The City Bakery Hot Chocolate Festival & Marshmallow Knitting.

I don't know if you have a bakery in your town that has marshmallows on strings hanging from its ceiling.

But I do.

City Bakery, Maury Rubin's masterful bakery palace on 18th street, just a few paces West of 5th avenue.

Marshmallows edible & knitted.

Hanging on strings, piled in bowls, packages in fluffy clear packages like edible pillows, waiting to be floating, sunglassed, in a pool of thick velvety rich hot chocolate, the flavor of your choice.

Because February Is

 
The City Bakery annual Hot Chocolate Festival Month.

And this year, it's 17th year running,

if you're free the night of Thursday February 18th

you could learn

HOW TO KNIT A MARSHMALLOW!!!!!

yes. I'm way excited. too.

Come one, Come All, Come Knitters or Chocolate Lovers or both or neither!

Last night I had Lemon Hot Chocolate. Mmmm lemon & chocolate.

But there are many other flavors to be had-- check out the hot chocolate festival interactive calendar...

Such fun-you are lucky to be in New York.

That is totally cool. I can knit after you get me started, I learned when I was 12 from my grandmother, but I can't remember for the life of me how to start, and the only thing I ever made was a very ugly dark green scarf. Haven't knitted since, but I do cross-stitch. Marshmallows mmmm. Thinking about the honey-vanilla ones you said you made when you were here.

Thanks for the wonderful reminder, I would have missed this again if I didn't see your post. Looking forward to Earl Grey night.
