A post on the lighter side

Today I'm supposed to be snowed in then shovel out in time for a noon dental appointment (*). Since it's so bloody cold out I made myself one of my favorite damn-it's-cold things, hot milk with honey.

What do you guys particularly like for damn-its-cold weather?

(*) Appointment was supposed to be 4PM yesterday but I f'ed up and didn't make it to the office until 4:20 when they were closing up to go home. I'm having a minor tooth issue I want looked at so we rescheduled for the earliest possible time.

Probably not what you're looking for, but I'm a big fan of clothes on the radiator.

Hot cider, which I think I will go get...maybe with a shot of spiced rum

A hot water bottle and/or electric heating pad :-)
A hot bath is also good.

Also, I like simmering milk with sugar and cardamom seeds, then adding a splash of rosewater.

I drink a lot of peppermint tea.

And one thing I learned, from riding in the winter, is that it's almost as easy to get dehydrated when it's really cold as when it's hot. And that if I get chills several hours after riding, it's probably because I needed to drink more fluids.

Hence, peppermint tea.

Homemade hot cocoa with a shot of whiskey.

I'm a peppermint-tea-and-buttered-toast fan. I think that's because I don't really notice the cold unless I'm also kind of sick.
