Simple Pleasures: Starbucks Offers 50 Percent Off Drinks

I hadn't enjoyed a caramel frappuccino in more than a year. I'd avoided the delicious drink because of its cost and calorie count. Well, there is nothing I can do about the calories. But Starbucks addresses the price tag issue with its Happy Hour campaign that offers 50% off drinks from 3-5 p.m. daily.

So instead of paying $4-plus for a grande frap, I pay a little more than $2. That's a reasonable toll for a little slice of heaven during the day. Today is the last day of the campaign, which started around May 1. So I'll be sure to get my other favorite frap flavor, strawberries and cream, before 5 p.m.

How about you?

Simple Pleasures: A Cup of Coffee

Some days this is all that is needed. Today is one of the those days. Don't forget to enjoy the simple pleasures: Setting aside alone time for yourself.
This cup of Joe and the solace drinking it brought me was what I needed apparently.
What do you do when things get a bit hairy or hectic?

Forgive Me. I'm Back Though

 Good afternoon:
  First, let me apologizing for being away so long. I had a few projects I had to finish, taking time away from this blog. But I continued to cook and try different things so I have lots to share. And I'm so excited because I've "found" or "rediscovered" some simple pleasures!
  Stay tuned. The first to come shortly will be on oatmeal. Oh don't frown. It's a treat -- at least it was for me, and I hope it will be for you.
