La Boulange

Have you tried Starbucks' new pastries? I was very impressed with their cheese Danish and flourless chocolate cookie. Yum!

 

Morning Coffee

A little help with my morning coffee.

Affogato

 Starbucks is having frappucino happy hour from 3-5 - of course I couldn't pass! I tried the vanilla bean frap since I've been enjoying the flavor very much because of this:

Remember my blueberry crumble post? Move over blueberry crumble! My our new favorite flavor is vanilla bean espresso. It's a mix of vanilla ice cream with an espresso swirl tasting like affogato. so so so good!

For those who are wondering, Mr. P was missing so his good friend Mr. Tomato filled in for him :)

Felt Art

My store is participating! Yesterday while I was out to Michael's (art supplies store) I realized it was like 4:46 and happy hour is almost over...So we turned the car (legally) and headed to starbucks and got a venti green tea frap! mmmm tastes so good when its only $2.46 :)

Meanwhile, my artsy side has taken over me (so did my love for bubble tea) and I decorated a wooden frame I had bought.

I wasn't sure what I was doing at first so I just cut out the pieces.

I glued them together and ta-da! Now I am craving for bubble tea more than ever.

I'm going to tell you what flavors the colors represent. Starting from the right top and going clockwise : royal milk tea, strawberry milk tea, green tea, passion fruit, thai iced tea, and coffee (I am such a dork and this was so unnecessary.)

And then I felt like this project ended too fast, so I made some popsicles and ice cream and cupcake.

The popsicles represent life saver popsicles (which they don't have in my area). After making all this, I'm done with felt art, and now I am moving on to this world of amazement (which I will tell you in my next post).

Have a great weekend!

Starbucks Happy Hour

Go to a participating Starbucks between 3 and 5 p.m.(May 7-16), and enjoy a half-price Frappuccino® blended beverage.

My store better be "participating", or I vow never to go to Starbucks again.

I am craving...

Starbucks Coffee Jelly Frappucino
At first it tasted kind of funky, but you get used to the jelly inside...it's like trying bubble tea for the first time.
Biggest setback: only sold in Asia


Godiva Chocolate Raspberry Truffle Ice Cream
Biggest setback: discontinued - I haven't seen this in so long.
However, our supermarket now has Haagen-Dazs Green Tea ice cream! (but it's suppose to be a limited edition)must stock up before it goes away!


Lay's Ketchup Chips
My Canadian friend first introduced me to this wonderful flavor of ketchup, and before trying it, I thought it sounded a little too "original". But then again there is a Salt and Vinegar flavor, so why not ketchup? Next to come: Mustard Chips!
Biggest setback: only sold in Canada

However, a couple of months ago, I found a really good substitute (in the U.S. of A!)

but I don't really crave this since I have 2 bags in my pantry. Cravings seem to go away when you have things in your kitchen. sucka!
