Here in the north country winter is just a few weeks away, and my excitement about reintroducing the afternoon warm-up coffee break is almost enough to ward off my premature shivers. This year, with the economy proceeding downward you may think the luxury of sweet, creamy coffee is beyond the limits of your wallet - but think again! Dunkin Donuts, our friendly neighborhood franchise, is offering small lattes for 99-cents between 2:00pm and 5:00pm beginning this month! Besides your choice of flavors and optional sprinkle of cinnamon on top, you'll be happy to know that DD's espresso drinks are 100% fair trade since 2003. What a great way to stay toasty, warm, and ethical all through those humdrum winter months!
