Ice Latte

My daughter gave me this gift card which had $1.13 left on it, she had been carrying it around for 2 years so I thought I would clear it out, it was about time don't you think? I don't go to Starbucks very often but I ended up ordering a small (short) Ice Latte no sugar and it was delicious. Their drinks are a lot more expensive than say Tim Horton's or McDonald's, just saying. Are you a fan of Starbucks?

And welcome to October!

Earth Day Promo

We had some old friends over on the weekend, it was our first barbecue of the season. It was cold but sunny. How their kids have grown. Their twins will start university in the fall, their third child is in grade 9. But the empty nest is looming. Son K had fun playing tennis with their son. They brought a lovely chocolate mousse over for dessert that went perfectly with some strawberries I served.

It was Earth Day April 22. Starbucks was having an Earth Day promo, free coffee if you brought your own reusable mug. So I participated!  Awful to say, but I much prefer Panera Bread's coffee.  The light roast flavour I like is a blend of Costa Rican, Guatemalan, and Brazilian coffee.  They also filter the water very finely.  What's your favourite coffee if you drink coffee?
