Scribbles about Food: Ranking of Starbucks Holiday Lattes

This is my ranking of the Holiday Beverages... I feel like my answers may be controversial... but this is what I think.

7) Salted Caramel- Not gonna lie, this used to be wayyy higher on the list, but I had it with one of their chocolate brownies one time... and it was just wayyyy too much. I'm not one that thinks things are too sweet or chocolatey or rich... but this was wayyy wayyy too much. It made me a little sick. I don't think I can have the Salted Caramel Mocha or hot chocolate again... but I want to try Dunkins... lol.

 6) Peppermint Mocha- Good but I really have to be in the mood for this one. White mocha peppermint is really good too. I just don't usually pick this one.

 5) Caramel Brulee -This is a really good and flavorful flavor. Its a little more flavorful than the Chestnut or the Gingerbread... but its just like a regular Caramel Latte with some flakeys on top. It loses some points for not being Christmasy enough.

 4) Chestnut Praline- I was so impressed with the deliciousness of this! For a new flavor, this is quickly becoming one of my favorites. Its really good. Different from the other flavors, a really nice christmasy drink.

 3) Gingerbread Latte- Delicious delicious delicious. I love Gingerbread cookies... I'm a bit of a stickler with Gingerbread Lattes but this one is quite delicious. Very gingerbready, really nice.

 2) Pumpkin Spice Latte- Sooo soo good! I used to think I liked the gingerbread more, but its hard to beat the PSL and its deliciousness. Plus its so exciting when the PSL comes out because its the start of fall which means my birthday is soon and then Christmas and its just a nice time. Love this drink!

 1) Egg Nog Latte- And my number one top pick for a holiday beverage is actually the Egg Nog Latte. For some reason this tastes more gingerbready and flavorful to me than the Gingerbread. If its made right, it tastes completely amazing. If not it isn't quite as good, but most of the time its delicious and amazing. Its just my favorite! Plus they use Hood Egg Nog which is the absolute best1

Byeee!

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...

Throwback Thursday: Crazy Ex Girlfriend Season 1

One of my favorite shows is the very underrated Crazy Ex Girlfriend... and when I say underrated I mean the ratings are bad... I'm pretty sure there is a lot of critical hype that is very real and worthy of that sort of hype... I honestly didn't watch it live at all this year until the finale... it was all in my DVR... I had lost a little bit of interest to be honest after the first episode... but I bingewatched it all in one day pretty much and it was great... but that's season 2... let's go back to Season 1. If you're only familiar with Season 2... Season 1 isn't quite as dark. It's definitely more silly than Season 2. It isn't like the darkness and the drama isn't there, it just isn't quite as dark. I have a feeling the show is getting progressively darker, and the Season 2 finale was definitely the darkest so far. The show is meant to be a different spin on a Rom-Com. The girl moves across the country for a guy that has a girlfriend alrea...
