I have no excuse. The Sugar Free Red Bull has been calling my name and I have been answering. It calls me a Weak Ass Dirtbag and I have no ability to resist its call and buy a four-pack. It doesn’t leave my teeth feeling sugary and gritty, it gives me some much needed ZING! [...]
Mornings that begin like this require skinny sugar-free vanilla chai drinks from your local drive-through coffee shops. You know, the cute ones with artsy-fartsy stuff. That sell local art with their free trade coffee products. That trust you enough to say, “Hey. Just take the blueberry muffin today and pay tomorrow. I trust you.” This [...]
It’s been far too long since I’ve dedicated myself to that blissful cuppa that begins my day. Grind fresh beans. Use clean, filtered water. Brew slowly. Inhale deeply. Smile wickedly. Taste the love.
Two days with no coffee. Two days of not getting enough sleep and not getting up in time to make coffee and not having time to stop before work. Two. Crappy. Days. Send help.
Damn if the weather hasn’t changed almost instantly in the mornings and made me ready for chai. Panera makes an iced chai that I got one day this warm weekend, but it was sickly sweet and too much. This morning I’m making my own chai from this blend that I got toward the end of [...]
I have found my new little coffee shop on the way to work. They brew it fresh when they see me coming, they put just the right amount of Splenda in for me, and they make a great, strong blend of Jamaica Me Crazy that doesn’t hurt my pocketbook. K.I.S.S. Coffee is appropriately named because [...]
Lately my time, when it hasn’t included working at my new position, has been at small outdoor cafes on days when the heat isn’t entirely stifling. Some of it came after this whole “ghetto coffee” discussion and the fact that I started using the Delocator for fun. In my “fun” I found two new coffee [...]
I’m trying too hard to be cozy with my coffee with this heat because normally I don’t drink very heavy, strong coffees in the summer unless it’s iced. This morning I tried a Peet’s/Kick Ass Coffee mixture, poured it over ice, and then added a shot of hazelnut cream. I wanted to be reflective and [...]
I think that maybe I overuse the term “kick ass” but it’s so benign I can use it around my kids. Yes, I’m that kind of mom. An incredibly sweet gal, Something Blue (surely, she has a real name!), from Something Baby Blue, came up to me and gave me some Kicking Horse Fair Trade [...]
As usual, hotel coffee sucks. No matter what’s in my cuppa today, however, I am sipping a hot cuppa Pissed Off And Gonna React. Anyone care to join me?
