Four Times the Chocolate Cookie
It’s been raining non-stop here in Dallas. I’m really not complaining. It’s been too long since it last rained and fall is pretty much taking forever in arriving so this rain is more than welcome.

I awoke this morning with a desperate hankering for a Nutella frappe. They make them pretty much anywhere back in Puerto Rico. They have all kinds too! This isn’t like the coffee frappes.
