In Search Of. . . Something New: Starbucks Secret Menu Wednesday 1

In Search of. . . Something New: Starbucks Secret Menu Wednesday

 So. . . with my new IPhone I went a little app crazy at first. Now, I think I paired it down tolerably well to the essentials: Pinterest, G-Mail, Facebook, but among these things suddenly appeared the Starbucks Secret Menu. I decided to put this app to the use of the blogging world.

 

Welcome to Starbucks Secret Menu Wednesday

 

This Wednesday we will test the Butter beer Frappuccino.

 

I had spent the week watching, or rather listening to the Harry Potter movie series with my roommate. As I scrolled through my Starbucks Secret Menu deciding what new thing to try, I found the butter beer Frap. It was a sign. I had to do it.

 

Here it is too. All nice and pretty.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now the one in the picture on the secret menu looks like a grande. Since it’s always been more cost effective to me to order the venti, I got a venti. After I added all the shots, it was kind of expensive.

   

So to get this deliciousness in you, here’s your order:

 

• Crème Frappuccino base
• Add 3 pumps of caramel syrup— 4 if you get a venti
• Add 3 pumps of toffee nut syrup—again, 4 if you get a venti.
• Then top with a caramel drizzle.
• I added an extra shot of espresso

 

 

So much goodness…

soo many much calories. . . many much calories.

 

 

So completely worth it.

 

 

Anyway, it’s amazing. You should try it and tell me what you think.

As always,

In Search of . . . Written Words: Book update

In Search of. . . Written Words
Time for a book update. I hadn't imagined reading this fast, but I have no life.

1. Harry potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, J.K. Rowling. Pretty much the movie exactly. Although, I did have to read the entire series once I started. Stupid inability to finish things.

2. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, J.K. Rowling. Nothing like the movie really. They changed several elements, but it's my favorite book and movie. Also, Rowling does a really good job of retelling events that happened in previous books with in the book you're reading.

3. "Little Match Girl", Hans Christian Andersen. Most of us know the story of the little girl trying to sell matches on Christmas night.

4. "Rapunzel", Brothers Grimm. If you want a detailed story of it, go here.

5. "The Raven", Edgar Allen Poe. This is my favorite poem. I love Poe's use of cadence and rhythm.

6. Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare. Tragedy of pre-teens in love, who do stupid things
because they are only 13 and 18.

7. A Room of One's Own, Virginia Woolf. More stream of conscious, and it makes me want to cry. I had no earthly clue what was going on in this stupid essay.


As Always,
