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!

He's even experimented with making his own to save the money when we're out

Tree Top apple cider and some sort of caramel syrup seems to do the trick.

I'm personally a peppermint hot chocolate kind of girl, but I make my own all the time now. I like my own proportions better, though I'll buy one while I'm out too.

I've sampled the new pastries: the pumpkin cream cheese muffin, autumn leaf cookie and autumn green apple loaf. I think the muffin is the best.

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.
