5 Bonus Stars with Starbucks

Starbucks Menu, Reviews, Photos, Location and Info - Zomato Normally I wouldn't have bought this combo from Starbucks except they were giving out 5 bonus stars, which goes a long way toward keeping my Gold Card status.

The offer (good Feb-12 to Feb-14) is: "Pair your handcrafted Mocha beverage with any cookie, and earn Bonus Stars on top."

Cookies are a couple of dollars for a big but thin cookie. I went with the ToffeeDoodle.
For mocha, I asked which one qualified and one person at the counter said "any", and the other suggested peppermint. Upsell? Anyway, I went with peppermint and they automatically placed the order for a grande.

TIPS: Ask for extra hot. Cool whipped cream on top (with chocolate sprinkles) can really cool down your drink, which is sort of like a weak hot chocolate with coffee flavour.

The cookie was thin but broad (and still not worth even $1), and very chewy. Also quite sweet, enough to give a faint burning sensation (the sort you can get with something too sugary) at the back of the throat.

Overall, good for stars, but sub-par in taste and value.

Meet Melissa Gaines and her blurry sexy pics

Oh boy! I had no sooner finished posting about the lovely Taylor Burch responding to my personals ad on Craigslist when Melissa Gaines (e-mailing from erikmcclure858@yahoo.com) mailed me a couple more pictures of her lithe body and selling her profile on the same looks-like-a-phishing-scam site (http://craigslistsafe.net/profiles/melx3/). One of them was an NSFW naked-breasts pic which I haven't posted here (sorry -- but honestly, nothing to write home about, especially with the serious bikini tan lines).

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 3

A picture from my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. I can't remember why I had this couple in the picture, but I do vaguely remember this to be in London, on the first official day of the tour group getting together. Their insistence on my helping them take a picture caused the three of us to be late getting back to the bus. The local tour guide had a "rule" about lateness, that we had to buy chocolate to share with everyone. As it turned out, later in the trip, on at least two occasions, we were stuck on the highway on either a long commute or a traffic jam, and I had chocolate and chocolate-covered marzipan to share. About the chocolate-covered marzipan -- Apparently we were in Austria just as they were celebrating Mozart's birthday with special marzipans wrapped in foil with the famous composer's picture. I'm pretty sure it was Mirabell Mozartkugeln . Anyway, there were enough to go around the en

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 10

The last of my pictures (at least the ones that survived the cheesy disposable cameras) from my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. Below is the obligatory group photo. Not sure everyone's in it, actually. I'm pretty sure this one was taken by the tour director, Mike Scrimshire as I'm in the back row, on the right side.
