A tall cool one.

There’s a whole class of food categorized as “comfort” – a variety of familiar, home-cooked dishes that are soothing for body, mind and soul. For some, meatloaf, macaroni and cheese or mashed potatoes fit the bill. For me, the ultimate comfort food is actually a beverage – a tall glass of chocolate milk. (It helps if this concoction is shaken up in the “magical cocoa milk-maker” my grandmother gave to me as a child, but I digress.)

There’s something about the perfectly simple combination of ice cold milk and Hershey’s Chocolate Syrup that whisks me instantly away to a better place; it’s like I am 9 years old, there are no bills to pay or gutters to clean and all is right in the world.
