Thawing out needs to be the first order of business. Fire place and hot coffee sound as if they are the beginning of the process. My Grandfather always used to complain of being cold and would have my Grandmother bring him hot hot hot italian coffee. He would then proceed to pick up the spoon - hold it over the coffee upside down and "measure" out some of his alcoholic beverage that he loved (it might have been Amaretto). He said that unless you measured that way the spoons were always too small. Oh yea, he warmed up. It's just a suggestion, but maybe might wanna start with a small spoon. Hmm, might make for some wild HTML templates though.
