Coffee – Evelyn Aster

Coffee Coffee Coffee

For lunch today I had coffee. Okay, I put other stuff in it, but it was really the buzz from the coffee that I needed. I sent a pic to my editor and she wanted the recipe, so I thought I would share it with all of you too!

Luscious PB Chocolate and Coffee Frappe

In a blender place an espresso shot or 1/3 cup coffee, 1/2 cup milk, 2 tablespoons of peanut butter, 1 tablespoon of chocolate syrup and 1 cup ice. Blend until smooth. Pour half into a glass, drizzle in more chocolate syup and top off with the rest of the frappe. Enjoy!

But I’ve been in a bit of a writing funk recently and thought a change of venue would do me good. So I hopped over to Michael Thomas Coffee Roaster late in the afternoon and had a mochacinno. MMMMM. Richer than just a mocha:

Why am I feeling my writing is becoming an excuse for my coffee drinking?

My Brain is Burning

How many of you are over committed right now? It seems like a May tradition for me since my school days. When I saw this coffee pic, I thought I should dedicate it to all my readers running on coffee right now. I’m really trying not to make myself a cup. I should go to bed at a decent hour and get up to work. But my schedule has slipped to more night centric again.

I’m not sure these nails are going to make the final cut for Nails for a Billionaire, but they remind me of coffee–little coffee bean jewels 🙂

Good luck getting everything done if you’re in crazy juggling mode! I wish you well.

These Boots were made for Writing

I love being fashionable when I can still be comfortable. It’s fun to wear high heels writing because I don’t have to walk around in them 🙂

I had the best cafe con leche in Albuquerque at Satellite Coffee. Unfortunately I finished the drink but not the story. More coffee for me tonight 🙂

Gilmore Girls!

But there's no way to hide your excitement.

I have something to admit. I never finished the last season of the Gilmore Girls. I know, right? But life happened. It’s still happening thank goodness 🙂 But when I’m not writing, I’ve been rewatching the witty and fun show. I’m about midway through season 2.

Is anyone else out there rewatching or looking forward to the reunion?

Done with Taxes!

Hooray! I got my taxes filed on time!

It’s still cold with fresh snow on the mountains, so I celebrated with hot drinks. I wanted to put Baileys in them, but I have a ton of work to do tonight. Toffee coffee!
