What exactly is the Chantico? I've heard people rave over it, but I don't know what it is.
Zoe: Is there any way I'm gonna get out of this with honor and dignity? Wash: You're pretty much down to ritual suicide, lambie-toes.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Good jimmy coverage is ESSENTIAL.
Heh.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
To quote Starbucks themselves, Steph, it's "A drinkable dessert with an intense, full-bodied chocolate flavor and silky, rich texture."

So, hot chocolate, then?

To quote USA Today:
Unlike hot chocolate, which is made from cocoa powder, Chantico is steamed with cocoa butter and whole milk. It's no diet drink: A 6-ounce cup has 390 calories, 21 grams of fat and 51 carbs.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Steph, it's more like European drinking chocolate than Swiss Miss. It is of teh YUM.
Has anyone tried the Au Bon Pain Coco Loco?

The status is NOT quo.
1. There are howling wind noises that sound like they've been ripped from one of the Halloween sound effects CD's coming from outside. This strikes me as utterly unfair when it is a deceptively sunny morning and ostensibly almost spring.
2. I want hot chocolate or coffee or a latte, but only if someone makes it for me and brings it to me. Therefore, I am hot beverage-less.
3. Nilly, that's wonderful news about the wedding. It sounds like it was a great experience for everyone.
4. There are six Dunkin Dounts within twenty minutes of my house. It's all about determining the good stores and the lame stores, IMO. At the DD on Rt. 85, you'd be lucky to get even half-jimmy-coverage. They have a great location; they don't care if you get the wrong kind of coffee or a jimmy-less sprinked donut. The DD on Rt. 1, however, operates at a much higher standard. (DD likes carrots.)

Art Crawl!!!
I think I need Chantico now.
I woke up very pissed off, but having, after venting to a friend, my sister-in-law and a co-worker, realized the cause of my frustration. . . I feel much better.
But I need chocolate.

So, hot chocolate.
Sorry, but "hot chocolate" is my shorthand for the hot liquid chocolate beverage that is referred to as cocoa/drinking chocolate/hot chocolate. I know that offends purists, but, eh. (Plus, "drinking chocolate" is just a weird term.)
I also refer to margarine as butter. (Which is an even bigger misnomer than the hot chocolate thing.) Not on purpose; I just do. I think the "any hot liquid chocolate beverage" = "hot chocolate" and the "margarine" = "butter" are holdovers from my childhood, b/c my whole family does the same thing.
