Chocolate chip Cookies and Americano Mistos
My hot husband is in the kitchen making chocolate chip cookies for me as I type this. He's great. I was whining how there were no sweets in the house. Because even though I went grocery shopping today, I was such a good girl and passed the cookie aisle AND the ice cream aisle without stopping. Well, I also had a screaming kid in the cart begging for the bulk cashews I just bagged. But, I couldn't give them to her until we checked out, cuz you know, they charge you by the weight of the bag. So, I had to beeline it to the checkout sans unhealthy evening snacks.

And that is why, at 9:12 pm, my sweet husband (the baker of the house) is whipping up some of his famous chocolate chip cookies.

What else is new? Not much. That's why I haven't blogged. I have Starbucks news for you though. I don't know when it happened. Maybe in the last couple months or so? But, my drinks have been tasting mysteriously different. Like they are missing something. And last week I figured out what it was. On their espresso machine, a magnet read:

"Like many of you, we have switched to 2% milk"

Ahhhh! The horror! Why didn't they tell me? I enjoy every drip of fatty homogenized milk in my lattes thankyouverymuch. And can I just say, I am slightly annoyed that I now have to add two more words to my long drink order. I can just see them rolling their eyes at me as I spew out what I want:

Decaf Tall Whole Milk Americano Misto with Foam

And if I go thru drive-thru I have to get them to add the extras, so the order is even longer:

Decaf Tall Whole Milk Americano Misto with Foam, 2 Raw Sugars and a splash of Coffee Cream

Are you rolling your eyes? I know it sounds ridiculous, but trust me, you should go to Starbucks right now and try one, you really should. It won't disappoint.

    Mmmmmm. That sounds great! Nick was always the baker growing up - he even got oven mitts for his birthday one year. He was a great cook too and almost had Grandma's famous soup recipe mastered ... almost ... I don't think he ever got it just right.
