Coffee anyone?


My hubby has a slight obsession with Starbucks. I frankly don't see what all the hype is about, but he is hooked. I remember taking about a 30 minute detour on a road trip just so we could find a Starbucks. Earlier this year we were on vacation in Breckenridge, CO and the morning we left to come home we decided to take a morning date to Starbucks for some last minute refreshment before heading back to the daily grind. We were both sitting there reading our books when I couldn't help but giggle at the lady behind the counter yelling out some of the orders to be picked up. It was almost like a Saturday Night Live skit. "Tall, double pump, lowfat, caramel machiatto double espresso," " venti mocha frappucino decaf extra whip cream," "venti decaf dulce de leche with 2% milk." I never know how these people come up with these concoctions because they aren't listed on the menu. I would almost need a coffee tasting to learn what all of these big words mean. Well, this morning while going through the Starbucks drive through I decided that I wanted to try out one of these specialty orders. So, I tried a dulce de leche with skim milk. And...I hated it! So, lesson learned. Don't deviate from my normal order. A tall half caf. How do you order your coffee?
