What kind of special foods do you have

‘tis season? Cocoa, egg nog or something else?

I usually have cocoa at least once in Winter. A few years ago my Aunt introduced me to Mexican hot chocolate. It comes as hard cocoa disks. One of the winters, I religiously made cocoa. The process of breaking the hard cocoa into shreds, mixing with milk, boiling it and pouring the frothy cocoa into a cup was a ritual by itself. I used to have it on Sunday evenings. It was my glass of wine before the week started. Maybe I should start the cocoa tradition this winter.

I also miss having the plum cake during Christmas. We have an abundance of plum cakes in India but no stores sell it here. The only way is for me to make it. Maybe I will 😉
