Unless my memory is playing tricks on me again, I think it's safe to say that my attempt at making Spanish-style hot cocoa has failed. I blame this on the fact that the recipe I found uses metric units. How am I supposed to know what 25g corn starch mixed dissolved in 120mL water looks like? Actually, though, the texture isn't really the problem. The problem is that the thick, hot, brown liquid congealing in my cup smells and tastes sickeningly sweet. It is oppressive and out of control. I might have to go out and dig a hole in the back yard to dispose of it.

What could I expect from such a rainy day? At least I tried.
