Aug. 4, 2009 - Alternative to Hot Mochas, etc.
DD and I tried some of the hot mochas that McDonald's was offering for free on Mondays. We really liked the hot ones, but the iced mochas were NASTY! 
I told dd that my cappuccino machine (which has been stored away for quite some time), could make cappuccinos that were every bit as good as the $2.29 ones at McDonald's.
We headed off to Kroger to buy some cappuccino coffee (in both decaf and regular so we could drink it no matter the time of day). 
I dug out the machine. The trick to making it taste good is to make 1/3 of it coffee, 1/3 steamed milk, and the other 1/3 frothed milk. When it is done, we squirt chocolate syrup in the mug, add sweetener, and stir. We top it with whipped topping, then we add a bit of cinnamon, followed by a tiny bit more chocolate syrup over the whipped topping. Yum! And we paid about $12 for TWO large containers of coffee. Whereas, if we would buy them at McDonald's, we would get less than 6 of them for $12.00
For those who don't have the money to buy a cappuccino machine, here is an alternative.

And now, for a neat praise!
We've been watching a small, 21" screen in our family room. While I've been thankful to still have a TV to watch, I was just thinking last night, "I have that "Movies as Literature" course to use, and the tv is hooked to a dvd player. I need a tv to work with the vhs player since most of the movies we need will be vhs tapes from the library." I didn't even pray about it -- I just had the thought, and look how quickly the Lord intervened and GAVE us a FREE TV!

he knows our needs before we do it often seems. I agree making it at home makes more sense and takes less time than heading out to McDs
