Espresso. Some sip it, Milton’s Cuisine & Cocktails rubs it in.Espresso-rubbed shrimp wakes up palates with its heady friends blue cheese, port, cherry and candied pecan risotto, pomegranate molasses and basil oil ($16). Spear this starter “Nibble” on the menu to enjoy with a glass of wine while poring over mouthwatering “Feed” entrées. (Photo by Terry Jaszcz)

McCafe Give-Away at Melle Cotte

Friend and fellow food blogger, Chris, is hosting a give-away on her blog Melle Cotte. If you don't already read her blog, check it out. I cook vicariously through her. Anyways, I'm sure you have seen the new McDonald's commercials for the McCafe espresso drinks. I love the one with the two guys at the coffee house who confess they have been pretending to be hip to fit into the coffee house crowd and realize they can be themselves by buying the drinks from McDonalds. She is giving away coupon packs for free McCafe drinks so you can try them and get hooked. Check out this post and leave a comment to be one of the selected winners!

I leave you with the commercial - I laugh everytime the guy says "I don't need these glasses. These are fake."
