Delicious Genius
I'm not posting my weight, if only to say it's too much.
Right outside my office door, on the counter across the hallway is the coffeemaker.
There is both significance and irony in that fact. The significance is that there is often congregation outside my door. The irony is that I do not drink coffee.
I don't know...something about coffee beans has never stroked my taste buds well. Nasal passages, sure: I can appreciate the aroma. But I've never acquired a taste for it, and caffeine just doesn't do that much for me.
I mentioned modafinil a couple of weeks ago, maybe I should get a prescription or something....nah.
While not patronizing the coffeemaker, I need something else for a warm drink, especially since the A/C is hardwired to 68°F (20°C, yeah, that's cold when it never heats to that temperature). Thus, I keep single-serve packets of hot cocoa in my desk.

I kid myself sometimes that I work for peanuts. Well, I'm not mocking my salary, but there are times I'm just goofing off, listless as it were, and digging the peanuts out of the 3½ lb. tin of mixed nuts (since I've already gotten out all the cashews).
------------
I bet you're wondering how I'm going to tie those together. Well, if you're allergic to milk, soy, cocoa, peanuts, or tree nuts, look away.
1 envelope dark chocolate cocoa mix7 fl oz hot water
1 not-heaping forkful of creamy peanut butter
Using hot water, prepare cocoa according to directions.
Stir in peanut butter.
Enjoy
I shall call it: Reese's cocoa.
