I'm surprised they left out Boston. There is a Dunkin Donuts on every corner. -- Janet Wilder Way-the-heck-south Texas Spelling doesn't count. Cooking does. |

Me too. And there are other brands in between. It is hard to drive for 5 blocks here without encountering at least one drive up coffee place. |

I would have assumed it meant black. No. I guess black means black. I can not drink coffee with sugar and milk. |

In Boston, regular means with cream, no sugar. Hanging out with my dad a thousand miles away (and many years ago), we would often stop to get him a takeout "Boston coffee." Same thing: cream, no sugar. |

They aren't on every corner (yet), although Starbucks has two stands in the hospital where I do research. In Vancouver, there are two large Starbucks on either side of Robson Street. The comedian Lewis Black ranted on a similar situation in Houston several years ago. I can understand this in Houston or Dallas, since turning left or crossing at the crosswalk can often be hazardous to your health there. Cindy -- C.J. Fuller Delete the obvious to email me |

Did you still have to click one-by-one to see each city in the list? If so, **** 'em. Bob |

If you mean did I use the arrow to advance, yes I did. All the images are grouped as thumbnails below the large image, but you have to enlarge them to see which city it is. When I scrolled through, the images loaded fast in 1-1.5 seconds each and I have a crappy connection. I'm paying for 20 Mb/s but my best speed tonight at speedtest.net was only 18.44 Mb/s. -- I love cooking with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food. |

Most people on the internet these days are either on company time or diddling away at their cell phones. I don't usually do the click me game either, but that's when it comes to internet recipes. If the entire recipe is on video with no recipe printed below, I move on. I will not watch a recipe video unless it's demonstrating a technique I need to know about. -- All you need is love.
