My Signature Drink
I am now looking forward to the Great Lakes Regional Barista Competition and with that I am creating a Signature Drink. I am attempting to emulate a cherry pie in the form of an espresso beverage. The idea is that the drink should taste like you have just taken a bite out of a piece of cherry pie and you are chasing it with coffee. I am having some issues with making the drink thick enough so that the base is not just cherry liquid and espresso. Do you have any ideas on how to make my drink thicker without just adding milk? Tell me guys... I seriously need the help.
Ding Dong the Wicked Year is Over!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone!
The holidays were good and I am hoping for a great 2008. 2007 Kind of sucked. While I did start my two awesome jobs last year, it was still a year of heart break, depression, and overall down hill battle. That being the past and a snowy and fresh new time has come, I am excited to pursue life a little differently. Gross, that sounds way too mushy.
Did you make a resolution? If you didn't but still kind of want to, what would it be? I think mine would be to pursue things a little more selfishly... does that sound horrible? I am just a little more prepared now to live life with me in mind a little more. Not to discount God or the other folks who need a little love in the world... but just a different approach to my needs and desires. I am not actually going to say that is my resolution though because I am not really into that... I guess it's just a goal. I also want to finish out my thesis and get a degree... that would be nice.
