Oh, dear Lord baby Jesus, or as our brothers in the south call you, “Jesuz”…
Sorry. I’m not Ricky Bobby saying his prayers. I’m Mocha Momma. Let me begin again.
Oh, dear sweet baby Jesus. You have sent me the cutest dang stories through the readers of this blog. It was a tough decision. It was funny because I let out a snort or two. It was enlightening because I heard about using a French Press and having a smoke. It was nostalgic because of reading about having a cuppa with a grandma.
But I must choose two winners (and they must e-mail me their addresses). Those were the rules. I should know. I made them. The two postcards with the coffee fudge recipes will be making their way to Australia to Dragon_Mum (known to me personally as Yvonne or “Von” as I shorten it) and to wherever Mommela lives and only because I can’t help myself, I shall lick both postcards first.
Dear tiny baby Jesus. You must help me with the licking obsession. It’s all that licking of coffee lids I do.
If you haven’t done so, go read about Yvonne showing her entire post-partum arse to the nurses at the hospital as well as several (hundred? thousand?) passersby as she shuffled home just to get a decent cuppa. Read, with vivid imagery, as Mommela tells about her first heaven-sent cuppa cappuccino with the love of her life and envision yourself at an Italian cafe.
Dear 8 pounds 6 ounces baby Jesus… I might have to do another contest soon. This was hella fun to do.
*My sincere apologies to Will Farrell and Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. I just couldn’t stop laughing every time Ricky Bobby starts praying and had to pay homage to it.

That movie had me in tears and close to peeing myself. Doug brought it home and I loved it. It was hilarious!
I was gone yesterday! I missed the contest!
Dang it!

I want extra licks on my postcard please? Thank you
Does my postcard come with translations for the ingredients? I don’t think either of us can cope with another Margurita Bar Incident. PMSL
Who knew my arse would ever win me anything hey? I don’t know if I should just say thank you and bow politely or just run away and hide.
Love Talladega Nights. Loved that prayer the most. I agree with Dana. I spent the whole movie trying to control myself!

I’ve been wanting to see that movie for some time now… and NOW I have to see it… I’ve seen parts of his prayers in the movie trailer’s which had me in stitches… so now for sure I’m renting it!!
Congrats to both winners… both stories were GREAT but Dragon_Mum… well she took the cake and ate it too!
Ciao bella,
KC
PS… sending you some Timmies shortly

So clearly you prefer a little baby Jesus to a grown-up Jesus. What did older Jesus ever do to you to deserve such disdain?? He’s crying right now.

Oh man, Dragon-Mum’s story had me about ready to fall off my chair for laughing so much!

Isn’t “Talladega Nights” one of the most hilarious movies ever?

The coffee stories were so fantastic! If you could collect enough for a book — now that’s a concept. “Mocha’s Adventures in Coffeeland” has a nice ring to it.

Are you kidding me - I didn’t win? I want a recount - No, I am not Al Gore! Did you know he invented the Internet?
A begrudgingly congrats. to the 2 cheaters, I mean winners. Having your back end hanging out is a long way to go for beans. If I was a smarter man I could have made that really funny, but I am still licking my wounds from losing.
Thanks for the opportunity to enter your contest - it was really great.
P.S. - How much does it cost to win a contest? LOL

I have not seen the movie. Having grown up in the birthplace of NASCAR, I fear it may strike a little too close to home. And I too missed the contest. ‘Course I didn’t really have a story to tell for once…yes, go ahead and fall out from the shock now.

That part of the movie is pretty funny, added in the presence of his sons Walker and Texas Ranger….now you’ve made me want to watch that part again today, which I TOTALLY have no time for!
