- Go to JUST FOR FUN, WITH A STOP AT STARBUCK'S
Re: You're very kind - Starbucks would certainly think so. In my
innocence I once walked in and presented my battered Dunkin Donuts travel cup and asked for a de-caf. The kid took it between her thumb and forefinger and asked "What kind of de-caf?" "There are kinds?" I didn't understand the recital that followed but managed to get something in the cup. "Is this vente or grande, sir?" "Huh?" actually I liked it, though it took a lot of sweetener. Thanks for your visit. - Bob

Re: Jay, Starbucks has always been a mystery to me - I approached it
with too much awe and wonder (I still don't get vente and grande straight). Well, this poem cured that for a while. I DO like the Starbucks instant, though. It does taste like the real thing.

A double shot of espresso with just a hint of caramel will do just fine...a fun read Bob and well flavored too.

Re: You really SHOULD let it pass you by - the stuff I dream up at two in
the morning is too terrible to contemplate seroiusly. Mix in some spinoffs from Ben and Jerry's (a leftwing Vermont ice cream firm) fanciful naming and there's no telling where you wind up!- Bob

Re: Wow! No, I didn't know that! I thought I'd heard
(and once actually tasted!) the limit when I had garlic ice cream in Philadelphia. But oyster is hard even to imagine! The trick to triple dip is keeping it in the cone and offyour lap. - Bob

Much of this passes me by, I'm afraid, as I don't drink coffee and am a touch ignorant of the choices...

I think our Culvers has something like that. LOL
Did you know that oyster ice cream was a favorite of Mark Twain.

Re:My son has an electric French processor to grind his coffee beans.
In every other way he's an ideal son, but in this he drives me nuts whenever I visit. A friend of Ginny and mine is trying to get us to buy one of those Keurik coffee makers with the little individual plastic containers. I don't think so. How are you? - Bob
