The Coffee Thread

[Genna14]

I had an upset stomach today, couldn't finish my morning coffee. Perhaps I'll try later.

[elby65]

I am sooooo bad. I'm enjoying an iced caramel coffee. I had caramel ice cream topping that I added along with milk to my coffee, then put the thing on ice. Sooooo tasty! mmmmmmm! First coffee I've drunk in (I think) 3 weeks. See, if you don't have your coffee, you can't remember a thing!!!

[rossid]

BK stinks BUT I have not had but one or two since they added Turbo Joe.

I don't like caramel...

[Genna14]

Yeah they totally changed up the coffee at BK, its the same Toddy concentrate I drink at home. Worth a try.

I can't believe you don't like caramel! I like it better then chocolate.

[HPE89]

Caramel better than CHOCOLATE??!! :eek: No way hosea! :P

[jesus loves me]

The only negative here is that I'm back to Folger's singles as they don't drink coffee. Brought my creamer with this time. It's better than no coffee at all.

[Genna14]

Caramel better than CHOCOLATE??!! :eek: No way hosea! :P
Yes. Caramel is MUCH better than chocolate. And its JOSE. White people *shakes head* :P

[jesus loves me]

Yes. Caramel is MUCH better than chocolate. And its JOSE. White people *shakes head* :P There is a black anchor man on one of our news stations and his name is Hosea and he pronounces it "Jose". Never did understand that one. I vote for chocolate and caramel combined. :)

[NurseBettyLu]

Found the following in the magazine section of today's paper: "No need to feel guilty anymore about that double-shot Americano that gets you going in the morning. In fact, coffee is looking more and more like a health drink.Among its remarkable benefits, new research shows, coffee may reduct the risk of diabetes, heart attack, gallstones,Parkinson's disease,kidney stones and cirrhosis. One caveat is that black coffee may lead to thinner bones, especially in women, but the simple solution is to add milk to your coffee." (Parade Magazine, July 27, 2008, "Foods To Keep You Healthy (or not)" by Dr. Mark Liponis) Cool, huh?

[Genna14]

Just another list of reasons of why coffee is amazing.

[NurseBettyLu]

Jason, can I borrow your word? Indeed.

[pamcharlie]

Yes there are plenty of health benefits in coffee , however there are some people who still put coffee in the no go zone health wise

[3D NC fan]

that's the one i always get. with or without whipped cream?

With of course!

I saw that article and immediately thought of you! ;)

[pamcharlie]

Where ever i go past starbucks i think must not in nurse betty lu doesn't like the coffee there they burn the coffee

[Genna14]

I love Starbucks! Their houseblend sucks though.

[NurseBettyLu]

Yup, good ol' Charyucks.

[pamcharlie]

Soon at my church we are having a Girls only day and we have coffee at morning tea and lunch and also some other hot drinks and this year the theme is LOVE

[NurseBettyLu]

Sounds like our Red Hat Society. I'll suggest iced coffee drinks as a theme for our next meeting.

[jesus loves me]

Yup, good ol' Charyucks. I resisted the urge to take my gift card and get a frappuccino today. I wanted to start blasting my ears out with "Revelation"!:P

[pamcharlie]

Sounds like our Red Hat Society. I'll suggest iced coffee drinks as a theme for our next meeting.

Cool , our little conference is called saturate and we have some great worship, disscussion groups , prayer stations and cafe and lounge and a pampering room and a great guest speaker i can't wait . i am looking forward to hanging out with friends and making new friends too, and also embracing Jesus more and the theme this year is LOVE .

[jesus loves me]

I am going to finally have some iced coffee. I am so amped up from the cd today and just seeing them on Leno that I won't sleep for hours anyhow - even though today is a relatively pain free day.

[Genna14]

Am I the only one who has NOT recieved their cd in the mail?!!?

[NurseBettyLu]

Nope. *sits and stares into empty mailbox* I got a fresh pot of Black Silk on. Come on over and we can cry in our coffee together.

[jesus loves me]

I bought mine at the store yesterday. Can I still come over for coffee - I'll bring my copy so at least y'all can read the liner notes. Hope yours comes SOON.

[sandie]

The underperforming Starbucks stores in OZ are going to close. That's 63 or thereabouts out of over 80 stores, with 600 jobs lost. This was one of the main news stories here yesterday. They must be facing stiff opposition from the independent cafes here, and Gloria Jeans.

[3D NC fan]

There are Starbucks stores closing here as well. I may have mentioned this before, but I much prefer Caribou Coffee. :)

[Genna14]

We dont have Caribou Coffee here. We have certain stuff in the stores from them, but no shops. I'd like to go to one of their shops.

[3D NC fan]

We dont have Caribou Coffee here. We have certain stuff in the stores from them, but no shops. I'd like to go to one of their shops.

We have the Caribou Coffee bars in the stores. I think you would really like the atmosphere in their shops. Very laid back. They are located in 18 states primarily in the eastern and midwest areas of the US.

[Genna14]

I love Caribou Coffee bars! They got me through many an early morning on my way to school in fall 2007.

That would explain why I've never seen one. I live in AZ, we only have Starbucks and the West Coast's Seattle's Best.

[rossid]

Oh they were everywhere we went the last two days in Minnesota!!!

[Genna14]

I found that their coffee is more expensive by the pound than Starbucks.

Caribou has a really good pumpkin bread around Thanksgiving. I tried Seattle's Best in the airport once.

Oh they were everywhere we went the last two days in Minnesota!!!

And I know you stopped there for a coffee, right? :)

[NurseBettyLu]

I got my cd! I got my cd! *does happy dance* I got my cd! Coolest album art e-vah! Yeah, y'all can still come over for coffee. Listening party. Supper even. Homemade tamales from Peter's mother. Yummers!

[jesus loves me]

I got my cd! I got my cd! *does happy dance* I got my cd! Coolest album art e-vah! Yeah, y'all can still come over for coffee. Listening party. Supper even. Homemade tamales from Peter's mother. Yummers! I'm on the way! :D

[NurseBettyLu]

She also sent over a salsa verde that would scorch the hair out your nose. Mmmmmmmmmm...

[jesus loves me]

Don't think I have a nose hair but I'd gladly eat it anyhow!!! :P

[pamcharlie]

While doing my baking on wednesday and i was thinking about this coffee thread and here everyone here is some chocolate brownie and chocolate chip cheese cake to savour and enjoy with some coffee . i plan to bake some chocolate chip cookies and muffins next week . also listen to tne new cd while savouring the goodies

[sandie]

There are Starbucks stores closing here as well. I may have mentioned this before, but I much prefer Caribou Coffee. :)

That's right. It was mentioned on the news here as well.

[Genna14]

Caribou has a really good pumpkin bread around Thanksgiving. I tried Seattle's Best in the airport once.



Oooo Pumpkin!

[NurseBettyLu]

Perfect day for coffee and a treat. Cool, overcast, occasional thunder. Pretty much constant gentle rain. What to have for supper? In a quandry.

[sandie]

A quandry won't taste good, unless it's served with coffee. :P

Do you have raisin toast and banana bread as your main foods served with coffee in the morning at cafes?

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Let's talk about tea. I like tea.

[sandie]

Let's not. :P

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Why ever would you say that? ;)

[Genna14]

OK Beth, now I've recieved my CD and I will wear my NEW Third Day shirt to the partay!

[NurseBettyLu]

Okay, got colored sharpies out, y'all can help me design my new Gomer tee.

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

You've got orange. What other color could you need?

[Genna14]

Sounds like fun! Hey, I'm out of coffee over here!

[Genna14]

You've got orange. What other color could you need?
The shirt is orange you dork. Orange sharpie wouldn't show so good on orange shirt.

[NurseBettyLu]

You've got orange. What other color could you need?

But if you write on an orange tee with an orange sharpie, it's darn difficult to read. Genna's out of coffee. I just popped a new can of Black Silk. Who wants to do an all-nighter?

[Genna14]

But if you write on an orange tee with an orange sharpie, it's darn difficult to read. Genna's out of coffee. I just popped a new can of Black Silk. Who wants to do an all-nighter?
I'm up for an all nighter! Well I would be but I'm walking with my sister to the museum tomorrow. Hometown vacay for me this year.

[NurseBettyLu]

And I got a continuing education class tomorrow. Must do in order to maintain my nursing license. "Legal/Ethical Issues: Compliance to HIPPAA Regulations" Sounds exciting, huh? Who wants to come along? French Vanilla Capuchino at Stapleton Tom Thumb on the way. Truly the nummiest coffee in the universe.

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Yes, I know that orange won't show up on orange. But whatever you're going to write on it can be written in black. No other colors needed.

[NurseBettyLu]

But I want it freakishly loud.

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Whatever floats your boat.

[NurseBettyLu]

I'm thinking design something on the computer and print it out on a t-shirt transfer, iron it on and color it. The loud and tacky possibilities are endless.

[Genna14]

Thrilling.

But I want it freakishly loud.

I somehow believe you can manage that.

[NurseBettyLu]

I may drop dead of boredom.

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

BREAKING DAWN!!!!!!

[Genna14]

BREAKING DAWN!!!!!!
Yes, I know dear. You know what would be cool. To start a Gomer book exchange. I have some books I have read that I could send out, if anyone wants to do it, PM me!

[NurseBettyLu]

Sleepytime tea time. With just a titch of raw local honey. Tasty AND good for hay fever.

[jesus loves me]

Moved to another home with a.c. today. they serve coffee here. folger's french roast.

[NurseBettyLu]

Coffee AND a/c? Talk about landing on your feet!

[jesus loves me]

Yup. As soon as air can be installed in my steam box, I can go back home and have coffee and a.c. at MY place. Getting tired of living out of suitcases. :D

[NurseBettyLu]

Air and coffee at home! Sweet. Now all we have to do is get you proper internet access and you'll be set.

[jesus loves me]

I DREAM of that. A Mac book and internet service and I will have everything my little heart desires. Wouldn't even care that I don't have cable. :D

[NurseBettyLu]

Who needs cable? Just more channels of nothing to watch.

[jesus loves me]

what do you mean? The FoodNetwork!!!! Paula Deen for one. But yeah, if I ever can have something I'd prefer this hands down. I'd rather hang here with other 'psycho fans', have YouTube etc. and NOT have to wait until 9:01 p.m. to go 'on line" mobile web style. I have officially been declared 'disabled' by Social Security and will get a settlement, so who knows...

[Genna14]

I'm watching the Princess Diaries with my sister.

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Who needs cable? Just more channels of nothing to watch.
That's what I say.

[pamcharlie]

The Princess Diaries is a great movie and i love it and the sequel too. We had some really yummy muffins today in toddlers church and it was really busy today too.

[Genna14]

We're out of coffee! :eek:

[sandie]

You can have one of mine. I'm having my first coffee of the morning. :D Always important in Winter.

[Genna14]

Yeah but its summer, calls for cold coffee. Actually, the weather has cooled a lot lately.

[sandie]

It's cool here and the heater is on this morning.

[pamcharlie]

We are out of coffee , No Way , I have been to the supermarket , here is some new zealand coffee for you all .

[NurseBettyLu]

Out of coffee????? Oh, the horror...

[jesus loves me]

That, is a food emergency.

[NurseBettyLu]

Hear, hear.

[Yoshi]

I have to say re: Starbucks closing...

IT WAS CRAP COFFEE!!!

Cibo's all the way... For a real coffee experience (Marochino... Awesome...)..

GJ's is good for a coffee to sip while catching up with friends... Irish Nut Creme... MmmMmmm..

I want a machine at home though, I miss frothing my own milk and drawing a good shot!

[NurseBettyLu]

I won't miss 'em. They burn their beans. Yeah, my disdain for charyucks is legendary on these here boards. Imo the finest coffee in the known universe can be had at the Grand Casino in Biloxi, MS. Pure Kona, they fresh grind every pot, and make a new pot every 15 minutes. If they closed down the casino and just opened up a coffee shop, I'd still go. After that is the coffee at the Tom Thumb in Stapleton, AL at the intersection of US59 and state 31. No kidding. I never kid about coffee. No. 3 on the list is the Japanese Imperial Steakhouse in Mobile, AL. Great coffee at a sushi place? Strange but true.

[jesus loves me]

Beth, burned beans are good beans. don't encourage yoshi in your ill will towards my 'beloved'! to be honest, since you intro'd me to black silk, uh well i don't love my beloved as uh i once did 'hangs head in shame'.

[NurseBettyLu]

It is because I have shown you the True Light. My work here is done.

[jesus loves me]

It is because I have shown you the True Light. My work here is done. i shall be eternally thankful, sister. in glory i shall run to meet you in person, bearing a large mug of coffee and creamer of your choice.

[NurseBettyLu]

Cinnamon Bun from coffeemate. And don't run with coffee, you might trip and spill it.

[jesus loves me]

You're right. i'll walk it over to ya.

[rossid]

General Foods "International" :P
On The Go Vanilla Latte
artificially flavored coffee house drink

1. EMPTY contents into your favorite cup or travel mug.

2. POUR 1 cup (8 fl. oz.) hot water over contents. Be sure to leave room for the foam. For best results, water should be hot, but not boiling. For an even richer and creamier indulgent taste sensation, use milk instead of water.

3. STIR gently until velvety layer of foam appears.

4. PREPARE taste buds for the remarkably rich flavor they're about to experience.

5. IF DESIRED, add cinnamon, nutmeg, chocolate syrup, or whipped cream onto foam.

6. ENJOY your delightully indulgent drink and take pride in knowing that you're better than any old barista.


There are also instructions for iced frappe.

But to get a laugh search Brian Regan's pop tart comedy routine on YouTube. THAT will make you roll as far as food preparation instructions.

Yoshi needs no encouraging... i used to work at a cafe, and I'd throw out milk if I thought was burnt or incorrectly frothed... I have VERY high standards... Given I know how could I can make my own coffee...

[jesus loves me]

Yoshi needs no encouraging... i used to work at a cafe, and I'd throw out milk if I thought was burnt or incorrectly frothed... I have VERY high standards... Given I know how could I can make my own coffee... Will you come over here and make us some coffee? Do you do iced with whipped cream on top for summer? :P

[NurseBettyLu]

I'll bring muffins.

[3D NC fan]

I'll bring muffins.

I just bought blueberry muffins that will go well with a cuppa coffee. They had cinnamon bun muffins too.
Shall I pick those up on the way? :)

[NurseBettyLu]

Oh, do. The more the merrier. Somebody bringing lemon poppyseed or banana nut?

[jesus loves me]

I shall bring chocolate something - any requests as to what the 'something' should be?

[NurseBettyLu]

Chocolate covered expresso beans.

[jesus loves me]

Sounds good to me. I'm assuming they can't be from Starbucks. :P

[NurseBettyLu]

Target has a nice brand, in a cute chubby little jar. Brand is called Choxie.

[jesus loves me]

Didn't know that. The friend who I shop with most doesn't shop Target. I DO have another friend however who DOES. Next time I see her maybe I can pick some up.

[Genna14]

I can't believe we're at almost 60 pages on this thread.

[jesus loves me]

What can we say ? Coffee addicts need a place to hang to discuss our addiction! :D !

[sandie]

Addiction. Never!!! I'm out of coffee today, but dandelion tea tastes fine until I grace the supermarket with my presence.

It doesn't matter what Aussies think of Starbucks coffee. There are few outlets left now! (I spotted one yesterday in the City.) We have mainly independent cafes, rather than franchises. Gloria Jeans is the main coffee chain here.

[pamcharlie]

Here in Hamilton new zealand we have some coffee shops here like Starbucks , Robert Harris Coffee , the coffee club and wild bean cafe at a service station . as well as some other top notch coffee places .

there is this really amazing cinema where you can enjoy a coffee or hot chocolate while enjoying the movie they bring the coffee etc to you .

[sandie]

We have a single screen family-owned cinema nearby where drip flitered coffee costs $1.80, comes with 2 biscuits and is served in a china cup. :)

[jesus loves me]

Now that's a classy way to have your coffee served!

[sandie]

Yes, and it's just over half the price of a cup of coffee. :)

[NurseBettyLu]

Off tonight, want a cup of sleepytime.

[jesus loves me]

Just nuked the one cup of coffee they left in the pot for me. Brought my cinnamon bun creamer out here. I'll leave it here as my friend really likes it (that is if there's any left when I leave - and it's looking iffy at this point)

[3D NC fan]

It would be nice to leave them some creamer, but you might need it more. :)

[NurseBettyLu]

Leave me some, too. In a nice frsh cup of black silk, preferably

[jesus loves me]

No Black Silk here. The darkest they will go is French roast which is what I drank until Beth intro'd me to the 'silk'. Yeah, I have a,c, here so I'm drinking it hot again and don't really need a half cup of creamer in it like I do iced. I think if I go back to the normal amount of usage for hot she'll have some left. Actually I can use the vanilla soy milk I brought for me and then I COULD be assured that she'd have it when I left.

[pamcharlie]

Chocolate cake all round . enjoy with the coffee my friends

[3D NC fan]

Anyone got a double expresso shot? I'm sleep deprived and need a major caffeine boost!

[jesus loves me]

Wish I could help, but I could use one myself! *pours cup of french roast, nukes, adds vanilla soy milk.*

[sandie]

I have a coffee Elaine, or I did. Went down well with porridge. :D

[NurseBettyLu]

Mmm, double expresso shot. A darn fine sleep substitute.

[Genna14]

I'm incredibly irritated. Seems there's a perfectly good reason for it though. All you ladies know what I mean.

Anyone ever tried those Caribou Coffee bars? I'm craving one. I've been craving random stuff lately.

[3D NC fan]

Anyone ever tried those Caribou Coffee bars? I'm craving one. I've been craving random stuff lately.

I almost picked up a box of the mocha Caribou Coffee bars at Target, but got distracted by the bagged Caribou coffee on clearance! And they had a small can of Folgers Chocolate Silk. :)

[Genna14]

I might get some hazelnut coffee this week. I'm ready for a change of pace.

[3D NC fan]

I might get some hazelnut coffee this week. I'm ready for a change of pace.

Target had some of that on clearance too. **I'm a sucker for a bargain**

[Genna14]

Well I might have to buy clearance because I'm totally broke.

[NurseBettyLu]

Too hot to move. Having iced Chocolate Silk with Italian Sweet Cream. Mmmmmmm.

[3D NC fan]

Too hot to move. Having iced Chocolate Silk with Italian Sweet Cream. Mmmmmmm.

I'll get some more Chocolate Silk for you tomorrow. Did I mention that Target has it on clearance? Prolly won't be there much longer. :)

[truster]

I bought my first very own coffee maker yesterday! If I can get someone to let me borrow a mug (I forgot mine at home), I'm gonna try it out tomorrow... yum!

[jesus loves me]

Too hot to move. Having iced Chocolate Silk with Italian Sweet Cream. Mmmmmmm. Haven't found the Chocolate Silk yet. I may just try adding chocolate. I love the Italian Sweet Cream when I don't really want lots of flavor. I did get another bottle of White Chocolate Mudslide out here. My friend tried it iced and she liked it. Found Mocha Marshmallow but as I go home Monday I didn't get it. Hopefully they still will be making it when I come back out here.

[mindyhere]

I've started drinking coffee again. =D

[3D NC fan]

I've started drinking coffee again. =D

Welcome back!

[Genna14]

I've started drinking coffee again. =D
Praise the Lawd!!!!

:P

[NurseBettyLu]

I've started drinking coffee again. =D

Welcome back to the dark side. We have biscotti.

[Genna14]

Who needs biscotti when we can have chocolate chip scones?

[NurseBettyLu]

Can't we have both?

[Yoshi]

One of my treats while doing the laundry at the laundromat - there's a cafe across the road that serves Mahalia Coffee - which is roasted in a tiny little town called Robe in the South East of South Australia... Best... Coffee... Ever...

(but then, being a former south easter, I might be biased!)

And it's washing morning... ;)

[energizerbunney]

whoa coffee is dominating. is it true that coffee makes you short?

[NurseBettyLu]

I'm 5'11". Nope. I've also heard it would turn you black. I'm the palest person I have ever seen.

[Yoshi]

whoa coffee is dominating. is it true that coffee makes you short?

mmm... there might be something to that... I'm the shortest guy in my family... And the biggest coffee addict...

I am still pretty pale though!

[pamcharlie]

I know that this sounds like a silly question but can coffee clear up sinus infections since i have one at the moment

[Genna14]

I'm 5'11". Nope. I've also heard it would turn you black. I'm the palest person I have ever seen.
Then you must not have ever seen Dale Jr. with no shirt on. Its sick.

[NurseBettyLu]

I know that this sounds like a silly question but can coffee clear up sinus infections since i have one at the moment

Nope. But it might help with the pain, as caffeine is an ingredient in many painkillers, such as excedrin or goody powders. When I'm down with a migraine a strong cup of black coffee helps me almost as much as narcotic painkillers. The two combined is a surefire remedy.

[NurseBettyLu]

Then you must not have ever seen Dale Jr. with no shirt on. Its sick.

Spare me, please. I don't feel well today. And I'm certainly not in the mood to wait five seconds!!!!!!!

[Genna14]

Spare me, please. I don't feel well today. And I'm certainly not in the mood to wait five seconds!!!!!!!
I wont put you through that, just take my word for it.

[jesus loves me]

Found the precious chocolate black silk out here. also picked up folger's choc. truffle. be busy when i get home!

[NurseBettyLu]

Choc. Truffle?????? I'll be right over, headache and all.

[jesus loves me]

Choc. Truffle?????? I'll be right over, headache and all. :) yes m'ame choc. truffle. comes in a bag instead of a can. c'mon over. my friends are nice and won't mind.

[NurseBettyLu]

Cool. I'll bring Hershey's Kiss Thumbnail cookies, or as my sister calls them, Nipple Cookies.

[NurseBettyLu]

Oh, and I found this today. Cool.

[Genna14]

LOL! Nipple cookies? Hahahahaha

That dog is adorable.

[NurseBettyLu]

Haven't you ever wanted to do that to a freshly opened can of coffee? Snifffffffffffffff...ahhh hhhh...CHOOOOOOO!!!

[Genna14]

I've never had coffee grounds up my nose. I'm smarter than that.

[jesus loves me]

Haven't you ever wanted to do that to a freshly opened can of coffee? Snifffffffffffffff...ahhh hhhh...CHOOOOOOO!!! wanted to - haven't. seems like it'd be like an illegal drug: coffee snorting.

[NurseBettyLu]

One day somebody's gonna figure out how to freebase the stuff.

[Genna14]

I'd go for that. Or just walking in to Coffee Xchange or Seattle's Best and sniffing for a few minutes. You might look strange doing that though.

[NurseBettyLu]

I already look strange.

[Genna14]

This I believe. I have seen one 50x50 picture of you. It was hard to tell what you really look like.

[NurseBettyLu]

Hmm, let me see if I can find something better.

[jesus loves me]

Gotta love those pics. where are you sniffing, drinking, making coffee? beth = coffee.

[NurseBettyLu]

I'm evidently on some sort of chemical in that pic with the reindeer. I know there was coffee at my auntie's birthday party cos I'd just gotten her a cup. Doesn't she look great? She's 90! Oh, and coffee with a splash of Bailey's at my sister's wedding. Or more like Bailey's with a little splash of coffee...

[Genna14]

Interesting...

Heyyyy Stellar Kart. Don't they sound like ALL the other bands these days? Eh, they're not bad. They remind me a little of FOB. Hmm...I haven't listened to FOB in a while...

We're going down down in an earlier round and sugar we're going down swinging...

[jesus loves me]

Home. am without creamer so didn't open the choc. silk or choc. truffle. too tired today to go out for groceries. hopefully tomorrow as i'm dying to try these coffee's!

[NurseBettyLu]

Went to wally world for groceries today, and did not find Cinnamon Bun. :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: Found another Coffeemate creamer called Cinnamon Vanilla Cream. Not bad, but will take some getting used to.

[Genna14]

*gasp* No cinnamon bun?!

[Jason]

Heyyyy Stellar Kart. Don't they sound like ALL the other bands these days? Eh, they're not bad. They remind me a little of FOB. Hmm...I haven't listened to FOB in a while...


Did you know that Stellar Kart is from Phoenix? :)

[Genna14]

Did you know that Stellar Kart is from Phoenix? :)
Nope I can't say that I knew that. Pretty cool!

[Jason]

Nope I can't say that I knew that. Pretty cool!

Yup, I thought so. Ever hear of the Christian rock band Sky Harbor? I'll give you three guesses as to where they're from. ;)

[bajagill]

Oreos good. Coffee bad.

Oreos good, coffee w/ big ol' meat 'n eggs 'n taters w/ sausage gravy and Tabasco breakfast GOOD, Pepsi rocks!

Oh, forgot, must have sugar ( 4 cubes/ tsp.). Creamer optional unless it's fr. vanilla :D)

[Greyshades]

COFFEE

[sandie]

No!!! A horse! :P

[Greyshades]

No, it's a burro. Juan is just extremely short. :D

[sandie]

Is this Juan, the patron saint of night shift nurses? :P

[Greyshades]

Se.

Senor Valdez. With hees donkey.

[sandie]

Muchas gracias, senor.

I hope I got that right. :P

[Greyshades]

I don't speak Spanish. So I can't tell. But, you're welcome.

[sandie]

Even the horse understands more Spanish than either of us do. :P

[Genna14]

Yup, I thought so. Ever hear of the Christian rock band Sky Harbor? I'll give you three guesses as to where they're from. ;)
Actually I HAVE heard of Sky Harbor! My dad used to have their cd, I really liked them.

[3D NC fan]

OK, which one of you bought the Folgers Chocolate Silk that was on clearance at Target?
Went back to get it yesterday and it was gone! :eek:

[Genna14]

Not me, I only have enough money for milk and grape juice this week. Pay day comes and I'll be getting hazelnut.

Actually I HAVE heard of Sky Harbor! My dad used to have their cd, I really liked them.

I think Sky Harbor is a cool name for a Christian band from Phoenix.

[NurseBettyLu]

Tx for the picure of Juan! Gonna see if I can reduce it enough for a new avatar. Don't like the Cinnamon Vanilla Cream. Too sweet.

[Genna14]

Fresh pot on right now. Everybody come on over. Hey, somebody bring filters, I'm almost out.

[sandie]

Thanks for the invite. I'll be a while. :)

[NurseBettyLu]

Gotta go shopping for some cinnamon bun, this new creamer isn't very good.

[Genna14]

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Too much caffiene can never be bad.

[jesus loves me]

[jesus loves me]

[sandie]

Delivered by a donkey, no less. :P

[Yoshi]

Delivered by a donkey, no less. :P

Figure that's why it's taking a while..

Feel sorry for anyone that sees me over the weekend, before I can restock... I'm gonna be a mean, grumpy ol' man..

[rossid]

Done a latte a few times recently. Chai yesterday...

[NurseBettyLu]

Winn-Dixie has Cinnamon Bun! Whew.

[3D NC fan]

Wally World has Black Silk AND Chocolate Silk. Who da thunk it?

[sandie]

What is Cinnamon Bun? :confused:

[jesus loves me]

What is Cinnamon Bun? :confused: a flavor of creamer. everyone has their coffee and creamers. life is good.

[sandie]

What's wrong with milk or cream? :confused: We do have creamers here, but I haven't tried any. They aren't popular, though many varieties of coffee are.

[Greyshades]

I recently acquired "Tiramisu" creamer.

Not bad. But I'm a simple man, and I don't care too much for all the bells and whistles. Gimme a cup, some joe, and a scoop of cream n sugah...

[sandie]

Are you sure you're not Australian? (Apart from the simple comment.) :P

'Cup of joe' isn't used here, either. I know what it means from the Boards. You people speak a strange form of English!

Ditto that minus the cream and sugar. I like my tar black.

[Greyshades]

Java.

Joe.

Tar.

A Cup of Bean. That's what I usually say. tobyMac got me hooked on that.

[Genna14]

Liquid caffiene.

[sandie]

We'd only know Java, as a type of coffee. Otherwise, it's a cup of coffee, amazingly. :P

[Genna14]

Let me just say.....................

I WANT A MOCHA SOY LATTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!


You should watch Brad Paisley's "Celebrity" video. Hilarity.

[NurseBettyLu]

My personal coffee slang: Cup of drugs, Will to Live. Anybody ever hear "barefoot" as a slang for black coffee, or is that totally regional?

[Genna14]

Sounds totally regional. I prefer to call it virgin. Ok I just made that up, but it fits!

[NurseBettyLu]

Cool by me.

[jesus loves me]

I love soy milk - not in my coffee though.

[Yoshi]

Coconut coffees... Well, that's what we used to call Soy milk coffees!

My girlfriend's just started drinking the stuff... I can't stand it!

[Genna14]

Soy milk is good. I'm not sure about soy milk coffee, never had it.

[jesus loves me]

I used my fave soy in it and yuck. then i tried soy 'creamer' and that was wretched. soy just doesn't go good in coffee.

[Genna14]

Yeah it doesn't seem like it would be good.

[sandie]

I like soy milk in coffee.

[3D NC fan]

Lite White Berry from Caribou Cofee this morning - yum!

[Genna14]

Mmmm that looks amazing.

[3D NC fan]

Mmmm that looks amazing.

It is! My favorite drink. I've ordered it so much that they start making it when they see me walk in the door. :)

[Genna14]

Haha I wish we had a Caribou Coffee here.

[sandie]

First coffee of the morning. Next, I'm going to wake up.

THe USA seems to be dominated by coffee chains. I like our independents. It was back to the Villa Capri yesterday, now I'm working at a college for three weeks. :) Great coffee, and it's away from the crowds below. The man there always thinks I'm Sara, not Sandra. I've forgotten his name too.

[pamcharlie]

I agree there. But I have to say Seattle's Best is really really good. We have some local coffee joints I like.

[jesus loves me]

One called 'metropolis' by me is good. i think we only have a couple in the area. they have outstanding desserts as well.

Metropolis we have a restaurant cafe by that name here in hamilton new zealand they make the best iced chocolate and yummy foods by far .

[Yoshi]

I had my fave coffee this morning... Mahalia Coffee is the bomb!!!

[Michelle714]

My favorite is a tall ice white chocolate mocha with chocolate wipe cream at Starbucks!

[pamcharlie]

At church on saturday at the womens conference i wanted marshmellows in my hot chocolate to savour but there were none so disappointed

[rossid]

Went back to Timbuktuu for maybe the first time in the last month for my decaf. My buddy puts in Sugar In The Raw, half n half, and honey.

The $0.99 cup is now $1.18 before tax. After it looks like $1.05 to $1.25

On Tuesday we go from the 12 ounce up to the 16 ounce and get double punches. It went from $1.27 to $1.40 after tax.

Okay?

Still cheaper than Gas?

[rossid]

Not quite brother. :P

128 ounces divided by 12 = a little more than 10 cups of coffee per gallon

10 cups times $1.25 equals $12.50

[jesus loves me]

Iced folgers choc. truffle with it. sweet creme and a bag of popcorn with cayenne. ahh!

[pamcharlie]

[Greyshades]

Are you sure it's not just the numbers?

At any rate, I don't like math either. My bad.

Dunkin' Donuts Cinnamon Spice coffee is grrrr-eat.

I don't know what it is, really. I just freak out when it comes to math, mostly. I am pretty good at figuring out people's change, but I'm comfortable with that. I have been doing customer service for about 3 and a half years.
