small little piece of advice

in celebration of another day of fabulously unseasonable weather, I took a little jaunt over to my nearest starbucks today for my first frappuccino of the season. Low and behold they had a new flavor - toffee nut. Noticing that this new flavor is seasonable (and lord knows I'm a fan of the seasonable starbucks drinks, gingerbread lattes -mmmm), I decided to give it a shot before my chance expired. What a major disappointment, the thing was so sweet it was like a blended heath bar, save yourself, don't get one, unless the idea of a blended heath bar appeals to you.

I do have to admit that I love the new little signs they have with my barista's name, photo and his/her favorite starbucks beverage. It gives me joy to know that Jacqueline recommends a Venti half-caf, sugarfree vanilla skim peppermint mocha with whipped cream and that it tastes like a warm peppermint patty. In fact one day, I may even decide to order this some day. It couldn't be any worse than the toffee nut frappuccino.
