We’ve got a cold, damp and windy day today.

My daughter did the morning rounds so that I could sleep in, but I woke with the morning light, anyhow, and never got back to sleep.

Instead, I got all the last of our bell peppers together, cleaned them up and set them to dehydrate in the oven. I didn’t make slices, this time, but just removed the cores and cut them along one side so they could lie flat in large pieces. By the time they’re fully dehydrated, we’ll have bell pepper chips! 😄

Later, I ended up making some hot chocolate mix for my husband. I’d bought some at the grocery store because it was on sale, but it was just a small can, and he never had any of it. We happen to have the ingredients, so I made our own mix. It’s pretty basic. 2 cups powered milk, 1 cup sugar, 1/3 cup cocoa powder and a 1/4 tsp salt. I measured it all directly into the quart sized jar it will be stored in, and gave it a shake until everything is combined. After that, it’s the same as the commercial stuff. Three tablespoons of mix into a cup, mix in some hot water (I prefer to mix in some milk), then top with boiling water.

My husband is very happy. 😊

Otherwise, I’ve been in my pajamas all day, watching YouTube videos and working on my Singlade ball Christmas decorations. It’s been a while since I’ve had the chance to work on them.

Today being Sunday, it’s supposed to be my day of rest, anyhow, so I’m good with this!
