He had the Salted Caramel Martini at The Dilletante on Capitol Hill when we went not too long ago with TW and TG. I stuck with the Chocolate Ephemere Martini. Oh man! Let's go back!

Salted Caramels
The "salted caramel" flavor seems to be very big right now. B loves the flavor combo -- I'm OK with it. This is a pic of the salted caramels at Purple that he loves. They arrive at the table cool (from the frig/freezer), and they are delicious.

My Grandma's Molasses Cookies
For the benefit of my friend TW, I am posting this pic I took of some molasses cookies I made. Although she doesn't care for the cookie (who COULDN'T???), her husband TG loves them. What irritates TW is how perfectly round and identical they all turn out. I have tried to convince her it really isn't anything I'm doing -- they just turn out that way.
And to all the siblings... YUM!! Grandma's Molasses Cookies!!! (And next to them, undercooked peanut butter cookies with Hershey's kisses in them -- undercooked by accident, but they still tasted good!)

We love our coffee!
I never really used to like coffee much. In the "olden" days, I might have made it if we had company, but others in the house didn't like it, so it definitely wasn't a daily sustenance item.
NOW... things are quite different. It wouldn't be a stretch to say that B and I are addicted. Well, he is FAR more addicted than I am, but I'm not too far behind him. I am a "grande non-fat one sweet & lo extra-hot no whip no foam mocha" girl and he is a "triple venti non fat three sweet & lo latte" (when we stop at Starbucks).
We have several different ways of making coffee at home (regular Mr. Coffee type, a French press, and others), but it is when we go out that we really enjoy the coffee we find. Purple Cafe, one of our fave places to go, serves Caffé Vitta, which I think is B's favorite. Recently we trekked to Fremont to stop at their cafe for a Sunday morning treat.
