It’s Back! Must be Fall, Y’all

 
Marc works limited part time at Home Depot.  When he lost his job last February because of his disability we knew that his 25 year career in the jewelry industry was over.  Think about it, luxury jewelers do not hire wheelchair bound sales people.  In 25 years we only knew of one.   Since many stores […]

Starbucks Raspberry Thumbprint Scone

 
Marc and I had a short coffee date this afternoon after our lovely morning at the VA which lead to a lovely afternoon at the Va if you know what I mean.

Starbucks Ethiopia Sidamo

I am sitting here this morning absolutely bleary eyed, hoping that the caffeine will soon jump start the gray matter.
Do you know that the baristas at our Starbucks don’t even know when they are closing? It seems very unfair to me..and then I wonder…is it an angle? I mean, are they hoping that by announcing […]

Will the Demise of Starbucks Bring the Rise of Private Coffee Bars?

 
So, as I said Saturday, Starbucks is losing money and is set to close 600 stores across the country.
Let’s chat about what that means, shall we? :)
I am thrilled at the news, personally.  Not because I want to see the company go under but I see in Starbucks that same shark-like business practices that I […]

I think this caramel frappuccino is better than the original. Let me know what you think. :)

McDonalds in  Seattle has parried the Starbucks’ Pikes Place thrust, with some fancy footwork and Free lattes on fridays in the Seattle […]

Starbucks New Pikes Place Roast

 
Image:Morguefile 
I wondered what they meant by an everyday coffee,  so when I went to Starbucks tonight I asked Chris, who is the absolutely coolest barista in the universe.
You can get it everyday..It will be consistently brewed everyday starting at something like ten o clock.

Image:Morguefile
Starting today at nine a.m. Pacific time (noon Eastern), Starbucks will be introducing its new roast, Pikes Place.
The new coffee is named after the location of the first store that Starbucks opened in 1971, and will be the first Starbucks coffee advertise being ethically traded and sourced.
