I tried this creme brulee latte at McDonald's the other day. It was delicious as I had been told, but it is like a dessert, beware the multitude of calories! It's like one of those Starbucks drinks full of whipped cream.
We've had a cold blast of winter the past few days...and lots of snow. It should be back to more seaonal temperatures next week.
This is a scary news story, a Canadian family is considering bankruptcy after being hit with a $1 million dollar medical bill. They were in Hawaii on vacation and the wife was 6 months pregnant at the time. The baby was born prematurely and the insurance company says she had a pre-existing condition, a bladder infection which caused some bleeding. They are saying she had a high-risk pregnancy. The woman says she was cleared for travel and was never high-risk.

Looks delicous, and those things often have lots of nasty calories! Valerie
I saw that story on the news yesterday. Pretty troubling. I'm sure the woman can produce proof from her daughter that she was clear to travel.
That crème brulee looks delicious!
That is a very very scary story. Especially when you consider how different things would have been if she had just stayed in Canada and it had happened there. I hope things get better before they get even worse.
Our local newspaper published a story about that Canadian woman.
As you know, we had trouble with our own travel insurance company when we decided to cancel our trip to France this year. Travel insurance is for the birds. I'll never sign up for it again no matter where I travel.
that coffee sounds and looks amazing, yes, like desert! We watched the story you spoke of on the news the other night, isn't that scary, makes you wonder if we should even bother with Blue Cross!
That coffee looks wonderful!
I was very excited!
This week I'm with a kind of virus and that's why I have to do a diet of toast and coconut water ):
Sad story, very sad. Though to me, she should not have been traveling at all, whilst pregnant. No, no, no. Foolish move. Regardless of the dipweed that cleared her, it was foolish to travel.
That being said, hope they work things out, sounds a horrid mess.
PS: Have you tried Folgers Gourmet Creme Brulee ground coffee? I don't know if I'm spelling brulees correctly, but this coffee is heaven. Even without whip.
adding to groc list thanks!
Sure thing. We find ours not next the regular Folgers, I don't know why that is. But wait until you smell it, I forgot, I got the name wrong. Going out to the kitchen now to get you the correct name.
Oh my good gosh, I had the name all kinds of wrong. It's Folgers Gourmet, Vanilla Biscotti ground coffee.
Sorry about that. We get the creme brulees at the book shoppe, and this is similar to that. Anyway, though, it's a wonderful coffee. We like ours with real local maple syrup and double cream. So flippin' good.
That creme brulees looks delicious and sweet!
I hope they will work out something with her..
Thanks!
Those drinks are good but you are so right they are loaded with calories!
I heard of the story too, doesn't really surprise me. The American health-care system hasn't made sense since like ever.
That looks delicious! I'm sorry to hear about what happened with that family.
Wasn't that an awful story?
Those insurance companies are terrible. Such rules.
