Stupid Coffee Creamer

[Tazicket]

Eggnog is in the stores here in Mass. And, now, back at Starbucks - Eggnog Latte! YUMMY!

I'm so jealous! We only get eggnog from sometime in Novemeber through January or February (I think).

How do you already have Eggnog?! Stupid Florida.

You know what else rocks? (You might have it up there, since you're in the North) Snow Cream! I'm pretty sure Mayfield puts it out. The only time I've seen it was when we were in TN visiting relatives. It's sooo good - tastes just like the real thing (without the risk of cat piddle).

Holy crap!!! Don't even start talking about desserts! I have 3/4 of a chocolate cream pie in the fridge!

I'll send you some eggnog if you'll pack up that pie and ship it overnight!!!!!

I've never had snow cream... this is our first Christmas in Pittsburgh. I can't wait to find some. WOO HOO! New dessert!

Okay, so are you going to dump the vanilla brownie creamer or are you going to stick it out, hoping it will taste better in the morning?

I will say that the week I had that one, I actually dreaded Coffee time! When has THAT ever happened????:

Tempting offer, but that pie's not going ANYWHERE!!

Snow cream rocks!! It's (I think) snow, vanilla, and milk. It's like vanilla ice cream, but lighter and much more delicate. So dadgum good!

Well...I'm pretty sure I have some plain creamer which should tide me over for a while. We got the icky coffee creamerr on sale, so it won't hurt me too bad to dump it. What stinks the most is that we got 2 bottles of it (DH takes his own creamer to work and I wanted a fun creamer at home). I might give the icky creamer one more shot and try it in non-flavored coffee. Maybe it wouldn't be so overwhelming that way...

Wow!! Congrats on your coming Starbuck's! We have a mall with 4 Starbucks in it - nope, not kidding at all! 2 freestanding ones, 1 in a Target, and 1 in a Barnes & Nobles. Make sure you try the White Chocolate Mocha and the Peppermint Mocha! Soooo goooood!

Thank you! I am addicted to Caramel Macchiatos, but right now I'm enjoying the pumpkin spice while they last... I will definitely try the ones you mentioned! Thanks!

Okay, I am on the hunt for snow cream. I must find it.

The creamer might not be quite so bad by itself in the coffee. It's just kind of eh. Is that a word? Eh?

The Starbucks I go to has Eggnog, too! I just haven't been brave enough to try it yet...

Hey, Michele! In fact, we have met at Starbuck's and at Gloria Jean's.
I love SB's pepermint mocha, too. I had one the other day. There is one right near where I work and I swear that it exerts some kind of force that tries to pull me in!
Gloria Jean's is a coffee place, usually in malls. I worked there for a bit. The owner encouraged us to try everything, so when there was some thing left in the steamer or blender, we got a little cup and finished it off. Heavenly! Their Pumkpin Spice Latte is the best...pumpkin spice toddy, steamed milk, and white cocoa powder, topped with whipped cr and cinnamon. Mmmm!

Yes we certainly have, haven't we? It's been way too long. I should drive down to meet you sometime. It's not that far.

I agree. GJ's Pumpkin Spice is the best.

Here's a picture to work with!

I agree...mostly eh. Underwhelming.

I haven't tried the eggnog at our Starbucks, either...I get sucked into my 2 flavors I know I like a lot and flip between them.

Me too! We are creatures of habit, aren't we?

 

[JoBird]

I thought about all of ya'll today as I was sipping my White chocolate Peppermint Mocha from Starbucks...

Anyone gotten any good creamer lately???


JO

 

[Tazicket]

Ack! That sounds sooo good!!!! Where's that drooling smilie....

I went to Target the other day and they were handing out free samples of Peppermint Mochas from the Starbuck's in the store.

No fabulous coffee creamer yet (I haven't even been brave enough to try the other one again!).

BUT we did have our first eggnog of the season the other night!!

Have you tried it yet? I did, and it was YUMMY!

Really?! Ooooh! We have an outdoor mall near us and we like to walk around at night and sip Starbuck's when it gets cool like this. I might have to grab one of those next time we do that!

 

[JoBird]

Can I just say that I was completely naughty today and skipped lunch totally, just so I could order said White Chocolate Peppermint Mocha!!!???

Eh, () who needs lunch when you could have Starbuck's???

That is listed on the food groups pyramid, isn't it???




Fruits, grains, meats, AND STARBUCKS...

I have done that, too. Oh yeah.... Starbucks is definitely a food group! Especially when you add a toffee almond bar (preferably heated).

Okay, Mama, you've GOT to stop. Now I'm looking at dinner and imagining it's a Starbuck's cup of coffee.

I did buy a can of Redi_whip at the store the other day and I have been having a grand old time in the mornings with my coffee.

Keeping that "SCCCCWWWWHHHHHH" sound quiet is hard at 5AM.

Does dinner look like this?

I'm planning a Starbucks trip right now.... Surely there's some reason I need to get out of the house.

I can just imagine being fast asleep and hearing "SSCCCCWWWWHHHH!"

Enjoy that Starbucks! There is one in the plaza where I work. Too easy to stop. I had a cinnamon dolce yesterday, a pep mocha a few days before that. Yum. I am creating Starbucks coffee hounds, too. Ds loves the pep mocha, but of course I make him order a mint hot choc. He is only 7!
