Almost every Saturday this past winter and spring, the Bear and I would walk downtown to the Co-op and get a hot chocolate and a cookie. (We didn't go this past weekend because the weather was soooo beautiful!)
He mostly got molasses cookies which he calls "glasses" cookies. The last several times we went he picked out the Troll House cookie which is some sort of fancy chocolate chip cookie.
Sometimes he would get whipped cream on top. Sometimes whipped cream with sprinkles or a chocolate sauce drizzle. Sometimes just froth and cinnamon or cocoa powder in pretty designs on top:
Somedays he finished without a trace on his face. Somedays a complete and utter mess:
But it's always (almost) a pleasure sitting across from this face and people watching.
I have a feeling these dates will be more rare now that the farmer's market is back on and the weather is so lovely! One reason to look forward to wintertime!
My favorite of all the photos are #4 and #5!!!! Does Stan B say what he wants on top of his hot chocolate?
ReplyDeletesometimes he makes requests but usually they see that it is for him and they say, "whipped cream?" and he will say yes. the sprinkles and choc. syrup are usually an additional surprise.
DeleteAhhh! So sweet that they see him and automatically say that!!!
