The Teacup Cafe II

Lotesse · 09-07-2005, 01:33 PM

Welcome to the Teacup Cafe!

'morning, mooters... I'm gonna fire up the espresso machine, if anyone would care to have a latte or something it'll be good to go in a sec. Me, I'm making myself a triple caramel cappuchino, to start with, and see how spazzy I get when I start to O.D. on the caffeine.

I'll take a triple shot Americano straight up and black (in Starbux talk thats 'no room')

Lotesse · 09-07-2005, 01:40 PM

I loathe Starbucks, they can kiss my ass those monstro-business con artists canNOT make decent coffee, then they charge an arm & a leg for it! No, you're much better off here at the Teacup. I'll make your Americano with Jamaican Blue Mountain, and the espresso shot will actually be brewed correctly and not burnt or stale.

Enjoy!

Snowdog · 09-07-2005, 01:45 PM

Woo Hoo! Thanks!

*leaves the barista a generous tip*

I agree on Starbux. The only one worth going to is the original one in the Pike Place Market in Seattle. They still have the original politically-incorrect logo!

But I frequent the local roasters, like Huxdotters, and if it has to be a bigger place, then its Tullys.

Lotesse · 09-07-2005, 01:55 PM

That Pike Place Starbucks, I'm sure I've had coffe there before but it's been years since i was in Seattle. I used to get coffee a lot over at the "Seattle's Best Coffee" joint next to the Nordstrom mall on 4th Ave., because i was bartending down the street at Steve's Broiler (oh, memory lane!) and I'd get Lattes and bring them to work with me. Steve's Broiler has been gone for a while, now. Do you remember that place, ever been there Snowdog?

Snowdog · 09-07-2005, 02:07 PM

Steve's Broiler! 4th an Virginia? Yeah! Back in the day! Probably before your day.... I have a few memories of Steve's. I think I saw something about that place on Disappearing Seattle...

Oh, Seattles Best Coffee is ironicly Seattle's 2nd worst coffee.... just ahead of Starbux.

Oh yeah, I forgot to add.... Steve's is now the Icon Grill. Its been mega-refurbished and yuppie-ized... not like the old Seattle.

Man, it is so expensive trying to join the Mars society. 25 US Dollars in monthly dues!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????????????????

It's atroucious! I might as well round up a thousand dollars to pay for lifetime membership!

Oh, well, at least I get a newsletter out of it all.

trolls' bane · 09-14-2005, 11:11 PM

It really gets hard to keep up that way! I wish vB would change it.

Lotesse · 09-14-2005, 11:15 PM

Word!!

trolls' bane · 09-14-2005, 11:22 PM

Two Words!!!!

Lotesse · 09-14-2005, 11:27 PM

Anyway. Want a cup of tea, old chap? I know you do...

trolls' bane · 09-14-2005, 11:30 PM

Lotesse, *shakes head and sips cup of tea*, sometimes I really wonder about you. Were you a photographer in your previous life and it's coming back to haunt (or rather, bewilder) us?

Hi! I'm back! I had a fun day today, out in RL at the beach and stuff like that. Driving today was fun, too, until my boyfriend got behind the wheel and tried to win the Formula 1 in friday afternoon commuter-chaos traffic. I guess that was kinda fun, too, I just HATE the idea of a cop pulling him over for speeding or whatever. Cops can really be a bummer. Ah, well, we avoided the coppers and at the end of the day, that's what really matters.

THIS is who my boyfriend was acting just like, this afternoon:

That's Ralf Schumacher, if you guys couldn't tell.

Beware, all you slow-computer-havin' haters, 'cause here comes a biggie...

Where is everybody tonight? Probably out having a REAL life, since it's Friday night. Meh. This is depressing me. Trolls' bane, you out there?

trolls' bane · 09-17-2005, 01:27 AM

Mom got home today! Too bad I wasn't there.

Lotesse · 09-17-2005, 01:31 AM

That's GREAT news, trolls' bane! She's been in hospital for a while, huh? So your not in the valley anymore, you're out in cow country or oil country or something, aren't you? Like out by Taft (Taft! ugh) or somewhere... Hey have you seen my wine thread? You probably don't care about the wine yet though, I guess. I'm sorta fishing right now, aren't I?
