Part of my Trying To Be A Responsible Humanoid is cutting down on gas (doing a LOT of walking both for health reasons and not wasting fuel) and combining meals with my mom when she and I decide to eat dinner together. That extra mouth to feed (read: the 8 year old nephew) isn’t really [...]
Warming up some Rice Dream original flavor milk, adding a shot of Peet’s Coffee (they’re having a coffee contest so go enter!) and then sipping decadently is my new pasttime. Just in time for baseball season. Play ball! With Rice Dream!
I’m up early today. For obvious reasons: my bones need an extra 20 minutes of talking to before they stop cracking altogether. So! Since I’m older! I will enjoy the most decadent coffee today! Perhaps a white chocolate mocha with full fat milk. And whip cream. And perhaps an extra shot! It’ll kill me in [...]
I have had this Cafe du Monde container of coffee sitting in my freezer for a while and today is just the day to see if I still like it in all its earthy gloriousness. I do. Just takes a bit of 2% milk to make it not grow chest hairs so quickly. G’on and [...]
Penzey’s Spices makes a Dutch Process Cocoa in a 7.5 ounce jar that I mix with 5 cups of skim milk, 3 tablespoons of Penzey’s Vanilla Sugar, a hearty splash of vanilla, and a coupla sprinkles of cinnamon. If I mix up a batch and double the recipe you have to bring the marshmallows, ok?
It’s cold. I hate cold. Why do I live here again? It’s sunny, though. That’s redeeming. It’s dry and my throat has a dry cough. The weather is also windy. There is debris flying around from toppled garbage bins. But there is tea and there is honey and there is relief. This is my [...]
It’s that time of year when Hickory Farms melds into the scenery at the local mall. Go get some Christmas Celebration coffee. And then send it to me. I’m hoarding it for the end of times. No, really. I’ll keep it safe. I’ll brew it for you. Honest. Would I lie to you about coffee [...]
Maybe saying it was “mediocre” is too kind, but my fave new coffee hut is under new management and today I ordered the Pumpkin Spice latte and it was far too perfumy to be enjoyed. Ick. Not what I wanted at all. Tomorrow’s pumpkin pie had better deliver because I’m pretty disappointed in pumpkiny stuff [...]
Don’t you hate it when you have your mouth set on something and you get to the counter at your coffee shop and they ask, “Would you like to try the Peppermint Mocha today?” and your brain is suddenly scrambled and you sputter for a moment before agreeing to it? I hate that, too. But [...]
I truly do want some coffee, but with the onset of a cold that I’ll be cussing during the duration of it, I am drinking hot water. With a lemon slice. Too bad it’s not something really tasty. In fact, it’s…what’s the word? Sorta gross. Definitely gross.
