It's art. It's chocolate. It's mine.

Just so we're clear here. The drink referred to on this blog is Coffee.

Mine, at home, do not look this pretty. But today I was out with my girlfriends.

This double mocha latte is courtesy of Kirk at Lindaman's. My husband and I have enjoyed this restaurant since before we were married in 1985. (In the interests of full disclosure, my youngest child is now a dishwasher here. He got the job himself, I had nothing to do with it. Actually, I had never even taken him her to eat.)

Possibly my favorite drink here is a caffee corretto known as the Triumvirate.

The hot drink contains espresso, bailey's, crème de menthe, kahlua, spiced chocolate and half n half. This is not a joke.

A Mexican, an Irishman and a Frenchman walked into a very busy Italian bistro. They proceeded to order what each described as their own country's finest coffee libation. Too busy to accommodate the attention to detail each drink required, the barista mingled three as one.

Straight off the menu. I kid you not.

Notice the first ingredient is espresso. So, yes. It qualifies as coffee.
