It was so good.
When we got to the end of all our treats, we still had chocolate left. I asked Colin what we should do with it when he flagged down the waitress. "Could we have a little milk?" She looked a little confused. With a smile he continued, "We have some extra chococlate and we were thinking about making some hot chocolate." She looked a little unsure of us. Colin asks, "Has anyone ever done that?"
"No."
She looked at Colin, Colin just kept looking at her.
She then said, "I dont' think it will work, I think it will just get clumpy."
She looked at Colin, Colin just kept looking at her.
Then realizing it couldn't hurt to play along, she returned with a small amount of milk. She watched in amazement as Colin slowly poured the milk in. Then she was on board. I don't know if was just interested to see what would happen or suddenly realized this was a brilliant idea, but she came over and turned the burner up under the pot to make it hotter.
Colin slowly added milk, taste testing as he went along. Finally, he says, "It's ready."
He poured a small amount in a tiny little bowl and I sipped it slowly. It was the second best hot chocolate I have ever had in my life. (Napa Rose at Disneyland holds the top spot.)
"Oh my gosh, this is so good." The waitress standing there waiting to see the outcome smiles widely and heads back to work. I look at Colin "They could make a fortune if they added this to menu."
This is why I try new things. This is why Colin and I believe in not always walking the same way everyone else walks. Because sometimes you find something you never expected. People will look at you strange. People will try to tell you it won't work. But once you do it - whatever it is - people who were scared will be standing by excited and glad for your success.
Be the one who asks for milk at a fancy chocolate restaurant. You will be glad you did.
