oh, the latte
shokufeh is not alone...
the taste lingers in the back of my throat, willing me to drink more.
"just one more sip, one more" calls my mouth.
i bring the paper cup with the 60% post-consumer recycled fiber insulating sleeve to my lips. i tip it back into my mouth and my throat is satiated. quickly, i run my tongue along the edge of the plastic lid, so as not to lose any of the precious beverage.
ahhh, the starbuck's vanilla latte, so satisfying.
suddenly, my throat calls out..."just one more sip, one more. please!"
and so it begins again.

dude! thats totally my drink. I used to be a frilly frappucino type girl... but this summer it's been all about the Vanilla latte.
I only get grande each time because I know venti will be just a touch too much caffeine/sugar... but oh man does it go tooooo quickly. Yesterday I practically licked each ice cube just to get the very last drops.
I have another summer espresso drink, and was going to blog about my two obsessions...and may still but perhaps I'll wait

That sounds so delicious. I wish I could be like you guys -- my summer drink is boring: water.

oh mojan, don't come to the dark side. stay where you are. water is good for you, cheap and wonderful. starbucks is a manifestation of the devil.

I am proud to sponsor the devil!
I'm telling you: try the peet's latte with a tablespoon of honey. That's the best overall. But for summertime, I'm still about the Americano. But I'll give the vanilla latte a try. I'm just skeptical slightly about that much milk on top of ice. But I'll try it!

see, i'm still not into the iced latte. i find that the colder the drink gets, the more it tastes like coffee and less like manna from heaven.

Hilarious! Well then, we're approaching heaven from 2 different ends of the field.
Today my drink of choice was the Freddo from Peet's. Less sweet than a frapp, but is still just ....mmm.....

Under your influence, I decided to try this so called manna. I am sorry to say that the vanilla latte was not my cup of java. It is very similar to a plain latte with sugar, except that it has an aftertaste, and makes my tongue feel funny. But I have satisfied my curiousity.
