Mmmmm....Starbucks?

I had a love/hate relationship with Starbucks until a few years ago... I loved to hate them. I was a local coffee only kinda gal. Batdorf and Bronson still own my heart.

But Starbucks comes out with drinks like the Marble Mocha Macchiato, and send pictures of them to my email, and I get weak in the knees. Is it possible to lust after coffee? I think I'm in love.

It's not fair, of course. These designer drinks look divine, but they're still made with overly "roasty" (thank you Ja-ason) beans. I generally don't prefer their 'regular' fare. But make it look pretty and market the hell out of it, and I'll try it. I might even like it. I'll let you know.
