coffee in the deep south

as my regional coffee interest develops, i am slowly finding out more about this new fad in the south for "candy" coffee. these drinks are apparently made with espresso, milk, flavored syrups, and sometimes topped with a dusting of the candy bar for which they are named.

for example, the verona almond joy. i wouldn't drink one, but i think this is a regional treat that may have legs. betcha it shows up on the coasts soon.

after the cookies came out the oven today, i tackled the new pasta rollers. making anna del conte's pasta dough recipe: 1-1/3 cups flour, 2 eggs. piled the flour up on a baking sheet, made the well, broke the eggs into the center, so far so good.

i expected that this new roller set would have some metal packing dust. which it did. but it was much, much less than the previous set. i think the second batch of pasta i make could actually be edible. . .
