This morning the Porch is decorated with happy little jellyfish dancing around in the snowflakes. Caven and Leilea made the jellyfish under the direction of the talented Miss Desi at today's story time at the Bristol Public Library.

MeoMio, our yellow lab/border collie refugee from the South, loves to keep vigil on the Porch and pouts all day if I leave her inside.

I don't often serve flavored coffee on the Porch, and when I do, it's generally natural enhancements like tangerine slices and cinnamon in the brewing grounds. Today, however, I went totally artificial and added chocolate syrup to the Swedish coffee and toasted marshmallow syrup to the milk before I steamed it, so the foam is like a frothy, roasted marshmallow. I topped it with a sprinkle of coconut sugar instead of my usual agave drizzle because I thought the texture and mellow sweetness would make it a little more s'more-esque. Of course, I served it in my favorite cups I lugged back from Milan. I'd say it's just about as perfect as it gets.
