Retreating to the safety of my home I drift off to sleep and a car lands outside my window... upside down. And there's lots of glass and lights and people. And I'm not sure I'm going to make it past the first assignment. Assignment 1 becomes assignment 1b. Find something that I like and makes me comfortable.
Steamers. I love steamers. I was introduced to them by a small coffee shop in the midwest. They're warm and comforting and delicious. My "recipe" is below.
Step 1. Froth Milk aka make it double in size. I use an immersion blender and a really large glass that is a quarter full. Learned that the hard way. I've heard people use blenders, french presses, whisks, and even just shake it.
Step 2. Heat Milk. I cook mine on the stove stirring until its almost boiling.
Step 3. FLAVOR. The options are endless... Put the flavoring at the bottom of a mug. Add the hot milk and stir (with a chopstick if you're me).
A few of my favorites:
- maple syrup
- honey and almond extract (yesssssss!)
- vanilla
- honey and cinnamon
- honey and ginger
Step 4. Savor on the couch in front of the window while it rains.
