Panera Cinnamon Crunch Bagel

Panera Bread Company

I have only a few words to say “That’s good eats!”  The cinnamon crunch bagel is sweet and filling yet not harsh on the breakfast tummy.  Accompany to a hot latte and spread that heavenly hazelnut cream cheese for added tastiness.

Based on her recent “love gone wrong” divorce with motocross racer Carey Hart, Pink comes back with funky, rock, gritty sounds with her fifth installation Funhouse.  Swing your head to her No.1 hit “So What” and other tracks that explain why it sucks to be brokenhearted.

Sex, Murder and a Double Latte by Kyra Davis Red Dress Ink™  www.kyradavis.com

 

Just the title alone gets me thirsty for the steamy plot and of course, for a double latte.  The novel is about mystery writer Sophie Katz whose reality becomes too much like her works. Sex, Murder, and a Double Latte keeps you on a caffeine rush from beginning to end.
