Latte Love

The other day Denis accidentally made a heart for me on my latte. Isn't that sweet? I would like to brag and say that he can make designs on purpose, but he hasn't gotten that advanced in his latte skills yet. This is the second time that he inadvertently made a heart though. The first time, I tried to take a picture, but my old lousy camera couldn't get it in focus.

When I have to work, I go to Starbucks for my coffee, but when we are both home, I get my caffeine fix courtesy of Denis. He had an espresso machine before we were married, but he didn't use it much. Two years ago I bought him an espresso how-to book for Christmas and he put it into practice right away. He is now quite good at getting some nice "crema". And now he is a true coffee snob. When we are traveling and have to resort to a coffee shop, he is generally not too impressed. Me, I don't care so much as long as it has caffeine and I can put some sweet syrup in it.

I love syrup in my latte at Starbucks, SP has perfected his coffee making skills since we got a expresso machine as a wedding gift, no hearts yet though...

That looks sooo yummy!

How sweet...it does look yummy, but I would prefer it if it were hot chocolate!

If you two ever got tired of the medical profession, I suppose you could always open a coffee shop. Then Denis could really perfect that heart making skill.

Mmmmm... looks yummy! If I close my eyes and breath deep, I can almost smell it... mmmm!
Must be coffee time for me too.

Priscilla, That's actually one of Denis' dreams. One that we pull out of our pocket every once in a while, turn in over in our hands, and then realize that we aren't much for risk-taking. Owning a business would probably not be as romantic as it sounds. But it is fun to think about. We have come up with elaborate plans of combining a coffee shop with a scrapbooking store with work space and big screen TVs for the men to come and watch sports while the ladies work on their scrapbooks. We can also have a kids play center... and live music, and great casual decor, and on and on.

It sounds great.

That looks so delicious!

The coffee shop church I attend is planning on buying and operating it's own coffee house. It looks like it might really happen.

Kris, I looked at your church's website and thought that looked really cool. I told Denis about it and he was impressed also. I wonder how it will all work though as a business and a church at the same time...
