    Well, good luck with that PETA. This tradition has been around here in Pennsylvania for over 100 years.

    Do you think PETA would be offended if I sent them my Ground Hog recipes?

    I'll make some hot chocolate, and still in honor of Aunt Zsa, I'll even serve it in the lovely hot chocolate pot and cups - porcelain of course, that I inherited from Aunt Bertha! I said "what's that" at the shape of the pot, and my antique-dealer friend told me "hot chocolate pot, of course"! My best hot chocolate is extra rich, and has cinnamon added - want some, Gayle? Others?

    Count me in on the hot chocolate Karen. It's turning cold again after being rather mild.

    I didn't know anyone knew what a hot chocolate pot was. I have a beautiful one with 6 matching cups that belonged to my mother, so I suppose it qualifies to be called an antique now. I have it in my china cabinet, along with a beautiful tea set and some other very old pieces. They all have a "look, but don't touch" status!

    HOT CHOCOLATE POT PICS


    Here is mine........

    They aren't very big. This one measures 7.5 inches tall to the top of the spout, and 5.25 Inches in diameter at the base. It has 6 matching cups, but I just put one in so you could get the idea.

    7up Plus is a flavored version of regular. Pretty good, esp. when you are sick and want something besides regular.

    DONE!

    Something for this killer headache would be great. I've already had high test advil, to some relief.

    Love the HC pot. Never heard of such a thing.

    Thanks! This set is really pretty plain compared to some of the VERY ornate ones I've seen. If you Google "antique hot chocolate pot", you'll see what I mean.

    The little cups hold 4 oz, and the pot will give you 8 of those. Remember - this was in the days when folks were more refined and didn't drink from big mugs or super-size their drinks! I can just picture the ladies sitting around sipping their hot chocolate (with that pinky finger extended of course), just like they did at their tea parties!
