Random things (and GIP)
Jan. 9th, 2023 06:43 pmI have to admit that as someone who lives in a town that's too small to have the kind of artisanally designed coffee drinks that you get in big cities (I mean, we obviously have a billion coffee shops and drive-thrus, but mostly it's just the basic espresso menu) - I really enjoy Starbucks' seasonal Weird Fancy Latte flavors. I just tried the pistachio latte and it's good, not too sweet and very rich. They also accidentally gave me a 16 oz when I ordered (and paid for) a 12. I tip well, so I'm not going to mind a little free coffee.
(I live in hope that the dark chocolate mint slushie will come back one of these summers. That was great.)
