There are few snacks I enjoy more than a molasses cookie and a skinny vanilla latte from Starbucks! I have yet to find a molasses cookie that can beat the Starbucks version.
There is a coffee shop in Seattle's Westlake Center called Dilettante Mocha Cafe. Besides coffee and mouth watering chocolates, they sell a sparkling citrus drink I had in Europe called Orangina. I think the first time I had it was on the train from London to Paris. We enjoyed taking the train to all of our destinations. The train stations were beautiful.

I was pleased to see Orangina again at the Dillettante Cafe, even though it costs $2.75 for a rather small bottle! It was a nice memory from our trip.

I like Orangina too! They sell it in lots of restaurants here. Now you have me curious about these molasses cookies. Are they like a spice cookie? I must hunt down a good recipe for those and make them.
ReplyDeleteMolasses cookies are kinda spicy and chewy. I've never tried this recipe -

Great picture!
You've heard the saying - slow as molasses in January? My mother used to say that...:)
Yes, Joy, you remembered about molasses in January.
ReplyDeleteI always liked Orangina; as expensive as it is here, wasn't it more expensive in Paris? I especially liked the tear-shaped bottle and don't like the can you can get in the US.
ReplyDeleteWe were in Norway when my son was 9 and he took a liking to Solo, which is almost exactly the Norwegian Orangina equivalent. Basically you cannot get it here; I did find it in one of the Scandinavian delis in Ballard, and once I ordered a case from Olso on the Internet (it arrived in smithereens but they sent it again).
I like the pear-shaped bottles too, very European somehow. I'm sure I have some receipts for the Orangina I got on the trip. I saved everything! I think it's more expensive here. I think I got it in a can in Amsterdam (but maybe that was Fanta).
ReplyDeleteThe food is better in Europe for the most part, especially in Paris. But ice water is not served in restaurants as much. They like to serve bottled water either sparkling or still as they say. You have to ask for "table water" which is free.
We got Evian at the McDonald's on St Germain.
