lattes & frothers

Well, I started making my lattes again this morning. Believe it or not, I was still making my toddy iced coffee, but with the sudden drop in temps, I was forced to get out my little stovetop espresso maker. I use the small one for myself and the larger one for multiple lattes. But the gadget that will change your life... my Bonjour Primo Latte Frother. Seriously, it makes the best froth. SOOO thick & creamy. And I mean THICK. But the real key to thick froth, NON-FAT MILK. And if you want to jazz it up, add a splash of Torani caramel flavoring. Or for some holiday cheer, a splash of Bailey's Irish Cream. Enjoy!


In case you think you've seen that latte pic before, well you have. I posted that pic 21 months ago... never dreaming that an hour later we would get a call that my grandbaby was going to be born... 7 weeks early. She was born that day weighing 2# 6oz.- totally & completely healthy. I was once again overcome with emotion and gratitude and joy, as I was reminded of the miracle of that day.
Mimi loves you Emolyn.

Hi Linda,
That is so sweet! You lucky gal, I need a grandbaby! Those mittens hanging in the window is just so charming! Is that your window? Love it! It's cold here, only in the 20's! Brrr! I need that latte right now! Have a nice week-end, Cindy

Being that I am in the midwest I switched to hot, a while back! I do love the little italian espresso makers. I broke my frother though, and should put a new one on my list of wants.

Linda, I think some night at home group we should all learn how to make those fancy drinks. Sounds delicious! I'm so glad Emolyn came into the world. What a blessing she is.
