Starbucks Banana Frap -- try it!

This morning had the usual tasks:
1) Turn on lamps
2) Turn on computer; log in and open my usual applications
3) Check email, reply to urgent ones
4) Read my daily comics from the Seattle Times (Arlo and Janis, For Better or For Worse, FoxTrot, and Luann, FYI)
5) Get pinged by at least 2 people to make a daily Starbucks coffee run

We get to Starbucks and lo and behold--it was sample day! I tried the new Bananas and Creme Frappuccino Blended Drink (I think that is the official name, whatever) and let me tell you---SO GOOD. I've been reading on other blogs that the "banana puree" that goes into the drink itself doesn't look so appealing, but hey I'm not a barista and I don't plan on seeing the puree any time soon. It couldn't be any worse than when I make homemade banana bread?

Just the same--so so so so good. There was a nice lady ahead of me in line--and she said that she had to come back to Starbucks in the afternoon to get a Banana Frap. Exciting, no? Ray got to try the new Banana Creme Bar--which is basically a bar-shaped piece of banana cream pie if you ask me--he said it was very good eats, so perhaps I'll have to try that sucker some time as well.

Will the Green Tea Frap sans Melon and with extra green tea powder be replaced with this new Banana Frap as my favorite? The nutritional value of each is pretty much the same. Not that I'm a calorie counter, but did you know that the White Chocolate Frap has like 610 calories (grande, no whip)!!!!!

Now you may be wondering, did I go back this afternoon to get a frap? No. I decided I didn't need any more sugar today. :) At least..not yet!!
