I enjoy making people jealous. Sorry. I’m wicked like that. If you saw “my” coffee house, you would turn green with envy. So, I thought I would show you my morning “routine.” Being a coffee addict, I have to go to Jupiter House, on the square here in Denton, to get my “fix.”
Perfect cup of mocha
I realize that this cup of mocha is almost too pretty to drink (but it is as delicious as it looks!). You should see the process that was used, with chocolate syrup, to create that lovely flower.
The artist
Oops! I got distracted for a moment (I’m old, but I’m not dead). Below is the process he used.
creating a mocha masterpiece
After drizzling the chocolate, a toothpick is used to spread it to make an image. Usually, while my coffee is being made, I wander around the coffee house saying, “Howdy, How y’all doin’ this mornin’.” [YES ... I'm afraid I really talk like that. If you ever hear me put the "g" at the end of an "ing," you'll know I'm feeling threatened by an authoritative figure.]

And, while I wait for my perfect cup of mocha, I try to get all “artsy fartsy” and snap pictures of syrup bottles standing at attention.

Rank and file
Did I make you jealous? If so, head to Jupiter House in Denton, Texas. I’ll meet you there and buy you a “cuppa.”

Oh, my, Anne. Did I get your heart rate up this morning? I was afraid he might have that effect (but remember, I’m trying to make you jealous!
). I think you have a bit of a travel to get here, but come on!

I’ve never tried Russian White coffee. I may have to try it. Yes, the “artist” is rather nice, eh? He will be delighted that people think so.
This post makes me wish that I like coffee! I love all of your photos.

Thank you! And, thanks for the visit.
So how much is that lovely cuppa? Pretty pix.
.-= Daryl´s last blog ..monochrome monday =-.
Ummm…. how much? Well, lemme see. It’s designer coffee. I must admit that you could probably buy a pound of coffee for the price of two cups. But, you wouldn’t get the flower!
THANK YOU for speakin’ without a “g”. That form of talk is one of the most comfortin’ sounds to me!
Sure, darlin’, but you’re probably one of the few folks readin’ my blog who understand that kinda talk.
I’m jealous of your coffee flower. I got lazy this morning and didn’t even make my own coffee, just opened a can of diet Coke. Still doing the clean up from Thanksgiving dinner yesterday.
.-= Laura´s last blog ..Arranging Pieces =-.
Shoot, Laura! It never occurred to me that you were Canadian, eh? Happy Thanksgiving … a bit late. Do y’all eat turkey up there? Just to show how ignorant I am…
This post was unique..being a coffee lover, I think I can relate. I love that picture up top..honestly, I think I’ve been in the wooleys too long because I ‘ve never seen a cup made quite like that!
.-= Kilauea Poetry´s last blog ..Lava Rock =-.
I made you jealous! I get coffee like that every stinkin’ day. But, I’d buy you a cup if you want to swim an ocean to get here
Yummy, yummy (and those bedroom eyes? *yikes!) Okay, I’m hoppin’ on my broom. See ya in the morning!
