Rainy Day Latte

Gray ceramic mug filled with frothy pink beverage on a granite countertop

Albuquerque has been getting an unusual amount of rain this fall. In September, we received 4.5 inches which is 3.3 inches above average. Our total for the year is an inch above average. In a desert, this is a big deal 🙂 The flowers in my yard that wilted all summer because of heat and drought are making my yard look like spring in November. Last night we got more rain, and the clouds are hanging around with possible intentions of more. But they might just be teasing us and will blow on at any minute.

To celebrate the rain, I offer my rainy day latte. I am currently using a half-caff blend but feel free to use your favorite full caff or decaff.

Rainy Day Latte

2 shots of espresso
1 teaspoon of Vanilla extract (Mine is homemade by my niece!)
2 teaspoons sugar
1 cup steamed milk

Stir together espresso, vanilla and sugar. Pour in steamed milk adding art if you have mad barista skills 🙂

Enjoy!

Elegant Treat

This weekend my lover made an elegant treat for me that I wanted to be sure to pass on to you: red sparkling wine over berries. Though the sparkling wine is good, the best part is eating the berries when the drink is gone. Delicious and romantic!
