Chai? *sigh* Aye!

My girlfriend of too-many-years-to-recall, Kathie, told me about a drink called "Chai Latte." She loves it and encouraged me to try it. She told me that it's sorta like drinking a slice of creamy pumpkin pie.

I called my favorite coffee joint on the way home. The barrista was not too busy and answered my questions.

Does it have a lot of caffeine? --Much less than regular coffee.
Does it really taste like a slice of pumpkin pie run through the bass-o-matic [mmm! that's great bass!]? --You can select vanilla or spice. Spice seems to be the favorite flavor.
Can I get curb service? --You bet!

Thumbs up, Kathie. [But, then again, she rarely steers me wrong].

Starbucks is alot more expensive than your freindly neigborhood coffee shop, but in the fall it has a pumpkin spice latte that for me is worth whatever price. I live for that time of year when they bring out the "fall flavor."

Glad you enjoyed it. Now just don't get addict . . . uh, I mean, don't choose to indulge in that treat so often that if negatively impacts your life or the lives of others. LOL

I for one frequent a Panera Bread daily.

Since I don't like coffee, I opt for their made with real milk (2%) hot chocolate that I drink year-round. (Gotta keep the WI cows in business. Those darn CA cows think they're cooler than WI ones...but I beg to differ..*grin*)

That way I get my chocolate fix, my calcium as I'm not much of a milk drinker and a great place to socialize. They all know me...there, too. Kinda nice to have a "routine."

PS - Chocolate IS a food group!!
