A week of half-price Frappacinos saw me going to Starbucks three times that week in May.

Lunchbox Madness. Decided to try a new recipe. My rendition of pork medallions with a coffee molasses glaze. It was a pleasing, comforting taste. The glaze reduced well on the stove. Carrots and turnips from the weekly produce box.

Come to think of it, it’s my first time seeing latte art since I left BC. I especially enjoyed the decor. The lofty feel really reflects what I aspire to live in one day. I’m definitely going to return one lazy Sunday afternoon with a good book.

I must admit, they are definitely not the best crepes available but there’s just something about Cafe Crepe that makes you want to go there.  After a day of walking around downtown, I ordered a dark chocolate hazelnut crepe with a scoop of coffee ice cream.
