My divorce from Starbucks and their terrible customer service, stupid, non vegan menu and general shabbiness of experience is complete.
Today on the cooling rack: lightly curried yellow corn muffins with nutritional yeast and turmeric. Beautifully crumbly and satisfyingly savory.
An ad libbed recipe which had its starting point in the Tassajara Bread Book

“...and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time....” (TS Eliot)
Crumbs.
All that’s left.
Yes, breaking up with second rate, abuse and mediocrity is easy, coffee shop on every corner of the world.
I will keep the mug.
