I finally got the iPhone Facebook and Twitter apps so it’s way easy to post pictures. So I’ve been posting a ton there lately. Today, I posted a picture of the peppermint mocha Pete made for me on Drugstore Divas’ Facebook page.

Someone asked if it was Starbucks. Nope. Not with Pete around. With him, everything is made from scratch

I got him to dictate the recipe to me. Now, you can stop paying for overpriced mochas immediately.
