[NurseBettyLu]

New creamer! CoffeeMate's Cinnamon Bun. This is good enough for people who don't lighten their coffee to try.

New creamer! CoffeeMate's Cinnamon Bun. This is good enough for people who don't lighten their coffee to try.

I received a coupon for a free bottle of CoffeeMate, so tried the toffee nut. Yummy!

[Genna14]

I only sweeten my coffee with Hazelnut.

[NurseBettyLu]

Hazelnut's good, but I needed to branch out a bit. I have found some interesting flavors. Ooh, this Cinnamon Bun is good! 'Nother cup, please.

[Genna14]

Yeah but for me, its either black or hazelnut. I can't do anything else. Makes me sick.

[pamcharlie]

Hazelnut coffee sounds yummy

[NurseBettyLu]

Coffee sounds good period. But as this is my night off, it'll be sleepytime tea with just a drop of honey.

[pamcharlie]

Enjoy your sleepytime tea nurse betty lu . i am going to go and rest up since i am feeling sick at the moment since some of my little ones have been down with bugs .

[jesus loves me]

Hey y'all. sorry i missed you. pam, feel better. still waiting to go to store to see what i can find for my coffee

[mindyhere]

Oh my goodness - I would have never thought that this thread would go on as long as it has.

I gave up drinking coffee every day ... :eek:

I figured that anything I absolutely HAD to have every day, or suffer withdrawals, probably wasn't good for me. But I still have some every now and then. I'm still alive and awake without it.

:P

[pamcharlie]

Hey y'all. sorry i missed you. pam, feel better. still waiting to go to store to see what i can find for my coffee

I plan to keep warm and get plenty of rest and lots of fluids and i want to be well this weekend since i have a friend who really needs me at the moment who is going through something major .

[jesus loves me]

I plan to keep warm and get plenty of rest and lots of fluids and i want to be well this weekend since i have a friend who really needs me at the moment who is going through something major . is some nice chicken soup on thn menu?

:P
You're telling me...Then again, me, Pam, and Beth have a tendency to turn any thread we're involved in into something totally random, while still staying on the subject.

[NurseBettyLu]

A rare talent, wouldn't you say? Having the afternoon cuppa right now. Ooh, that Cinnamon Bun creamer is sooooooo good!

[pamcharlie]

A rare talent, wouldn't you say? Having the afternoon cuppa right now. Ooh, that Cinnamon Bun creamer is sooooooo good!

Indeed it is a rare talent , I agree, Cinnamon bun creamer that does sound yummy , i wonder what blueberry muffin creamer would be like .

[Genna14]

Ahh yes, we're three rare and talented l'il Gomers, we are!

[jesus loves me]

Indeed it is a rare talent , I agree, Cinnamon bun creamer that does sound yummy , i wonder what blueberry muffin creamer would be like . i for one do not want fruit of any type in my coffee. candy and spices are a whole other matter.

[pamcharlie]

Ahh yes, we're three rare and talented l'il Gomers, we are!

Yes Two americans and one new zealander yeah .

[Genna14]

i for one do not want fruit of any type in my coffee. candy and spices are a whole other matter.

I am in total agreement *raises coffee cup*


Yes Two americans and one new zealander yeah .

Sounds like the beginning of a bad joke.

[NurseBettyLu]

Empty cup. Sad.

[sandie]

Then fill it up, Beth. :P

[jesus loves me]

A rare talent, wouldn't you say? Having the afternoon cuppa right now. Ooh, that Cinnamon Bun creamer is sooooooo good! found the cinnamon bun and it surely is soooo good! ever try the butter pecan? i don't think that sounds good

[Genna14]

Has anyone ever tried those Carnation Turkey day flavors? The pumpkin spice one was amazing, so was the eggnog! Mmmm

[jesus loves me]

Has anyone ever tried those Carnation Turkey day flavors? The pumpkin spice one was amazing, so was the eggnog! Mmmm at christmas i had the int. delight vanilla spiced rum - more than once(the big bottle). hope it returns this year. yum!

[Genna14]

I'm obsessed with all things pumpkin. You'd think I'd be sick of it seeing as how I spend two-three days each year preparing pumpkin for pies that I make, but I still love it. I wish they'd come out with Pumpkin spice creamer year round. Or maybe I could buy a lot of it and freeze it! lol

[Genna14]

Stepdad makes an amazing pumpkin spice roll. It's the best. I make my pie from scratch every year.

[rossid]

New creamer! CoffeeMate's Cinnamon Bun. This is good enough for people who don't lighten their coffee to try.

I tried that this week too! Do not confuse it with Cinnabon(registered trademark). :D


What about Starbucks closing like 600 stores and eliminating 1200 employees?

[Genna14]

Yeah my best friend works at Starbucks *In Jersey*, and she was telling me about that. I think its pretty screwed up!

[3D NC fan]

Did you see the Got Milk? ad with the Starbucks employee:

Starbucks has recently jumped onto the Got Milk? bandwagon and has selected a Korean-American named Young Han to front its ad.

Han, who beat out several other nominees in a companywide contest, is a store manager from Mountain View, California.

The ad promotes Starbucks' beverages, such as the Grand Latte (which Han holds), as a good source of milk that provides about half an adult's recommended daily allowance for calcium and vitamin D.

[NurseBettyLu]

Starbucks icky. They burn their beans.

[rossid]

You know they use somthing like vanilla shakes to make those mustaches.

[Genna14]

Starbucks icky. They burn their beans.
So you've told us...

[NurseBettyLu]

I like molasses in my coffee.

[Genna14]

I like coffee.

And I hate the SSR.

[jesus loves me]

So you've told us... repeatedly. genna, i'm coming to your house for pie this year.

[Genna14]

From Chicago to Tucson just for Genna's famous homemade *from scratch* pumpkin pie and eggnog??

[jesus loves me]

From Chicago to Tucson just for Genna's famous homemade *from scratch* pumpkin pie and eggnog?? yes indeed. you used the magic words, 'from scratch'. i'll even see if i can find a bottle of 'livewire' in exchange for a piece!

[Genna14]

Lol Well, my family loves my pie and eggnog. I just love making it. I also make the seeds. I soak them in close to boiling salt water for a couple hours *after cleaning them of course*. Then I bake them in the oven till they are nice and crispy. Then I eat them.

They go REALLY fast around here.

[jesus loves me]

I love the seeds. will a pound of coffee mean y'all will save me some? i should see if the store sells them. my mom hated pumpkin but made me the seeds when i was little.

[Genna14]

I'll tell you what, I'll buy an extra pumpkin. I'll make the seeds and send you a package of seeds with a frozen pie.

[jesus loves me]

I'll tell you what, I'll buy an extra pumpkin. I'll make the seeds and send you a package of seeds with a frozen pie. deal!!!

[Genna14]

And yes, a WHOLE pie. I make between 4-6 pies each year, that's what ONE pumpkin yeilds. Imagine two...

[NurseBettyLu]

I just fished a fly out of my coffee. Yuck. New cup, please.

[Genna14]

Ewwwwwww

[HPE89]

How do you like your coffee(besides no flies in it!)?
Black is good...:)

[Genna14]

I've been through this a lot but black or with hazelnut creamer.

[jesus loves me]

Coffee goes well with potato chips with hot sauce.

[Genna14]

And I bet it goes well after birthday "parfait".

[jesus loves me]

Birthday girl needs to let us know!

[NurseBettyLu]

How do you like your coffee(besides no flies in it!)?
Black is good...:)

Sweetened and whitened to within an inch of its life.

[jesus loves me]

Sweetened and whitened to within an inch of its life. do i hear an 'amen' to that?

[truster]

How do you like your coffee(besides no flies in it!)?
Black is good...:)


With just enough cold milk put into it to cool it down to where I can drink it. :)

[HPE89]

Sweetened and whitened to within an inch of its life.

Ewww...;)

[HPE89]

With just enough cold milk put into it to cool it down to where I can drink it. :)

So I suppose no-one can make it for you? :)

[Jason]

Sweetened and whitened to within an inch of its life.

That's not coffee. So, I'm glad to hear you don't like coffee either.

[NurseBettyLu]

When I'm at w**k it has to be black. At all other times I enjoy an interestingly coffee-flavored milk drink.

[pamcharlie]

Coffee , is ideal for us here in new zealand since we have some really chilly weather and we are having snow too.

[jesus loves me]

When i have iced coffee i use lots of creamer but i drink it near black in cold winter when i drink it hot.

[Genna14]

I might have to drink LOTS of coffee tonight. I'm rather upset.

[jesus loves me]

I might have to drink LOTS of coffee tonight. I'm rather upset. what happened to tony? i didn't catch it on the news.

[Genna14]

Thats because the race JUST ended.

Tony got really really sick, had to get out of the car. They stuck JJ Yeley in. I'm just glad that if anyone else had to be in the car, it was JJ.

[jesus loves me]

1- did they say what was wrong with him? 2- have you hit the coffee yet?

[Genna14]

Not exactly, just along the lines of flu-like symptoms and he's dehydrated. And no, I got a 44 of Diet Coke with lime.

[pamcharlie]

Not exactly, just along the lines of flu-like symptoms and he's dehydrated. And no, I got a 44 of Diet Coke with lime.

While drinking my green tea that is really hot because it is so super chilly here today we had an icy weekend here. I hope that tony is well enough for the next race . Flu like symptoms oh dear .

[Genna14]

He'll be well enough to win for me finally at Chicagoland.

[jesus loves me]

A belated birthday gift for you?

[jesus loves me]

Coffee goood with cheese and crackers.

[NurseBettyLu]

Coffee good with PNB sandwich. Try dunking it.

[jesus loves me]

Coffee good with PNB sandwich. Try dunking it. w/or without jelly?

[NurseBettyLu]

No jelly. Folded over bread with PNB, dunkdunkdunk. Very messy.

[jesus loves me]

No jelly. Folded over bread with PNB, dunkdunkdunk. Very messy. my mom did that but with bacon instead of the pnb. messy was goood.

[NurseBettyLu]

[Genna14]

[pamcharlie]

Minus three last night and i was wanting a hot cup of coffee or two to warm up it is terriblly cold here . but i am wearing layer aupon layer to keep warm .

[Genna14]

If I go to Scotland, I'll need a northface jacket and a TON of coffee. Geeze. It's gunna be SO cold there.

[NurseBettyLu]

I'm out of cinnamon bun creamer. Oh, the horror!

[jesus loves me]

[NurseBettyLu]

[jesus loves me]

[jesus loves me]

I'll bring a whole box. A fine southern tradition, I think. the best! thanks. they're made in nashville. want your coffee hot or on ice?

[NurseBettyLu]

Iced if it's really hot. Cinnamon Bun is good in iced cofee.

[jesus loves me]

Iced if it's really hot. Cinnamon Bun is good in iced cofee. it's 10pm and still 85 with a 68 dew point. i think y'all will want yours iced like mine.

[NurseBettyLu]

Iced coffee and a big box fan. Sounds good.

[Genna14]

Iced coffee always gets hot faster in the summer when its humid.

[NurseBettyLu]

Put more ice in it, then wrap a washcloth around the glass to insulate it and soak up the conensation.

[Genna14]

Too lazy.

[NurseBettyLu]

But then you'll have lukewarm coffee and water stains on your nice furniture.

[pamcharlie]

Hmmm, I am thinking that on the way to work on thursday i will hop into starbucks and get a low fat hot chocolate but on second thoughts i will take a couple of green tea bags with me and when i get to work make myself a hot cup of green tea to stop the chills

[rossid]

This has almost dropped out of the "Thread Top 10". :eek:

We have not been out for coffee in maybe two weeks. Had my double-punch decaf 16 ounce from Timbuktuu. Five or six sugars(Raw), half n half, and a LOT of cinnamon. :D

[NurseBettyLu]

Have replenished my supply of Cinnamon Bun, and have two flavors to try: Italian Sweet Creme, and Hazelnut Biscotti. Reviews to follow.

[rossid]

Are these both Coffee Mate flavors?

[NurseBettyLu]

Yup. On sale at Winn-Dixie for 3 for $5.

[rossid]

That is a good price. I looked at HyVee Sunday and none were on sale. I did not even check which flavors were available.

[Genna14]

But then you'll have lukewarm coffee and water stains on your nice furniture.

Ehh. I don't care.

[sandie]

Jarrah Choc o'Lait 99% Fat Free and tastes great! :D

[NurseBettyLu]

Anything invoving both chocolate and coffee can't be a bad thing.

[truster]

[jesus loves me]

Genna - you would love our local Pumpkin Festival every year in September.
Morton IL is the pumpkin capital of the world - 80% of the world's canned pumpkin comes from Morton.

They make all kinds of goodies from pumpkin for the festival. My favorite is the pumpkin pie ice cream. It is DIVINE.

[mindyhere]

It took all I had to keep from making a pot-o-Joe today. I really wanted me some coffee! But I resisted.

:P

[NurseBettyLu]

Another pot of coffee is always in order.

Caramel goes good with everything. ;)

[jesus loves me]

[NurseBettyLu]

I don't see why a woman with superior multitasking skills can't stalk more than one guy...

[ZippyApplePants]

I don't see why a woman with superior multitasking skills can't stalk more than one guy...

I just enforce the rules, I don't make them.

[Jason]

I stalk three women. ;)

[ZippyApplePants]

I stalk three women. ;)

Sounds like a personal problem to me.

[jesus loves me]

Sounds like a personal problem to me. agreed!

[Genna14]

I don't see why a woman with superior multitasking skills can't stalk more than one guy...

I could easily stalk at least 10 of my drivers, they're in the same place every weekend for three-four days! Not hard to follow them ALL around the track. At least it was easy to spot a few in Phoenix. Especially when you stand by the exit where all the drivers leave through. I got a few autographs in there, saw about 10 drivers. I saw one of the driver's brothers pulling into the track *we accidentally went through the driver's entrance hahaha*. Stalking drivers is easy.


I just enforce the rules, I don't make them.

You can't make me!!! :P

[rossid]

Okay I had some decaf this morning but also enjoyed a mug of red tea roobois. :D

[jesus loves me]

Decaf is not coffee, it's brown water!

[Genna14]

Totally agreed. Would you mind telling me what your real name is? I'm just curious..I won't use it to sell you junk.

[jesus loves me]

Totally agreed. Would you mind telling me what your real name is? I'm just curious..I won't use it to sell you junk. y'all can call me laurie instead of my board/gomer names!

[Genna14]

[pamcharlie]

[Jason]

[sandie]

So, it's Genna's bedtime, and you'll be awake for a few more hours before you go back into your box. :P

[Genna14]

[sandie]

[pamcharlie]

[pamcharlie]

You make it sound like a drug! Okay, maybe. Hazlenut Biscotti right now.

I love biscotti so crunchy and yummy perfect with hot chocolate and coffee , there is a fab cafe here in hamilton new zealand called scotts and it has lovely muffins and pecan pie and biscotti and there was this really cool italian waiter there and he was so great and warm and friendly, but unfortuately he died a few years back .

[NurseBettyLu]

I used to work right across the street from a coffeeshop called Carpe Diem. Coffee was so-so, but they had like 20 flavors of biscotti. And live music on Friday nights.

[sandie]

Choc o'Lait for me. Yum! :)

[pamcharlie]

[NurseBettyLu]

The place I mentioned had several dipped flavors, including a lovely white chocolate dipped that was then rolled in almond meal. And the biscotti itself was almond flavored. I still have dreams about that one.

[Genna14]

Hey everyone. Finally home. It was a huge family reunion. It almost makes me sick to think it took a tragedy to bring us together again.

I think that my stomach is full of mostly coffee and half a sweet potato right now.

Welcome back. Yeah, it's sad, but at a certain point in our lives we realize that the only time we see people we know is at funerals. The only time I have seen my family on my father's side since I was a kid was at his funeral eleven years ago. Haven't seen or heard from them since. Go eat something.

[Genna14]

At this moment, I wished I hadn't seen most of them. I tried to eat this morning, I had half a sandwich and couldn't finish it. I might lose more weight from this than I have on my diet.

[NurseBettyLu]

Not exactly a weight loss plan I would endorse. I could have done without seeing most of my dad's folks, too.

[Genna14]

I have too much on my mind to eat right. I get this way when I'm stressed and upset. I guess most people do, but double that up with the fact that my sister isn't in town and a couple other unavoidable monthly things...

Yeah, yesterday, I was constantly by my tia Patsy all day. I was even her representative when we checked her into the emergency after her anxiety attack. She waited all day, till I left, and flat out freakin lied to my tio Renee. She told him my parents were trying to keep the house and all this STUPID crap. I'm so freaking angry with her its not even funny. And I won't even get started on tio Nando. I have so much anger and hurt in my right now that I don't know if I can conduct myself around them in a civil manner.

My mom had hugged me and told me "thank you for being strong for Patsy". Lotta freakin good it does me now.

[NurseBettyLu]

Oh, Genna, I'm so sorry. Nothing like a death in the family to bring out the worst in people.

[Genna14]

Oh, Genna, I'm so sorry. Nothing like a death in the family to bring out the worst in people.
It got much worse today. I'm so angry that I could scream right now.

She wants to give a 'eulogy' and you know what she wants to say? She wants to say how my nana was vain..how she was resentful and bitter that she didn't get an education. She put in like 25-30 years with American Airlines. She had an amazing career and she loved it. She got to travel around the world, its not like she didn't have things she wanted.

Mom told me that I should carry on her legacy by being a world traveller. I don't think there's anything I'd love more.

Mom told me that I should carry on her legacy by being a world traveller. I don't think there's anything I'd love more.

Take care Genna, I send you my love from new zealand , and i really pray that Jesus will help you at this time . A death is a hard thing to face i know since two years ago this week i lost really great friend but i know he is with Jesus .

[jesus loves me]

Genna, i continue to pray for you and your family.

[jesus loves me]

Tried a different flavor creamer - vanilla caramel. still not sure how i feel about it.

[NurseBettyLu]

Just realized that Cinnamon Bun is a special edition flavor. Nooooooo...

[jesus loves me]

Just realized that Cinnamon Bun is a special edition flavor. Nooooooo... yup. i noticed that when i bought it. any day now...

[pamcharlie]

yup. i noticed that when i bought it. any day now...

I wonder why the coffee companies do that produce special edition flavours

[NurseBettyLu]

To drive us crazy.

[3D NC fan]

Finally found Black Silk at Target yesterday, but too rich for my blood at $10.45 per can. Maxwell House 39 oz on sale at Wally World for $6. Bought some of the Coffeemate special edition Tiramisu.

[NurseBettyLu]

I spend my life waiting for a sale on Folgers. Sometimes you get lucky.

I spend my life waiting for a sale on Folgers. Sometimes you get lucky.

Target had a price cut on the regular Folgers, but not Black Silk (I know because I used the price checker). Must buy more White Chocolate Mudslide to go with the 6 cans of Maxwell House that I picked up yesterday. Since it's a limited edition flavor, I'll to have to stage a protest if International Delight stops making it.

[NurseBettyLu]

Usually Winn-Dixie includes Black Silk in its specials on Folgers. Will also stage a protest if they stop making Cinnamon Bun. How can they do that to us???

[3D NC fan]

Our Winn-Dixie stores closed here some time ago. I've seen Folgers in all the stores, but have only found Black Silk at Target so far. You can join me in the letter writing campaign if needed about the limited editions, special editions or world cafe collection creamers from Coffeemate and ID. Another marketing ploy aided at the masses.....

[NurseBettyLu]

That, and the local Coca-Cola strike -- yikes! Not my Coke Zero -- NOOOOOO!!!!!!

[truster]

So I decided when I was in Tyler a few days ago that I was in the mood for a caramel latte. Yuck! I used to love those... but now that I've actually gotten used to real coffee, it just tasted so bland!

[jesus loves me]

To take away creamer flavors we love is cruel and unusual punishment and should not be allowed!

[Jason]

To take away creamer flavors we love is cruel and unusual punishment and should not be allowed!

So it's like unconstitutional?

[rossid]

What should I have today?

[NurseBettyLu]

And immoral. Quite possibly hazardous to my general health and well-being. Where's that toll-free number? Heads are about to roll...

[jesus loves me]

And immoral. Quite possibly hazardous to my general health and well-being. Where's that toll-free number? Heads are about to roll... agreed- count me in!

[Genna14]

Blah!

[NurseBettyLu]

What should I have today?

A French vanilla cappuchino from the Tom Thumb station at the intersection of US 59 and state 31 in Stapleton, AL. No kidding serious good.

[rossid]

Had NO coffee yesterday. At work we have 12 ounce cups. Well some 20 ouncers made there way up here. Got a cup o' decaf and running to Kinkos.

:D

[Genna14]

I accidentally forgot my coffee yesterday when we went out to eat.

[rossid]

But you got some at the restaurant right?

[Genna14]

No I'm rather spoiled when it comes to coffee. I just had some diet soda for the caffeine content.

[pamcharlie]

You can bake anytime of the year, summer or fall or spring or winter . The coffee smell at church on sunday morning was not as strong as what has been in the past weeks .

[NurseBettyLu]

You don't bake here in the summer. Nothing is good enough to rate making the kitchen any hotter than it already is. Yuck. Bought a small can of Folger in a flavor I've never heard of. It was mighty pricey, but when I read the label -- Chocolate Silk -- Made some when I got home. O...M...G!

[jesus loves me]

Chocolate silk? must look for. black silk on sale today - 6.99, thought i'd have a coronary. creamer 2/5. brought home cinn. bun and choc. caramel. i don't even cook on top of stove in summer, beth - not worth it.

[NurseBettyLu]

I hit the Winn-Dixie deli just as they were marking down the leftovers. I won't have to cook for days. Mind you, I love to cook, but not when it's 97 at 90% humidity out there. Good price on Black Silk, that's a stock-up price!

[jesus loves me]

Agreed. am going back for more black silk tomorrow! temp and humidity plunged temporarily. bought bread and lunch meat to freeze for h and h return. wirh we marked down. we did in nashville. you did good!

[NurseBettyLu]

Still inhumanly hot here at 10p. Having a diet Vernor's ginger ale. Arguably the finest ginger beverage in the known universe. I face a crosstown trip tomorrow in brain-searing heat to the only store in this area that carries it. Almost out. Can't have that, can we? Think I'm headed to bed after.

[pamcharlie]

This reminds me i have not had my daily green tea today, will have one tomorrow . i am just sleepy today . I need coffee

[jesus loves me]

Think I'm headed to bed after. i agree about vernors. i think all our major stores carry it. no a.c. in your car? our buses here are either ovens on wheels or refrigerated cars(normally the latter when i travel which is not in rush hour). hope y'all get relief soon.

[Genna14]

I'm so sad...I know that's totally off topic but what is on topic here?

[NurseBettyLu]

I'm so sad...I know that's totally off topic but what is on topic here?

Coffee. Or beverages in general. Or the heat. Or my borderline disgusting habit of eating peanut buter straight out of the jar with a knife. I have trouble with that whole "topic" thing.

[Genna14]

So do I. Eating peanut butter out of the jar is not disgusting.

[English Gomer]

Well I can only drink Fair Trade coffee. I have a thing about drinking Fair Trade coffee :)

[pamcharlie]

Well I can only drink Fair Trade coffee. I have a thing about drinking Fair Trade coffee :)

English Gomer I am so pleased that you only drink fair trade coffee , great what region is your fair trade coffee from since i have some fair trade green tea from sri lanka and it is really lovely .

I am going to submit the coffee cupcakes recipe in the recipe section including 3 other cup cake recipes . (including one with maltesers)

[jesus loves me]

So do I. Eating peanut butter out of the jar is not disgusting. agreed. mine rarely sees a piece of bread.

[Genna14]

I can't really eat it, but its good.

[!SaraJoy!]

Hi! I know that no one in here knows me, but I'd just like to say that coffee isn't that great but frapacinos are the BEST!! haha

[jesus loves me]

Thanks to the 6.99 sale i now have 4 cans of black silk. the choc. caramel creamer is heaven in iced coffee.

[Genna14]

What is it with everyone and creamer?

[ZippyApplePants]

My favorite cream is ice cream. :D

[pamcharlie]

My favorite cream is ice cream. :D

We have a coffee ice cream here in new zealand , love your snoopy avatar , snoopy rules

[jesus loves me]

What is it with everyone and creamer? it makes iced coffee into a delicious summer treat. as good as coffee ice cream.

[Genna14]

Oh yes, I am with you there. I don't really care for creamer in my coffee at all.

[pamcharlie]

Oh yes, I am with you there. I don't really care for creamer in my coffee at all.

Coffee the chocolate companies should make a chocolate especially for coffee fans now that could be interesting . but since coffee and chocolate have cafeine in them the chocolate could have the caffine levels lowered to accomdate the caffine levesl of the coffee .

[pamcharlie]

Just been on the jelly belly jelly bean website and they have two coffee jelly beans , cafe latte and cuppicino

[jesus loves me]

Just been on the jelly belly jelly bean website and they have two coffee jelly beans , cafe latte and cuppicino next time i see a store that sells them 'loose', i have to see if thex have them. my favorite coffee chocolate is made by starbucks.

Yeh, hey my name is Berna, just to keep it simple (it's from Bernadette). Well, my Mum sells Fair Trade so I drink it all the time. We buy it from Traidcraft, www.traidcraftshop.co.uk (Sorry the website is all in £s, not $s)
I used to drink it. I always thought that it was a bit bitter, I drink Jasmine Green tea, so maybe that's different.
I also drink Redbush tea, which is from South Africa.

[jesus loves me]

Thanks to the sale, i now have 4 cans of black silk. we didn't have the choc. silk, we had hazelnut. i'm going to take a bus to our other major chain to see if they have it and different creamer flavors.

[Genna14]

My fave coffee+chocolate is chocolate covered espresso beans. Of course, I tend to get really jittery after I have those, but its probably just the sugar.

[pamcharlie]

Tomorrow i am going to post the new zealand trade aid website address so you can all see the fair trade coffee they sale there . they make they yummiest chocolate too.

[jesus loves me]

My fave coffee+chocolate is chocolate covered espresso beans. Of course, I tend to get really jittery after I have those, but its probably just the sugar. thanks for reminding me about those - it's been a while and i need to get some.

[pamcharlie]

Just savouring a lovely cup of red bush tea . to keep the chills at bay .

[NurseBettyLu]

I have no problems with the cold here. Having a tall glass of Chocolate Silk iced with splenda and half&half. Mmmmmmm.

[3D NC fan]

Hi! I know that no one in here knows me, but I'd just like to say that coffee isn't that great but frapacinos are the BEST!! haha

Coffee very good. Frappuccinos also yesly good!

[Genna14]

I wish I had talent enough to make an iced coffee drink right now.

[jesus loves me]

I wish I had talent enough to make an iced coffee drink right now. pour cold coffee in huge tumbler, add creamer in yummy flavor amd tnp with whipped cream if desired! ice shavings in it are good too.

[Genna14]

We don't HAVE creamer. I'm telling you, this family doesn't use it. My dad has some half and half but its my dad's for his mochas.

[HPE89]

To make iced coffee I just make instant coffee, and then add milk & sugar, and pour it in a BIG bottle-cup-mug-thingy on put LOTS of ice in it! Yum!

[Genna14]

*gag*

I don't do sugar. I'm talking about caramel and chocolate sauce.

[pamcharlie]

All these summer coffee drinks you all are giving me ideas since we are going through a really rough storm at the moment and i hope that the coffee addicts at my church will be able to have their fix tomorrow or they will be techy if the power goes out .

[3D NC fan]

Just finished a Starbucks vanilla Frappuccino - yum!

[Genna14]

We had the aftermath of Hurricane Dolly last night. Omg it was pouring HARD out there. And ironically enough, it happened moments after we got into the car to head out to have dinner.

I guess some little boy was struck by lightning and killed last night too. The storms were stunning though. People ought to stay inside or under cover during lightning storms. Don't they get it?

Anyway...back to your topics..

[jesus loves me]

Just finished a Starbucks vanilla Frappuccino - yum! that's the one i always get. with or without whipped cream?

[pamcharlie]

Vanilla yummy , would vanilla be great with coffee ?

[jesus loves me]

Vanilla yummy , would vanilla be great with coffee ? yes!!

[mammo girl]

Hey, I'm happy with the convienence (this doesn't look spelled right) store White Chocolate Caramel cappucino or the English Toffee cappucino. I know it's not the real stuff but it suits me just fine.

[jesus loves me]

Nothing wrong with where you go. i can only go to 'bucks' when i've been given a gift card. i've had the iced vanilla at mcdonalds and i'm not complaining.

[Genna14]

You know who has really good coffee that surprised me? Burger King.

[rossid]

A cup and a half of mass-produced church coffee this morning.
