Ah-h-h, what relief! Wouldn\’t I love to have this waiting for me when I get home at the end of a 40-mile ride on a cold day! Hot chocolate tastes so-o-o good when I come in cold.

I\’ll bet I could make a hot drink using powdered milk and chocolate whey protein powder. I don\’t think I\’ve tried that yet, and it\’s time I did. And to have cookies fresh out of the oven in addition to the hot chocolate would be heavenly. Maybe gingersnaps. Or add some spices to the hot chocolate, and have still-warm sugar cookies as a \”side\”.

Unfortunately I don\’t have anybody around to spoil me like that. If the wave of the future in service is robots, however, maybe if I get rich (yeah, like that\’s going to happen), I could have a \’bot that I can program to have my hot drink and cookies ready at the time I expect to reach home.

Until then, however, having hot chocolate made is entirely up to me.
