caramel – Papas Cutting Board

Peppermint Dark Chocolate latte

My Tassimo coffee maker, is my favorite coffee machine. I have a variety of coffee machines, but this is the one I use every day – Period. I also bought the make your own pods, which I experiment with now and then. I just wish I could figure out how to make a latte and/or cappuccino with the empty pods.

This is my favorite Flat White mixture. The Tassimo Flat White is harder to find, so, I only treat myself to it on the weekend.

In the photos, you’ll see the sweetener I prefer. But this coffee is delicious without a sweetener. I just like the holiday flavors throughout the year.

I like to add a drop of dark chocolate liquid sweetener to the cup, before I start with the milk pod; I then add the Peppermint liquid sweetener to the top of the milk foam, before starting the espresso pod. Tassimo Flat white is a favorite over the years.

I wish Tassimo coffee was available in the U.S.

I buy it online only when I can find free shipping, as it is already a bit expensive. My second favorite latte, is the Jacob Caramel Macchiato. Tassimo also offers a variety of dark and medium roasts, which I enjoy throughout the year.

I have had my Tassimo machine for a few years, if it ever stops working, I will buy another.

Salted Rum Caramel Sauce is in the jar at top right of photo

This is a beautiful book with tempting photos. The recipes tempt you. My husband was craving banana pie, so I checked this book out of the library. After making and tasting the Salted Rum Caramel Sauce, and the Rum Pastry Cream, I had a feeling it was a keeper. My husband drooled over this, and couldn’t stop eating it. Normally, he does not care for coconut, but he did not mention it while he inhaled this pie. I ordered the book online to have on my shelf as there are a few apple and berry pie recipes I want to try, along with the crust. I give this book 4 stars for now, because the pastry cream was more of pudding rather than pie. That could be my fault, so I’m going to make it again, if I get a better pie filling result, I will change this rating to 5 stars. Of course, if the apple recipes turn out well, then that will change the stars to 5 as well. My husband said he did not mind the pudding part as it was delicious. The Salted Rum Caramel sauce will be used on apple slices today because it is delicious.
