I'll Bet Sis Was Green With Envy

It's no secret that my sister the ex-mayor's wife loves the free hot chocolate at High Winds Casino in Miami, Oklahoma. She got me hooked on it, too. So when we were there last Wednesday, I made sure to get a cup of that delicious beverage, and send a picture to her. Not exactly to make Sis jealous because she couldn't be there. But to show her that I was thinking of her...

"What's that?"

"It's your HOT CHOCOLATE!"

"Why is it purple?"

"WHAT? It's not purple!"

When I looked again, I think it WAS purple.


From the reflection of the Buffalo slot, not actually purple! Still. Sis knew we were at the casinos. Surely she could have recognized a cup of hot chocolate. A double-cup. That doesn't mean I had two. It means I wanted to keep my hand cooler than a single foam cup would allow. But it also made my free hot chocolate stay hotter longer. So my gratification was delayed.

Any normal night, I would have had another. But this was Farmer H's birthday, and we were going to have steak within 10 minutes. So no second cup for me.

  1. Instead of "sour grapes" it was "purple hot chocolate"?

    Hot chocolate is very nutritious. The powdered milk (dairy), the coco (comes from a plant, so it's a vegetable, and sugar comes from a plant, so double vegetable servings for each cup.

    You should have had another cup. Two servings of dairy and four servings of vegetables...

  3. River,
    If only I wasn't with Farmer H, who decrees how long we will stay at each place! Last time, Sis and I each had TWO! If I hadn't burned my tongue, I might have made it three.
