Perhaps it's a bad sign when your company's ubiquity becomes the butt of jokes; I particularly loved
The Onion's suggestion that
Starbucks would open a store in the bathroom of another Starbucks. So I wasn't surprised to read the news that the all-conquering coffee chain is
closing 600 US stores.
Whether you're a Starbucks fan or a hater, I bet you know a thing or two about the company's crazy reputation for having a store on every corner — or maybe now it's every other corner. Take my Starbucks by the numbers quiz to find out.

There's nothing like deliciously creamy, homemade ice cream. While it's a treat almost everyone enjoys, it's not a dessert everyone makes, as it requires a special piece of culinary equipment.
If you can't live another Summer without an ice cream maker, get excited because we're giving away this Cuisinart Supreme Ice Cream Maker.

Being "in a pickle" means you're in a bad way, but eating pickles is always a good thing, at least in my opinion. Whether it's whole dill pickles that crunch between your teeth or sweet bread-and-butter slices on sandwiches, I can't get enough of pickles. Today is actually the first day of National Pickle Month, so I'm marking the juicy occasion with a pickle — and a pickle quiz.

You may drink it everyday, but do you know any other coffee drink besides the one you order. For example, what exactly is an Americano. Find out now when you take my quiz.

The big news this week on YumSugar is that we're
giving away a Cuisinart Supreme ice cream maker.
We also got ready for the
Fourth of July, made
summertime desserts, and
got to know Anne Burrell. Did you pay attention to the deliciousness.
