During the end of my high school days and during college, I started drinking coffee. Well not coffee, but mochas which contain espresso. The taste of coffee didn’t really excite me, however with a little or a lot of chocolate it made it quite tasty. I tend to be a creature of habit, but L likes to try new things. A couple of months ago, I decided I wanted to try a different product when I went to Starbucks.** I tried a latte once, but I didn’t think it had much flavor. However, I thought that if I got a flavored latte, maybe it would be what I was looking for. I tried a vanilla latte, and really liked it. I also felt a little more mature as well being that mochas are for young people. Tonight, however, while L and I were deciding which latte we wanted, we decided on a cinnamon dolce latte, however the store ran out of the regular flavor and only had it in sugar free. So I decided to go crazy and try a totally different item. I tried a Caramel Macchiato, it was fantastic.
If I never met L, I probably would be drinking mochas still because I would be unaware of the joy of new discoveries. I am grateful that L is in my life because I would not be nearly as happy without her.
**The reason why we’ve been going to Starbucks a lot more recently is because we have an influx of gift cards.
Derek’s Food Thoughts
What are your favorite foods?
For me, I like…
#1 Rib-eye
#2 Lamb chops
#3 Sea Bass
The first two are easy to describe how I like them prepared. I just need salt and pepper on my rib-eye i.e. Flemings or Outback. For lamb chops, I am not too sure how they prepare it. Probably salt, pepper, and then the famous mint sauce. For sea bass, I am not too sure. I like Chilean sea bass prepared in a fancy American way. However, I also like black bass prepared at Chinese restaurants i.e. soy sauce and green onion.

My favorite “show” is college football, but I also like Rachael Ray. Her “$40 a Day” show is like a travel show AND a food show all in one. In addition, she has cute sayings. I like the shows where she goes to U.S. or Canadian locations, because I feel like I can go there. The European ones, I mostly likely won’t go to.
