Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
I'm assuming that you didn't take the day off from work to run half-naked through the streets of your neighborhood in celebration of Mardi Gras, which probably means you didn't start your day with Hurricanes and Brandy Milk Punches at 7 AM.
Starting the day with cafe au lait -- French for "coffee with milk" -- is a better option. It's not a latte. Cafe au lait is drip coffee with hot milk. After years and years of drinking coffee black -- no sugar, no cream, no love, baby -- I conceded to trying coffee with milk because I "had to" when I was at Cafe du Monde last month. I have to say, I have been drinking it this way at home for the last month since I've been back.
Oh, okay, so I'm using soy instead of regular milk.

Besides, the chicory and the milk blances the acid of coffee - better for your tummy.
Happy Mardi Gras, Ya'll

Happy Mardi Gras!

After a good night of drinking, nothing tasted better that an iced coffee. A cafe au lait would have been good too, but I love iced coffee.
I ended up writing a story about it at WLL- check it out! http://www.wholelattelove.com/articles/iced_coffee_bayou.cfm
