Choklit, soss. Choklit soss?

When the galaxy_girl00 is away, the spudtater will... make silly foods.

1 mug chocolate milk
1/2 tsp allspice
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp chili powder

Mix all together, heat in microwave, top with squirty cream. Omnomnom!

Also have made sauce from scratch both yesterday and today. Not my strong point, but something I really want to improve on. Yesterday's wasn't great — I always forget that sauces need at least a bit (usually a lot) of sugar in them to bring out the flavour. Today's was a huge improvement.

( recipe, for those interested )

One thing I could use is a method of thickening sauces that doesn't involve flour, which can make things too stodgy and powdery. Am I missing anything obvious? Or am I going to have to be more adventurous with my ingredients?

Edit: have purchased ground arrowroot. Shall try it some time in the future.
