Favorite winter warmup?

Hot chocolate with a shot of Bailey's Irish Cream. Yum. And my kitty cat. And a warm blankie. With the fireplace going.

I checked warm/hot beverage but is it just me or am I the warmest and most comfortable/relaxed right when my alarm clock is going off for work? I just know that is the coziest I'll be all day and do I hate getting up:LOL:

Snuggling ;-)

Hey, Kathy,
I think us old farmers have it all figured out!
Going to snuggle in now.
Bernie

I went for all of the above plus 4 Shar Pei plus electric blankets top and bottom (sometimes heating a down throw in the dryer) and only coffee w/Caroleans (3/4 Caroleans to 1/4 coffee) and only one of those just to get warm.

baby, it's cold outside.

really, really, really cold! and windy! i'll take anything warm to eat, drink, or snuggle in!

I'll ditto mininissandog's chickin n' dumplin's, followed by a close second, Carol Shelby's chili, hmmmm. with hot chili beans topped w/sour cream. Of course, I wouldn't be a TRUE blue southerner if I didn't mention the staple of the kitchen, grits, made with milk instead of water, extra creamy, w/lots of real butter. No wonder I put on weight in the winter. Yikes!

I have got to be freezing to death to drink hot liquids. I am not a coffee drinker, but I will drink a little coffee with my cream and sugar if it is reeeaaally cold. (Or if I'm outside and need something to keep my hands warm.)

Bernie, Snuggling is something to look forward to after a whole day of chasing animals, planting plants, cleaning barns, greenhouses, watching grandchildren.....and doing all this while it is below zero!!!

Stay warm.
:) Kathy

COFFEE!

Don't you like something hot brought out to you when you are working outside? Goodness, I love it. Husband turning up with a flask of something when I'm down in the woods, or turning a new bed. Excellent. My favourite.

Coffee with hot cocoa mixed in!

Yes, to all of the above. If it's really cold, and I'm feeling yucky from the flu or a cold, I stop by a Chinese restaurant on my way home and get chicken noodle (nurrdll) soup. It does the trick!

All of the above and turning electric blanket up to Thermo Nuclear Explosion setting.

Nothing like a bowl of homemade chili or soup to warm the body and soul. And homemade sourdough bread too! yum yum!

Pyrat Rum & Coke, with a generous helping of Cuban Chicken & Rice, and a chaser of flan. Yum.

A nice bowl of homemade soup with fresh baked bread, nice and toasty after that

Somewhere I heard that in parts of the world (it was told to me as being in Russia), they drink Hot beverages in the summer and cold in the winter thinking that it would equalize the body to the weather. I drink hot tea, cocoa and have soups/chili throughout the year, the latter making for a lighter meal.

Home made beef stew and crusty rolls. I do love a big mug of strong coffee in morning. It is so cold here I need blankets, hot food, and could I borrow a hubby to snuggle with? :)

snuggling, hot baths, warm fire first then food and beverages unless absolutely unavailable. After a winter motorcycle ride, I love to get a hot cup of anything and hold it to my frozen corpse.

Polartec everything -- jacket, shirt, blanket. Warm boiled wool slippers. Cooking -- the stove warms up the kitchen and the cook. Traveling to warm climates (LA this January) and exercise indoors -- weight lifting and/or aerobic exercise -- they fix it so I don't even need a coat when I go out. Chile is always good, as is Indian food with lots of spice, but I drink coffee and iced tea year round. Coffee for breakfast, iced tea for lunch. Red wine for dinner.

How about tickets to the Bahamas?

Lately I've taken to hot apple cider with a sprinkle of cinnamon and a dash of cloves. (But am really liking the sound of ticket to bahamas)

A nice warm jacuzzi is great while enjoying a hot apple cider toddy.

hahaha hot flushes!!! "say on sister".....

Hot tub...mmmm... full of tubby goodness......

rub down with a leather sahmmie.... too funny... wahahahahaha

Down under??? hmm we warm up with the sheep skin boots, a billy of tea and a hot pie and sauce!

She'll be right mate!

p.s why do you'all call coffee 'Joe?'

A yummy feather quilt - and a long nap under that!!!!!!!!!! No snuggle mates around any more. Fireplace is poor producer of heat. Tomato basil soup from Safeway is pretty awesome ............ but a quilt covered nap is my number one choice!

Snuggling with my love by a fire with a goblet of warm mead.

According to one legend, in the past the US Navy served wine on board its ships. But that stopped when Admiral Josephus Daniels became Secretary of the Navy. Admiral "Joe" banned wine from the officer's mess, except on special occasions. Peeved sailors began to sarcastically refer to their coffee, one of the few drinks permitted, as a "cup of Joe.".

A nice big bowl of beans along with some pork chops.

When we were in NY, it was our "Snow Day" meal

Hey cee! thanks thats pretty cool!

Hot cider or hot chocolate with lots of whipped cream, a blanket, a good book, my golden retriever, and my kids in another part of the house - HEAVEN!

Anything involving hot, melted cheese on it!

Hurry inside and stand in front of our woodstove with happy glowing fire inside.

They are just the most gorgeous pooches i've seen!

move over puppies!

The above plus a pile of cats and dogs!

I love a hot bowl of cream of wheat with a little sugar and a dab of butter. Warms the insides really well and leaves such a nice full feeling.

We swapped a lovely coonara for ducted heating, as Julia Roberts would say, BIG mistake! BIG BIG mistake!!!!!! .......... Snuggling down wrapped in quilts, with soup and sourdough bread, or a HUGE mug of hot chocolate, hot date scones with lashings of fresh butter, and/or the ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY chocolates, is a rather close estimation of heaven for me, plus the added bonus of cats who love to snuggle too........

I certainly do enjoy steamy mugs of coffee, tea, etc. but, my absolute fav ww is fleece. I love it's instant warmth, and a fleece throw is great for snuggling.

Sunshine!!!!!! It doesn't feel as cold when the sun is shining.

LOL the "hot flashes" comments above.

When I was in Savannah last summer, a little old lady working at a convenience store told me they call them "private summers" in Savannah. Of course, she pronounced it "summah" in the Southern way.

I create my "private summahs" by sitting by the fire with a glass of iced tea....weird, I know!
