Argh! The gingerbread lattes are the best! I totally overdosed on them when I was in the States last December. Alas, I don't think they will return to NZ...Christmas is in summer here, and the gingerbread doesn't have the same seasonal appeal. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Just when I was thinking about not indulging myself in fatty snacks anymore...

OMFG! I haven't been to a Starbucks since they ran out of the pumpkin spice syrup. I had broken my $5 a day habit and replaced it with $1 coffee from the local conv. store/gas station.

Thanks! How am I supposed to work that back into my budget!???

Guess it'll have to be a Friday treat - or maybe a Monday morning treat. But darn- it's only Tuesday... okay - I'll have one on Wednesday and then only once a week after. That's workable.. right right. I"m already jones-ing for it. Damn you all!

Steph, thank you so much for your advance research! I wouldn't want any of us to have to try them all if they're not good.

Yes, it's a burden to eat so many baked goods, but I shall gladly bear it for the good of all.

Have you tried Dryer's Pumpkin Ice Cream?! Truly yummy pumpkiny pie-ness... Like eating a very cold pumpkin pie. Turns out it's a nice alternative to spending $5 at Starbucks when I can suppletment that with a scoop of ice cream now and then. Yummmm

Update - Starbucks has a Maple Coffeecake Muffin and Maple Macchiatto. At least they do in my neck of the woods. Check it out if you like maple syrup.

maple machiatto.... that does sound scrumptious!

Not Afraid · 10-20-2005, 11:46 AM

Uh oh. Maple. I'm going to lose my husband to Starbucks. He loves the Maple scones.
