Breakfast with chocolate is equivalent to "Breakfast at Tiffany's"
fore-go the beautiful gown and the hair that is.
I won't show you what I wore this morning…
Breakfast with my newfound love… an antique hot chocolate pot… I could just lick it up.
Ah, French morning….the brocante is Tiffany's to me.
The diamonds are the French pastries, the rubies are the napkins, the pearls are the teacups, the golden sparkle is the atmosphere early in the morning when the dealers set up,
the simmering silver is the feeling I have when a treasure is found.
"How could someone sell their family's chocolate pot? A pot that is over a hundred years old and has seen more breakfast with chocolates than I will ever know?" I said out loud though talking to myself.
French Husband asked, "Are you going to sell it?"
"Probably," I said as I poured myself another cup.
"Well then you are like them…" he said between bites.
"No, I am not… I'm sharing."
We drank our chocolate while starring at the little fat chocolate pot.
"Isn't it just too cute?" I murmured.

Many of you asked me for my hot chocolate recipe. It is located on the right-hand side of my blog in the My Recipe Section…
I wrote about it years ago.
Hot chocolate like nothing you have ever tasted.
In a sauce pan pour four cups of fresh whole milk.
Add a drop of pure vanilla,
and 200 grams of dark baking chocolate
sugar to taste.
Cook on low heat, let it cook slowly, stir.
After about fifteen minutes or twenty the chocolate will start to thicken, do not boil.
You may add a flavoring to enhance the chocolate, I have tried:
-Fresh mint
-Vanilla
-Coffee
-Cinnamon
-Chili
Pour it into two large chocolate bowls when the chocolate is as thick as you like it.
Add a dollop of cream to the top.
