Starbucks…Did You Know
October 1st, 2009 @ 1:14 pm
Yes, I’m on a Starbucks kick (poor child of mine with some caffeine). About 7 weeks into this pregnancy, the thought of or smell of coffee would completely disgust me. I didn’t even want to be in the room while Jason was drinking it and certainly don’t get near me and talk to me with coffee breath. Bleh! For the past couple of weeks, coffee has started to sound good again. I’ve been limiting myself, but have enjoyed the tastes I’ve gotten.
This past week we went to Starbucks. They have their Pumpkin Spice Latte out for this year. It was in the afternoon and very hot, so I wasn’t in the mood for a hot drink. I figured my only option was to go for one of their Smoothies or a Frappuccino. To my surprise, I found out that any of their coffees can be made into an iced coffee or a blended coffee. Iced is obviously just a cold version of the hot drink with ice in it and the blended is more of an ice cream like drink (in my opinion) with crushed ice in it and a thicker texture.
So, what did I do? I got a Blended Pumpkin Spice Latte (tall is plenty big). It tasted SO amazing (I think I’m in love)!!! If you haven’t tried this yet, and like cold coffee, try this with your favorite coffee blend at Starbucks and see what you think. YUMMY! I want one now!

Did you know that you can request to have it made with decaf coffee?? Baby White might appreciate that when he’s trying to sleep!

That’s a great tidbit. Maybe I can talk Jason into going to Starbucks after small group tonight so I can try my new discovery in decaf.

I discovered the pumpkin spice latte last week. It was delicious! Perfect for fall and winter!

Yes, definitely ask for it the way you want it. They are required to make something you like, even if it’s different than what you originally ordered (That’s what we did when I worked there anyway.).
Jan, glad to hear coffee is returning to your life– I must admit it was a little strange to reconcile a dislike for coffee and you in the same thought!
Heehee!

I know….coffee without me just doesn’t go together, does it?

Yeah, I was hoping for the Pumpkin Spice Latte Blended after small group tonight, but it didn’t happen. I did get some Pumpkin cookies at small group though, so I wasn’t without.

Yeah, I’m slow, but catching on slowly.
Wish Starbucks was still open tonight. I’d be heading there now. YUM!
