Rainy November Days & Chocolate Soup
We’re having some rainy November days in the hollow. Between the wind and the rain, the last of the leaves have fallen. These are good days to put a pot of soup on the stove to simmer and then curl up with a good book. What are you cooking and reading today?

CHOCOLATE SOUP
Put three tablespoonfuls of cocoa into a double boiler, and add gradually one pint of boiling water. Stir for at least five minutes over the fire.
