Festive Styrofoam

Being the day before Thanksgiving, I needed a little push on a budget (we are all saving for Christmas shopping right?). I stopped at the Dunkin' Donuts on my commute to work. The sun rise was BEAUTIFUL and matched Dunkin's colors wonderfully. I thought about telling the Drive Thru operator, but then decided maybe he wouldn't appreciate it. If only I had an iPhone to take a photo I thought to myself. *hint hint Mustang Man* Anywho, I merrily received my Medium Coffee with cream and sugar and continued on my trek. And as I was singing "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" I realized my DD cup had snow flakes on it and a little message to me!

Please notice the creative placement of the Double D.

Happy Holidays to all!!!

Fall makes me need...

Back at home in the Northwest, there is something we like to call coffee. You may think you know coffee, but unless you have had a REAL cup from WA,OR,ID, or MT you haven't. My dear friend Emily was a barista for many'a coffee shop in the years past. I lived with her for a summer, and never had her make me a cup of joe. One of life's biggest regrets, especially when I came across this on her Facebook last fall.

What is this? Mexican coffee. I have had a few variations of this most wonderful and deliciously warm liquid heaven, but never with the fired sugar on top. What concept! If I can get her to come out here to the Southwest I would be more than delighted to buy a torch, solely for the purpose of her making me this delightful beverage.
In the fall I need real coffee (Java, Thomas and Hammer, Dawson Taylor), pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a fireplace with slippers. And a spot of soup here and there.
So what do you say Em? Need a break from the cold yet?
