    Ode to the Eggnog Latte

    The second week of November
    Chill breezes whip the ground
    But I notice not the breezes for
    The eggnog latte returns to town

    This creamy mead of Starbucks fame
    With nutmeg dust atop its foam
    The melodious blast of the frother's hiss
    Heralds that I am come home

    Embrace the silky, caffeine bite
    That warms you deep within
    And lifts my autumn spirits like
    No other legal sin

    The taste of eggnog, rich and sweet
    Evokes every Christmas tree
    But alas, my love, we'll no longer meet
    Until you come sugar-free...

              Do they still make it? Where can I get it? I've got the espresso machine at home, so we have the technology (we can make it better!), but I need the ingredients. Please advise, and thanks!

                          I figure, eggnog syrup, with heavy cream in the frother and then added to the coffee...except I am off of coffee for my (SUCCESSFUL!!!) Slow Losers Challenge.. Maybe lattes are an exception! They really are more of a dessert than a coffee, and I could make it with decaf. Maybe with a slice of low carb cheesecake? Ok, I'd better stop now.

                              That was great, tried to gie you some rep but

                              sigh. Thanks for the post though, made me smile =)

                                  Ha ha -thank you so much Grant. I am not looking at a raise or promotion any time soon (I am a contractor - the job is what it is), but getting the kudos from the board really kinda makes my day. Hence my apparent ubiquitous presence here.

                                  Have a great weekend.
