Slideshow

I haven't been able to post very many recent photos on the blog, so I thought I would experiment with a slideshow. Click HERE. (It's 3 minutes or so...)

Frappuccino PS

By the way, I've been using half-and-half instead of plain milk, and I'm sure that's making a nice, creamy, fatty difference. :)

The Perfect Frappuccino

Somehow over the last few months I've gotten addicted to Starbucks frappuccinos. I don't really know how -- I don't even drink coffee. But every time I drive by a Starbucks now I think, "Yum! Frappuccino!"

While we were in Hawaii I got to play with a great blender in our condo, and made smoothies every morning. So last week I finally broke down and splurged on a nice blender.

The last piece of the puzzle was to find the perfect recipe, so my addiction wouldn't cost me 4 bucks a pop! After a little surfing online, here is the recipe I found. I didn't even bother with measuring, I just tossed everything in and it came out perfectly. You HAVE to try this...

Ingredients
1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons chocolate syrup
1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon sugar
1/3 cup strong coffee
1 cup ice

Directions
1 In a blender, combine everything but the ice, and blend until sugar has dissolved.
2 Add ice and blend until smooth (sometimes you will need a bit more ice).
