Dear Worky McWorkerson. I skimmed through most of your post but what stuck with me was 'raspberry latte' sung to the tune of Raspberry Beret'. Thanks. Very. Much.
Do you know when I saw this email come in, on my phone and in an inappropriate place, I totally busted up laughing and imagining Tana and Lisa (wacky girls from my dorm in the fall of 1984 who used to run up and down the hall singing that at the top of their clove-cigarette-ridden lungs) singing that. Ah, 1984.
Whoa. That bad nativity thingy is fascinating......I wonder what the Chinese think when they're churning them all out???
The glass thingy was gross. If I ever get a job where I have to travel I shall take plastic cups everywhere with me!
And I believe in Exchange Server Gods. Any of my colleagues will tell you we are cursed!
And - about the Raspberry latte - how do you do that? I am so getting into these milder, flavored coffees since I was in the US last month, and since my stomach seems not to like my beloved expressos any longer, and Spain is so behind on these.
I have been thinking about your comment every morning (and sometimes every evening too) since you wrote that. Why do you come to mind? As I'm making my morning coffee, I think, WHY haven't I answered IM yet?!
So... 1. good point on the Chinese! 2. yes, totally gross. I'm taking plastic on my next trip, because I have often been suspicious about the glasses in the hotel I stay in in NJ

Thank you! I was thinking about this this morning when I made my vanilla latter from a packet! It's so-so (and the only type available here right now), and as it's my first coffee in days I enjoyed. I like lots of froth too (do you know there are still places here where they pump squirty cream on top of cafe con leche and call it cappuchino **shudder**).
I think we can get the syrups in the English supermarket, they would be the same ones they sell for putting on ice cream I think! Now I am getting excited!
oh yay! I hope you are able to make/find something you like!
When my SIL lived in Switzerland and before they had a machine that would froth milk, she found one of these. I saw them there and in Germany for many years before they were available in the US. Anyway, she'd microwave some milk in a cup, and then use this little battery-operated frother. That's how we started making our own lattes at home. I have to tell you they were pretty good!
It most certainly was not czukie who sent the nativity blog. She's no fun at all. It was me...the source of all fun. I'm surprised you didn't remember that.
