Okay, so you ask, what is this besides a beverage that may very well insure that you will not fit into that swimsuit from last year?
It’s what Starbucks is calling Dark Cherry Mocha. It looks like a waist killer, but it sounds fabulous: espresso, bittersweet chocolate sauce, the flavor of dark sweet cherries and steamed milk and whipped cream. I’m thinking of trying it with non-fat milk and having them do more milk and easy on the espresso. Since I normally don’t drink caffinated coffee, I’d like to not be shake, rattle and rolling the rest of the day.

I’d invite you to join me to check this out, but my schedule is so miserably full that this will have to be one of those items I try “in the moment.”
