T Stands for Lah-Di-Dahs

 

The Eldest was going to order a Lah-Di-Dah (fancy beverage) from Starbucks She asked if I wanted something. My little, guilty pleasure from Starbucks is the Chai Tea Latte. 

Silly, tautological name. Because Chai means tea. So it's a Tea Tea Latte and somehow they know to throw in spices like black pepper, cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, vanilla and lots of sugar with foamy milk. You can order it hot or iced. I don't like it iced. Those warm spices just don't taste tight to me.

Anyway, she got me a Grande (medium size) Chai Tea Latte on her dime!

Drop by hosts, Bleubeard and Elizabeth's blog to find out what the rest of the T Stands For gang is up to. If you want to play, include in your Tuesday post a beverage or container for a beverage. Don't forget to link your blog to Bleubeard and Elizabeth's page.

  2. My guilty pleasure is a chai tea latte too. I don't usually go to Starbucks. Hope it was warm and tasty and you enjoyed every drop of it. Happy T day, the rest of 2025 and the start to 2026. Stay warm too. That wind is a whipping.

  6. Chai Tea Latte does sound a bit silly, you're absolutely right, but if you like the taste, that's fine. The recipe sounds really nice and reminds me of our first trip to India... and the mugs and paper cups are a perfect color for Christmas. Thanks for sharing your Niagara story with me 😊!
    I wish you and all your loved ones (both two-legged and four-legged) a happy, enjoyable, and healthy New Year!
    🎇🍀🐞✨

  7. I keep asking myself why I never go to Starbucks. I would like to try those drinks. It’s not even far to the nearest one. But it never occurs to me.

  10. I don't have a Starbucks near. I think the nearest would be Malaga Airport, a three hour drive if not more. I once had a coffee there. It was the price of a three course meal in our town and it was so sweet, I couldn't drink it! (I had to leave it..) So I don't think I'd go there again.... Not even for a la-di dah.
    Nice mugs though.
    Happy T-Day and Happy 2026 to you too,
    Lisca
