Sooooo about that idea that a day in Starbucks would be calorifically light...
The thing about what I firmly and categorically refuse to think of as "the Christmas Season" until at least freakin' December is that plenty of places bring out "Seasonal Varieties", to tempt the unwary consumer into parting with more cash to try new or limited-offer comestibles.
Which is kinda where my Starbucks plan went awry today.
Toffee Nut Latte? Hmm...nutty...
Gingerbread Latte...yum...gingerbready...
Praline Mocha...erm...mochy...
Peppermint Mocha...Yyyyyeah, think we have a winner.
I have now...practically run the gamut of seasonal varieties in Starbucks, stopping admittedly short of the Egg Nog Latte because - get this, o fans of deep-rooted hypocrisy - the idea of egg and coffee just really doesn't do it for me. I know, cos toffee nut coffee's just so normal, right?
Most of these, while still being de-caff and skinny, will undoubtedly have had proper, old-fashioned syrups lurking in them somewhere, and so while technically I haven't had what might be considered any "real food" today, I've certainly ingested a good few calories more than I intended with my whole "Starbucks Slim-Fast" plan. So this is me, home now before 6PM, jumping on the bike for a quick syrup-burning hour before the night really gets down to business.
All go, innit?
