[How to make chocolate wine

Bring wine to boil. Set it alight and allow flame to burn off. Boil until liquid becomes syrupy and reduces to 150ml

Grate or finely chop chocolate and put to one side. In a separate pan, bring milk slowly to the boil, pour it over the chocolate and stir

Add reduced wine to the chocolate milk, heat and froth using a whisk or hand blender. Serve immediately ]

Have you tried making it yet?

I don't drink alcohol.

[loulou]

I didn't ask if you drank alcohol. I asked if you had tried making it yet.

No.

I was also think of buying an Artic lorry which I do not have an HGV licence for.

[loulou]

You are just thinking of yourself and not others. I do not drink coffee but I make it for those who do.

No one in my house drinks alcohol.

No one in my house drinks coffee.

Do you send them to the garden to drink it when you make it for them?

[loulou]

I do try to do that. I have tried to convert all visitors to tea or juice but they won't agree to it.  Just the smell of coffee gives me a headache.

Weird! Marble says the same at bedtime to me and there is no coffee in that room

I'd offer a pain killer but the paracetamol.

Hung like a donkey.

Strange one that. I've never seen a donkey being hanged.
