I can hear my doctor, who is trying to keep me from diabetes and other health issues now — “Do you KNOW how many carbs are in that mocha and muffin?!” Well, yes, actually, I do, but my car has been sick, my schedule’s all messed up, I needed breakfast, I was late, I wanted comfort food and the coffee shop’s right next to my office.
And you have to admit, it IS a pretty muffin!
Hi Rommily,
Thank you so much for your lovely comment.
Now this is very lax of me as I didn’t realise in the forefront of my brain that you have a blog. I can see I’ll have lots of catching up to do
It was a bit of a risky investment but I had that blind determination on that we artists get sometimes when it comes to “materials” and I adopted the phrase for this month to be… “where there’s a will there’s a relative”… opps no I mean “way” (jk). I just hope that I can sell prints of things to cover that costs!! Actually though it’s cheaper on inks than my old A4 so that’s a bonus.
lovely to hear from you
all the best

Hey dear
I didn’t realize you had moved over to a blog. My bad! I’ll subscribe to your RSS feed.
Did you know that several coffee places now have a big array of sugar-free syrups? Starbucks used to have mocha/chocolate, but have since nixed it for some stupid reason. We get lattes from them with the SF syrups and it’s almost as good as a super carbo one. I can’t remember if they have a nutty kind, but the nutty ones are good (like almond or hazelnut).
Caribou has a new “Northern Lite” line which is a skinny latte with sugar-free syrup. I got the Turtle and it tasted pretty frickin’ sweet!!!

Lisa – Cool. I usually do get the sugar free stuff.. but it had been SUCH a week! It was the muffin that really tipped me over the scales.
