I will be heading to Starbucks and I'm thinking about getting a Caffe Mocha (In Grande) today. And, have it with a single yummy banana too!
I love Bananas!

No coffee today, but I have enjoyed two cups of green tea, which I have not done in a while.
No bananas, however. I've lost my taste for them over the years.

In all honesty, if the fish you've tried truly tastes "fishy," it wasn't good fish &/or wasn't prepared right. I don't pretend to have any sort of discriminating palate in the least, but until 10 years ago or so I had no interest in salmon, because I'd only ever had it in patty form, made from canned salmon, by my mother-in-law (who was a very good cook, BTW; it's just that we were in Phoenix, so fresh salmon wasn't exactly lying around waiting to be picked up). During a trip to the Panama City, Fla., area, though, for some reason or other (probably because, as noted previously, I'm not much for red meat) I decided to try a salmon burger. I loved it, & I've been partial to fresh salmon ever since. It's funny you mention canned salmon. My mom is from Rhode Island, and she loves all fish type foods. But she always complained about living in Illinois because the fish was NEVER good. She always said she'd have to go back to the east coast to get any real seafood. But, she got by with what she could get, but never attempted to buy "fresh" seafood here, so she would make Salmon patties and force them on us when I was young. I absolutely refused to eat them because they had the little bones in them still. I tried them, and they were so gross. And I don't do bones at all, ever. But my husband had some fresh salmon when we were in Virginia, and he had me try it, and I still thought it tasted too fishy. Got to agree with Dan (I know, a first time for everything), but a good piece of salmon, broiled simply and finished with maybe some lemon and/or butter, is a beautiful thing. Some folks just don't like fish, which is fine, but if salmon is done well, it shouldn't be fishy. My dad made salmon patties from the canned stuff when I was a kid too. It wasn't bad, but was never my favorite. By the way, inspired by our earlier conversation, I got bagels & Philly smoked salmon cream cheese for breakfast for this week. Still tasty. |

A secret page from DE Sinclair's anti-banana strategy guide....notes on anti-banana experiment #324...  so be careful next time you reach for a banana... -M First thought: just goes to show, even monkeys can learn that bananas are the root of all produce-based evil. Second thought: when will monkey-on-monkey violence end?? |

Second thought: when will monkey-on-monkey violence end??When there are enough bananas to go around and no one is denied the ecstasy of banana bliss contentment? The source of violence and anti-social behavior is obviously banana deprivation...at least that's my take away. -M |

I shudder to think what would happen if monkeys learned that some deluded humans are eating the evil things, thus reducing the supply available to the monkeys. There will be monkey-borne carnage in the streets, mark my words. |

Meaning, of course, that the scourge of the herb-masquerading-as-fruit will be eradicated by then. I'm just sorry I'm not likely to be around to see that glorious day. |

I only like mochas or lattes and such. I like some coffee flavor but it has to be blended with something else. I've tried to like coffee at home, but no matter what flavors I tried, they all tasted exactly the same...blergh.
Don't like Starbucks much any more; their drinks are too sweet. I'll go there if there's nothing else open, though.
