Ambidextrous Coffee Drinker

Hmm, I seem to make a lot of images relating to coffee, probably because I love it so.  I have given it up on occasion, but that heady aroma!  It's so enticing.  I try to resist, but then I'm slowly drawn back into caffeine addiction and it's world of oily, dark brown beans once again.

Really, it's just another art form, no?  The different types of beans, how soil and rain affect it, the temperature and pressure used to extract the black liquid from the grounds, the beauty of the latte design.  There's so much pleasure in it, why would ,I or the other billion people who drink it, want to deprive ourselves?  We don't. (-;  Nor would this ambidextrous coffee drinker.

Day 295. Pumpkin Spice Latte on a Budget - SOLD

Maggie, trying to stick to a budget, read about a technique Martha Stewart used to create a less expensive pumpkin spice latte than that of a popular chain.  "Why, this is brilliant," Maggie thought.  "Martha is never wrong!"  Plus, both their names started with the same letter so that had to mean something.

Maggie assembled all her ingredients and got to work.  Unfortunately, her boyfriend, Walter came in and cast doubt on the process.  Maggie was convinced that his negativity made her experiment go wrong.

Walter:  "I really don't think that's going to work."

Maggie: "Martha Stewart says as long as I use a "pie" pumpkin, this will taste just like a pumpkin spice latte at a fraction of the cost."

Walter (to himself):   "Some things really shouldn't be economized."
