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!

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...

Uhhhh... Where Have I been?

 So it hasn't been that long- but I did mention that I wanted to keep this more of a daily-ish blog than I have in years past... and my last post was the  4th and today was the 11th. Did I give up on my resolutions already?  No/Sort of... sooo basically I was kind of considering the real start of the new year January 5th... I was very busy with work things up until the 4th... the 4th was the big work event that I had to do... and then after that I could focus on whatever I wanted to focus on... and my blogs were going to be the number 1 thing that I focused on for sure... I might miss a few days... but surely I'd do something for this blog right on the 5th after the big work thing was done... so just leading up to that as long as I post something- everything is good right?  Nope- I realized my room design... needed some refreshing. And then one project turned into several projects and then that took a few days... I think I started on doing stuff on Wednesday of last ...

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...
