Day #19

Well, today is Friday!  TGIF! 

Today's special was the Almond Joy Mocha.  Okay... I've decided that there's no possible way to go wrong with a candy bar inspired Mocha.  At first, I was a little skeptical, as I have never really enjoyed the flavor or texture of coconut. 

Really, I must learn to trust the gals of Grounds Central.  They are true craftsmen (women) of the espresso trade. 

Sigh!  I absolutely LOVE this deal! 

Until tomorrow..........

Day #18

So, Thursday, a sweet girl friend of mine picked up one of my normal carpool kids (school carpool).  As a 'thank you', I decided to treat her to a coffee from Grounds Central.... As luck would have it, as I pulled into Grounds Central, her husband was at the other window!

Needless to say, I ordered two, Elaine Specials... which I discovered were Mexican Mochas!  LOL!  It was, of course, delicious!  I've ordered them before.  Cinnamon, almond and mocha.  Can't go wrong with that combination!

Thanks, Elaine... what a fun coffee!  :) 

Day #17

Wednesday was "Wired Wednesday" at Grounds Central ... an extra FREE shot of espresso in your drink.  Oh yeah!  I needed that!

I asked the barista, Jen to make me her favorite drink.  She made me a Carmel Silk ... Ohhhhhh!  It was VERY creamy and VERY smooth and VERY silky!  Yumm.!

BTW, a Carmel Silk is a breve white mocha with carmel sauce. 

Until tomorrow....

Day #16

So... Today is "tight-wad Tuesday" at Grounds Central.
Pretty cool deal - as you can get a Latte or a Mocha for under $1.50.

I previewed Thursday's special - A drink called "Sweet Reflection"
It was a White Chocolate, English Toffee drink.
During the short wait for my personalized coffee, I learned that this
specific drink was the owner's Mom's favorite.

After sampling it, I can understand why. It was smooth and nutty. Not too sweet.

I love just asking the girls at Grounds Central to surprise me with something new.
They always give me something different, and it's always yummy!

Until tomorrow......

Day #15

So, today I went for the Daily Special -
It just sounded too good to pass up!

One of my favorite candies are the peanut butter M& M's.
Today's flavor special was Peanut Butter Mocha.

Sigh! I might need to repeat this one SOON!

Until tomorrow....

Day #12 (and #13 and #14)

Shhhh! I missed a day! Don't tell! Friday (yesterday), I missed my opportunity to go to Grounds Central and I MISSED A DAY! Aaarrgghhh!

To top it off... I will miss Saturday (Day #13) AND Sunday (Day #14) ... but for good cause. I am in Sequim, WA. Celebrating Easter with my in-laws.

But, Monday morning, bright and early, I will be back at Grounds Central for a new cup 'o coffee. What flavor will I pick?? I have no idea right now...

Day # 11

Happy Thursday! Today was double punch day at the Coffee Shop.
The sky was BLUE.. and we had hardly any rain!
I broke with my standard - mocha flavored coffee drink
and went for a Vanilla Spice Chai.
It was a very yummy hot drink.
Just the smell made my mouth water!
I think I need to explore the other flavors of Chai.
Until tomorrow!
