They have a skinny mocha at Starbucks now. This involves sugar-free chocolate. I understood that the reason they didn't have it before is because it is impossible to make sugar-free chocolate that does not taste HIDEOUS. But it's back, so I thought hey, maybe they found some amazing new SF chocolate.

Nope. Nasty. The baristas were like "Yeah, it's

So I cannot have dairy or soy (or wheat, but that doesn't matter for Starbucks) because of the baby, so I've had to get creative with my coffee drinking at home (needing rice or almond milk as a base). I pretty much only like Peppermint Mochas because I hate the taste of coffee, but drinking a ton of soda wasn't really healthy.

If you want to make a tasty but low sugar mocha, use cocoa powder and then just a tiny bit of sugar (seriously, I use like a 1/4 teaspoon). As long as you have a syrup which will taste sweet, you won't need it. It will taste more dark chocolately, but I think it's really good.

Yay, congratulations on the tattoo, that's awesome!

I still haven't seen RuPaul's Drag Race (must check out netflix), but I have a friend who has started performing in local competitions so I went to support him - it was so awesome. If you can find one in your town definitely check it out. And apparently the person who hosted the night I went dates someone who was big on RuPaul's Drag Race second year? Or something? See, this is why I need to watch the show.
