So Cool!

July 16, 2010

Some may call it vanity. Some may even say it is a middle age thing. I don’t know what has gotten into me! I am wanting up my “Cool Factor.” Maybe it’s this 100+ degree weather we are having that has gotten me wanting to be cooler! Whatever the motive behind this need, I want to be cool and stay cool!

On a recent “Girls Night Out,” we went to Starbucks. It is way too hot for my normal hot chocolate so I decided to try a Frappe. I am not much of a coffee drinker..Mark would say I’m not even in the category of a coffee drinker.. I don’t touch the stuff. But, it was hot outside and the cold chocolate coffee mixer was beckoning me to try it. Well, I’m sold!

Last night, I was thinking about how I could make my own Frappes at home. And guess what I found???? Mr. Coffee has a whole website dedicated to making Frappes!! I squealed with pure joy!! I can’t imagine what the caffeine intake is going to do to me and those whom I live with!! He He He!! Can’t wait to try it!! In fact, I didn’t realize that there are so many varieties! I will have to make a favorites list!!

So what are you waiting for??? Go visit Mr. Coffee and be cool!!

Now if you want to use soy milk instead of regular milk…. here’s a recipe for you!!

1 cup coffee (expresso preferably)

1/2 cup soy milk

1 tablespoon sugar

2-3 tablespoon chocolate syrup (optional for mocha)

ice cubes

God Bless…
