Happy Sunday! I hope you’re bundled up and feeling cozy, because the winter chill is settling in deeper each day—which reminds me… our very own GrayViner @Gayle B. mentioned she used to have a wonderful homemade cocoa mix recipe but can’t quite remember how it went.

Now, refill that cup, settle into your favorite spot, and let’s ease into today’s stories together: Million-dollar settlements, Amazon’s recalled gadget, rumors about a music icon’s love life, and more!
