rootofnewtI have oatmeal. Chewy oatmeal. Oatmeal should have bite. Butter, salt, a touch of cinnamon and sugar. Yum.
Starbucks called me back. The carrying agent for the anatto coloring (E160b) in the pumpkin pie spice syrup/mix is propylene glycol. No soy is used in it at all, though they cautioned me that there's always the risk of cross-contamination. Honey, stepping outside my *door* puts me at risk for cross-contamination. Touching produce puts me at risk. Buying bulk grains or sugar puts me at risk. I'm used to that--it's a very, very small risk.
It's not at all like the risk of having a latte that was made with whole milk right after a soy latte was made and the steamer wand wasn't cleaned--no, that's an epinephrine situation.
Anyhow, I can now indulge in that horrific concoction and make my coffee-loving friends swoon in embarassment.
Soon, I'll need to take boy to class. I need to go to Kroger, too. I might go grab a latte afterward, if I have time.
