#I was wit him in greace; Athens rodos and some other islands I forgot about
Text
I made myself hot chocolate from scratch today. It was really nice; reminded me a bit of my trips with my godfather.
#when I was little#around 8 to 11 I think; tho it might have been a year in each direction#my god father; who's a headmaster in a prestigious opera song academy in Leon; would take me on trips#I was wit him in greace; Athens rodos and some other islands I forgot about#and I once traveled to the carabean#we'd always stay at either a cheap motel he rented day of; or at one of his girl friend's houses; they were always very sweet#he was a closested gay#it was a kind of open secret; I think the person it bothered most was him#but I remember each morning I would get a big bowl sized glass#cup?#one of those bowl cups#it was yellow#thinking about it now; my grandfather has an almost identical one; just not as glossy#of hot choco#made in a pot#from local chocolate bars#little tubes of compacted coco powder; with some; but little coco butter#about the length of your index finger; maybe bigger; and as thick as a thumb is wide#she'd grind it with a little zester type grinder; the small flat ones with a handle#sometimes I'd help#it was really nice#I got really nostalgic making myself choco#with dark chcolate bars and coco powder and sugar#and just a little bit of butter and cream#to be honest; the coco I drank then was objectively disappointing#the chocolate never incorporated cleanly and it was good; but nothing amazing#but the feeling of it#the context and the fact it was made by a caring host#it really made it great#and today I could show that same kind of love to myself again
