    What is 7-up Plus, Richard?

    It's reeeeeeeeeeally cold in Chicago tonight - could I have decaf coffee, please?

    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.

    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.

    It got cold again here (wind chill near 0 F) so some hot chocolate would go really good right now. (No "secret ingredients", yet, though.)

    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!

    No, he's gonna leave us on pins and needles....

    Barkeep, in the meantime, IT'S FRIDAY!! Work's done, time for a Vodka and Diet Ginger (since I'm not in Utah anymore) and maybe some good cheddar with Triscuits? Anyone want some?

    On a side note - IT'S PET EXPO THIS WEEKEND!! What does my little girl need that she doesn't have?? Have to really think about that! Anyone want me to look for anything for them?

    Here is my hot chocolate pot, I have I think 6 of the small cups, and maybe 4 of the tea cups. I also took a shot from the top, so you can see the unique shape of the spout, and an extra comparison shot with a normal modern size mug - my Pooh mug - next to one of the hot chocolate cups. The porcelain is so delicate I worried about scrubbing too hard when I washed it!

    The pattern is Maidenhair by Malmaison, Germany, J&C company, if anyone was curious.

    Isn't it pretty? And now you can see why I said I do have mugs for those whose hands are too big for the delicate cups!

    That's a beauitiful set. My Mom would have loved to have that one.

    Ah, it reminds me of a slower, more stress free time of living.

    Yes, but the cups are so delicate and small! So we must sip slowly and enjoy the company, and refill often, right?

    Not only do I tend to use my modern-sized mug for hot chocolate, I sometimes use an even bigger one!

    It is bitter cold here tonight, the weather channel says it's 11 above, but "feels like" 8 below zero! Good night for staying in and having a nice cup of cocoa. Anyone want some? Your choice - pretty little cup, mug or larger!

    Hello everybody! Hope you are feeling good this Saturday morning. Me? I am cold. We have snow, and ice here in TN. The roads are very bad. I certainly can't drive on them, I am very dangerous on roads like these.

    Happy Birthday Moff, have a good one.

    David I completely agree with you, poor Phil, losing his job, that is terrible. Wonder if Obama is going to find him another job? LOL!!!!!! Put peta in the cave and seal it good!

    I would like some of that Hot Chocolate, really sounds good this morning.


    Willie

    Thank You, kittycats_delight for my new siggy!!!

    Good Morning y'all!

    The Hot Choco pots are lovely, but I'm sticking with coffee...can I pour anyone a cup? We also have some perfectly toasted english muffins with butter in the nooks and crannies - have some with the fruit!
