You Don’t Want to Smell Like Twilight
So it wasn’t only me who thought the Bath and Body Works’ Twilight Woods was just too coincidental with the popular Twilight books and movies series. Bath and Body Works and Summit Entertainment are in a lawsuit.
Quick Review: Starbucks Cocoa Cappuccino
As part of its 40th birthday celebration, Starbucks is offering its Tribute Blend coffee and Cocoa Cappuccino drink. Here’s how the Cocoa Cappuccino is described:
We took an old favorite and gave it a richly delightful twist when we combined espresso, sweet mocha and foamy milk. It’s a bold flavor combination designed for those who enjoy the finer things in life.
I got a Cocoa Cappuccino today and you know what? It tastes like a Starbucks Mocha, a refined mocha. It’s like the Mocha but with more of a kick and a fuller consistency, even with non-fat milk. It must be the espresso or chocolate drizzled foam that adds creaminess to the drink. And unlike the Mocha, the mocha flavor isn’t as biting and has less contrast to the overall drink.
I had the drink hot but will have to try the iced version to see if the smoothness prevails.
And while you’re at Starbucks, check out their latest Tribute items and new logo.

Best Episode of Top Chef All-Stars
This might have been the best Top Chef All-Stars episode from the entire season. Episode 12, Give Me Your Huddled Masses, had the remaining five chefs creating Quick Fire dishes from a snack bar on-board a tour boat. Then for the main challenge, each chef prepared a dish representative of his family’s heritage. And every chef absolutely killed it. Carla, Antonia, Tiffany, Mike, and Richard cooked from their souls and gave the judges an impossible task of eliminating one more contender.
In the end, the judges simply couldn’t decide who to send packing. So instead of a Final Four, Top Chef has five finalists dueling for the All-Stars title.
Not only was the cooking great, but the reunion of chefs and their families was touching. But the best part of the show had to be the punking of Richard Blais. He got punk’d twice – once for his alright dish and secondly at Judges Table. Take a look…
