Okay so this is my second attempt at the famous Brown Sugar Oat Shaken Espresso. Yesterday I didn’t tell you that I made the brown sugar syrup from scratch too which was quite yummy especially with the added cinnamon sticks and drop of vanilla essence. Any way today I decided to try shaking this concoction in a mason jar as you can see in the pictures and as I learned too I shook it a bit too much and my jar needed to be bigger but it was still fun making. I also tried adding more espresso and realized one shot was more than enough for me. Now this is not something i recommend drinking on a daily basis but it is still a treat. The other thing I have been working on perfecting are Egg McMuffins. They are not my go to, but I know when Jeff is running out the door for a tour which is almost always in the summer time this is the one thing he will eat as it keeps him full till he can have a proper meal, I won’t go in to details here about the other reason why he eats them. Now again the price of these have gone up over the year and I always prefer when we make something at home cause we know exactly what goes into them. I think I’m pretty happy with how these have turned out so far. As you can see it’s another beautiful day in the city and I have the opportunity to visit the Rocky Mountaineer train and station later today. I am looking forward to it, it’s not the first time but I always do enjoy seeing it again. I have a couple of tours booked this year with groups visiting the Rockies and the views from the train as well as the amazing hosts that not only do a wonderful job of taking care of the guests but also are great at story telling along the way. I feel like it’s our very own party train when I’m on it 😊💕🚞
