Delicious Drinkage

The past couples days i've just wanted some good drinkage. Don't get me wrong. Water is amazing drinkage. It's perfect, really. To anybody who doesn't like water... you're a doofus. No offense.

Yesterday, i made myself some butterbeer. Most recipes are for 4 servings. Who has two thumbs and likes to figure out what 1/4 of each measurement is? This girl. There was so little of everything, i had to warm it up in a measuring cup. Luckily, we just so happen to have a measuring cup that is basically a tiny saucepan. The saucepan people must have known i would be making butterbeer one day.

Butterbeer should always be served in a stein.

I used the recipe from Pastry Affair, and i totally plan on making her butterbeer cupcakes one of these days. It was delicious. Although... i don't think i'll go with apple cider vinegar next time. Despite hardly using any, it was still pretty obvious that it was in there. But. Still amahzing.

Like my stein? So do i.

Today, i decided to bust out the ol' espresso maker. This thing has always been a pain in my arse. But... i decided to give it another go. And despite my shots having zero crema (yeah, i know words like crema), they came out a hundred times better than they ever have before. And hey, that's good enough for me.

I used some of my mom's Ghirardelli white chocolate powder (shh, don't tell her) and Pioneer Woman's caramel sauce to make my own Mythical Mocha. (If you don't know what that is, i feel sorry that you... for you clearly do not have a BigFoot Java near you and deserve my pity. But for those of you who don't, it's a caramel white mocha.)

And, uh... it is scrumptious.

Oh, look at that. My very own BigFoot tumbler!

And this caramel sauce... This caramel sauce, Francine. Oh, my gosh, this caramel sauce, oh, my gosh.

Thank you, Pioneer Woman. I love you. Too soon? Why do i always do that?
