Being that there isn’t any really good coffee available on my side of the pond, I end up getting my early-morning-jumpstart-the-functionality coffee at the Starschmuck’s at the ferry dock. It’s not great, but it’s consistent, and that’s KEY first thing in the morning. Most mornings it’s the same group of people, shuffling along, mumbling their orders, and all is fine. Today, however, I hear LOUDLY from someone two or three people in line behind me reply to the person taking orders down the line:
“I need a venti nonfat breve caramel macchiato*” Um…. yeah. I’m sure they’ll get RIGHT on that, honey.
At least it was good for a (well stifled) giggle.
*If you need a glossary of terms to make this REALLY amusing, start here.

Nonfat breve, eh? They do sell fat-free half-n-half here, I wonder if that’s what the person was asking for. So gross.
The coffee shop down the street from my house (the one adjacent to the yarn shop!) makes steamers with heavy cream. I can’t even imagine how gross that would be, but the guy who runs it talks about them with stars in his eyes. Bleh.

Marilyn’s Yarns in Bellingham is having a 50% off sale - they are closing at the end of the month. Just a FYI.
