She knows I'm a hothouse flower, so anything that warms me up inside is great, and this is really a special treat. Grandpa Macs are good and tasty and this recipe has been in the family for years.

Starbucks Releases One Dollar Reusable Cup Today to Cut Down on Trash

This idea is a good one, not only for Starbucks, but more so for the environment. I'd be more likely to visit Starbucks more often, simply because of the introduction today of the reusable cup. Starbucks is cool for a lot of reasons, but for me the big thing is they are always on the cutting edge, always looking for new and innovative ways to not only increase business, but also to make sure a visit to Starbucks is a pleasurable one. Heck, I think I'll go order a White Chocolate Mocha Grande right now.

Glass Baking Pans Shatter More Frequently Than In The Past

It's happened to me.  A couple of years ago, I took food out of my oven that I had baked in a glass pan, set it on a dry cutting board with a hot pad underneath it, and then watched in horror as it shattered into a million pieces of hot flying glass.  It sounded like a gun went off.  The hot glass melted into my floor.  My insurance company was not amused.
