The last time I bought coffee, I bought whole bean. That meant I had to go buy a coffee grinder. So, while my morning are generally rushed - getting JB out the door with dog woofing all around me - dumping some beans into the grinder. Taking just a few seconds to stop, slow down and grind the beans. The smell is wonderful.
My first cup of coffee is poured by JB when he pours his go cup. I then walk him outside as he heads off and I get dog food. So my first cup is generally cooled and it means that the house has slowed for a minute. JB is gone to work, the dogs have been fed and are laying on their beds quietly, I have the laptop and I'm surfing blogs. It's all good. However you do it - enjoy your first warm beverage of the day.
Sometimes I think I'm the only one in America who does not enjoy a cup of coffee. I don't like the smell or the taste and will avoid any dessert that has a hint of coffee flavor to it...even if it does include chocolate! And by the way, my husband is just the opposite - he loves, loves, loves his coffee :-)
ReplyDeleteHmmm... I'm glad you seem to always post/answer before I even find the question. Must ponder...
