The Coffee Thread

[Genna14]

Its debateable but I'd say 90% of us here like/love/enjoy/hate coffee.

So here is a thread to discuss coffee! Everything coffee...yum yum...OH and check out

www.toddycafe.com

Bestest coffee ever! Its cold brewed concentrate and just awesome stuff!!!

[3D NC fan]

Caribou Coffee is my favorite.

Here's a thread that has a link to the coffee shop Tai mentioned on his blog:

[Genna14]

Well, the Toddy is a coffee maker not an actual coffee. You can use whatever coffee you want. Its really just a great way to extract the acid, which is good for me since I have stomach/digestive issues. It really adds to the flavor. My BFF is sending me a free pound of Stabucks coffee since she works there lol.

[pamcharlie]

Coffee, lets see there is coffee cake, irish coffee, iced coffee, etc

Come on Jason, join the dark side. :P Roasted that is, hehe

[NurseBettyLu]

I right likes me some coffee berry berry much. Current love of my life is Folgers Black Silk. Will to live in a cup. Finest organic suspension known to mankind (quoting Captain Cathryn Janeway, Star Trek Voyager. I could get along with this woman, I think). Please, Mr. Fuzz sir, don't kill our thread. We won't make you drink any, I promise.

[Jason]

Please, Mr. Fuzz sir, don't kill our thread. We won't make you drink any, I promise.

Pinky promise?

[NurseBettyLu]

Pinky promise. Both hands. I'm going to get another cup. Offer you a nice cold soda?

[Yoshi]

I've said it before, I'll say it again.. If they took a blood sample, put it in a small cup... They could call it a short black! I donate blood... And have to go a few days without before hand!

I really like a brew made in a tiny seaside village Robe, here in South Australia, called Mahalia Coffee... Mmm...

H.

[Jason]

Pinky promise. Both hands. I'm going to get another cup. Offer you a nice cold soda?

Yes please. Non diet.

[jesus loves me]

I love starbucks americano. i love coffee ice cream and candy too.

[SmileyFreak1981]

There is nothing in the world to equal the pure joy of an expertly prepared cappuccino.

Starbucks is much overrated. Many local coffee places make better tasting coffee by far. I hear from those who had the privilege of tasting early Starbucks that it was much better back in the day. The consensus among those folks is that the massive amount of expansion and corporatization has led to a fall in quality of their product.

I'm cheap, so I make coffee at home most of the time...

And...coffee added to dark chocolate bars is, like, brilliant.

[Jason]

I need Debbie to moderate this thread. It's grossing me out.

[Genna14]

Lol Jason, you should try it sometime. Really, give it a whirl!

I personally love my coffee black. Unless its Hazelnut coffee from Circle K, then I put tons of matching creamer. Yum!

[Jason]

Lol Jason, you should try it sometime. Really, give it a whirl!

After I try rattlesnake maybe.

[rossid]

After I try rattlesnake maybe.Diet rattlesnake juice!!! :P

[3D NC fan]

*the one who drinks vacuum packed Great Value decaf from Wally World hopes his camouflage is working*

Heathen! :eek: **from the one whose husband's favorite coffee is Maxwell House**

[Jason]

Diet rattlesnake juice!!! :P

Sorry, I don't do diet anything.

[NurseBettyLu]

Mmmm...

[pamcharlie]

I was in the supermarket coffee aisle today and there is so much of a variety and i was thinking nurse betty lu would love the coffee choices here the aisle is a live with the smell of coffee

[Lauriegomer]

I love the smell, can't stand the taste. I also don't drink tea of any sort. However, my support alone keeps Diet Pepsi afloat. Especially when you have it on the top shelf on the fridge, and it has little crystals in it. mmmm. I will only patronize certain establishments based on their Diet Pepsi mix. :D

But I digress...

[The Unknown Gomer]

...I donate blood... And have to go a few days without before hand!

Seriously? I donate regularly, and they never say I shouldn't drink coffee before hand. Good thing too, since I get headaches if I don't get my coffee by 11am every day, I probably wouldn't be donating nearly as much.

*the one who drinks vacuum packed Great Value decaf from Wally World hopes his camouflage is working*

Don't think we've ever tried Wally World's coffee, but do sometimes get the grocery store brand. Usually just get it cheap when it's on sale from CostCo, though.

There's a place by campus called Common Grounds... Their coffee makes me very, very happy. (esp. since it got me through two all-nighters to write my music history paper!)

Reminds me of the coffee place on "Friends": "Central Perk". I always thought that was cute.

After I try rattlesnake maybe.

Heard it tastes just like chicken. :P

And...coffee added to dark chocolate bars is, like, brilliant.

Chocolate covered espresso beans from World Market! They make for a great late night snack if you need to stay awake all night for any reason. :D

[NurseBettyLu]

Have I mentioned lately that I really like coffee?

[kiwisongbird]

Starbucks isn't coffee, it's a beverage - now for real coffee come to Thailand we have many different types - I like Doi Chang coffee, and Nacha - Nacha is organic and really yummy - Wawee is too strong and makes me dance and giggle and leap around - 94 is ok - loads of coffee here!!!!

I have to confess though that at Christmas time I do enjoy going to Starbucks and have a special Christmas, creamy coffee type thing to drink - it's my treat cos it costs heaps compared to other coffee - mostly though I'm a tea drinker...

Sharon LJ :)

[rossid]

Sorry, I don't do diet anything.That's the point you dunce. :P

[SueQ]

Just give me caffeine....although I have discovered Green Tea lately and am pleased...then there is almond tea......and a little sweetener...fake or real....and you can "drink" your almond cookie......yum!

[pamcharlie]

Have I mentioned lately that I really like coffee?

Yes nurse betty lu, you have and that is great, now let me see here in new zealand we have a coffee company called Greggs and they make this strong smelling coffee that they call the red ribbon roast .

And if you have a fair trade store see what type of coffee they have there from other countries since we have a trade aid store here and they have this coffee from south america and it is tastes better than store brought coffee so i have been told.

if i search out some new zealand coffee company websites this week i will post them here for you.

[jesus loves me]

I love starbucks espresso roast, dunkin' donuts french vanilla and folger's dark roasts. at c'mas i love starbuck's c'mas blend.

[Jason]

In Frankenstein voice, "Coffee bad."

[rocker]

Starbucks is the BEST!

[jesus loves me]

No, coffee goood!!

[rossid]

[NurseBettyLu]

I love starbucks espresso roast, dunkin' donuts french vanilla and folger's dark roasts. at c'mas i love starbuck's c'mas blend.

Hate Charyucks. They burn their beans. Dunkin Donuts is pretty good. Love Folgers Black Silk. Two best cups of coffee in the known universe: At the Tom Thumb station in Stapleton, AL at the intersection of US 59 and state 31, and the Grand Casino in Biloxi, MS. The Grand uses pure Kona, grinds every pot fresh, and makes a fresh pot every fifteen minutes. If they closed down the casino and just opened up a coffee shop, I'd still go.

[jesus loves me]

I love burned beans which is why i love starbucks! a friend said i may like" black silk" so maybe i should try it when i need to buy coffee again.

[NurseBettyLu]

Yes, black silk is worth a try. A very hearty dark roast without that cloying burnt taste I dislike.

[jesus loves me]

Thanks for the 'black silk' review. i definitely will buy it now that someone's tried it.

[SueQ]

In Frankenstein voice, "Coffee bad."

OK, now, I know you have to moderate this thread but you don't have to be posting those hatin' words, Jason......

[kiwisongbird]

I just gave away three pots of Folgers - Cinnamon, Vanilla and Hazelnut - they all smelled wonderful and the Hazelnut one I tried was yummy, but we freaked out when some got on our fingers and the smell of the flavouring stayed ALL day - what kind of chemical is that??? Anyway it was given to us and now we have given it away...

Nicodemus drinks 3 in 1 - which is Nescafe instant mixed with sugar and creamer - just pour on hot water! He likes it - but I don't think it's what you REAL coffee drinkers would call coffee...

Kevin drinks organic Arabica grown in the hills of Thailand and freshly roasted, then he grinds it for his cup and puts it through his little expresso maker... guess that's real coffee! :)

[freakysoccer]

i love coffee with sugar...the vanilla frappachino from starbucks is amazing. i'm a caffine addict, i get headaches if i dont' get some caffine daily.

[NurseBettyLu]

Tried to go decaf once, it wasn't pretty.

[Genna14]

I can live without coffee but I can't live without Dew...Its a sick sad world out there without caffeine.

[jesus loves me]

A day without coffee is like a day without sunshine- drab and colorless (must have it with caffeine too)

[NurseBettyLu]

Must have cookies to go with.

[Genna14]

Mmm nothing like Oreos with a cup of steaming coffee from BK

[Jason]

Oreos good. Coffee bad.

[NurseBettyLu]

Jason, I'm starting to get the impression you're not much of a coffee drinker.

[SmileyFreak1981]

Biscotti goes well with a cappuccino. Yummy!

[Jason]

Jason, I'm starting to get the impression you're not much of a coffee drinker.

Never had it.

[jesus loves me]

Biscotti goes well with a cappuccino. Yummy! it most certainly does!

[NurseBettyLu]

I'd rather have tollhouse, or oatmeal raisin cookies. Ah, well, bedtime. Must go set the coffeemaker.

[jesus loves me]

Anyone know if there's a coffee flavored cookie on the market?

[Jason]

Anyone know if there's a coffee flavored cookie on the market?

Let's hope not. :P

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

I have avoided this thread like the plague until now, simply because I detest coffee. Tasting it, that is. It smells delightful.

[SmileyFreak1981]

Anyone know if there's a coffee flavored cookie on the market?

I haven't heard of one, but if I find one I will be eating that cookie!

[Genna14]

Anyone know if there's a coffee flavored cookie on the market?
That would be heavenly!

[truster]

Anyone know if there's a coffee flavored cookie on the market?

Don't they have those in tiaramasu? (I don't think that's spelled right...)

[NurseBettyLu]

No, the cookies in tiramisu are plain ladyfingers. However, they are soaked in expresso, so I guess that counts.

[Tattooed_Lefty]

I'm a sumatra guy. Or Blue Mountain from Jamaica.

[Jason]

Again, otter pops good. Oreos good. Coffee bad.

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

I had some tiramisu once. Not the greatest thing I ever tasted.

[Tattooed_Lefty]

I had some tiramisu once. Not the greatest thing I ever tasted.I would kill a drifter for a lifetime supply of tiramisu. Okay, maybe I wouldn't go that far.

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

We can only hope.

[SmileyFreak1981]

I've had tiramisu that had Kahlua in it...it was pretty tasty. I've had Kahlua flavored coffee too. It's really good!

[jesus loves me]

Don't they have those in tiaramasu? (I don't think that's spelled right...) i don't know. i do know tiramisu comes in coffee creamer because i'm using it!

[pamcharlie]

Oh While i was supermarket shopping today i was in the coffee and tea aisle again , as for the badness of coffee , i have read that coffee has health benefits if taken in moderation. the key is moderation. oh shock horror probe guess what happened last week my green tea went missing but i brought a new box today. i am like nurse betty lu when it comes to coffee i love green tea.

[Genna14]

Charlie stole it.


Actually coffee is very bad for the stomach if you drink too much. The acidity content can eat at your lining. This is why I am buying the Toddy Coffee Maker (http://www.toddycafe.com). It takes out 65% of the acid in coffee. I need to if I want to continue drinking coffee, I already have gastro issues lol.

[The Unknown Gomer]

Tried to go decaf once, it wasn't pretty.

Bleh. Brown water. Completely useless as a beverage.

No, the cookies in tiramisu are plain ladyfingers. However, they are soaked in expresso, so I guess that counts.

Usually soaked in rum as well, most of the time I think.

Any Italian restaurant that serves a really good tiramisu will get us as repeat customers.

To do my impression of Jason:

Tiramisu goooood! :P

[3D NC fan]

I've had tiramisu that had Kahlua in it...it was pretty tasty. I've had Kahlua flavored coffee too. It's really good!

Kahlua good! I love amaretto creamer in my coffee and International Delight has a new one called White Chocolate Mudslide that is most excellent. Kona coffee is good when you can afford it. :)

[NurseBettyLu]

I would kill a drifter for a lifetime supply of tiramisu. Okay, maybe I wouldn't go that far.

I'm with you. I'll hold him down for ya.

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

I'm with you. I'll hold him down for ya.
Have you no shame? At least he said he might not go that far.

[mindyhere]

Coffee ... LOVE the stuff. I drink about a half pot every day. yeah ... I'm addicted.

I just tried a Creme Brulee flavor - Folgers brand, and it was DELISH.

I usually buy Eight O'Click brand - vanilla or hazelnut. I like to try different flavors every now and then. I'm into flavors.

:D

*eek* You must be using the dark board theme. That font color barely shows up in the white version. *eek*

[jesus loves me]

Loved the white chocolate mudslide creamer - found it at a store by a friend. i also like the italian sweet cream in addition to the tiramisu one.

[jesus loves me]

What are y'all paying for coffee? i went to pick up the folger's black silk and it was just under 12 bucks (it will remain there until a sale)!

[Genna14]

Toooo much. My BFF works at starbucks and has claimed she's gunna send me a free pound of coffee...I've yet to see it......

[Jason]

To do my impression of Jason:

Tiramisu goooood! :P

That was scary.

[lilmikey]

you bunch of coffee addicted heathens. Im telling God on you guys.:eek: :) :D ;)


BWHAHAHAHA

Im not much of a coffee drinker but I do like one with Irish cream every now and than

I love all things Irish including the creamer

[mindyhere]

*eek* You must be using the dark board theme. That font color barely shows up in the white version. *eek*


Yeah - I just noticed it today. I've been swtiching back and forth. Been working on fixing them.

:)

[NurseBettyLu]

$9.99 here. Waitng for a sale myself.

[rossid]

About $2.80. Remember I use the tragically cheap and flavorless vacuum package Great Value from Wally World.

[NurseBettyLu]

How sad. Intervention may become necessary.

[Genna14]

I must agree Beth...

[NurseBettyLu]

Had a fine cup of coffee today at -- now this is a suprise -- Japanese Imperial Steakhouse. Go figure.

[jesus loves me]

You just never know where a good cup of coffee will be found!

[Genna14]

Dude we're selling Tiramisu coffee at work now. Trippyyyyy

[jesus loves me]

And genna is this a coffee add in or is the coffee itself tiramisu flavored? i want some!

[Genna14]

Nope its a bag of ground coffee, flavored like Tiramisu.

[jesus loves me]

No fair!!

[Genna14]

LOL start drinking black coffee then.

[pamcharlie]

Coffee , Coffee, Iwas at church yesterday in the morning and we had our coffee break and i was thinking about this thread and i was wondering if they use coffee in muffin recipes for coffee muffins

[jesus loves me]

I don't know but it sounds good to me! i once substituted coffee for the water in a brownie mix.

[Kansas Wheathearts]

I don't know but it sounds good to me! i once substituted coffee for the water in a brownie mix.
Hmmm 2 favs in one!

[jesus loves me]

That was my thought too!

[pamcharlie]

Coffee wait a moment my friends i will check for that website just a moment here it is www.greggs.co.nz check it out nurse betty lu i know you will enjoy the coffee and recipes too.

Some coffee companies put different flavourings in the coffees like vanilla and cinammon etc what do you think of those ?

[NurseBettyLu]

Thanks, I'll check that website outwhen I have a little more time. I, for one, do not care much for flavored coffees. I like my coffee, well, coffee-flavored.

[jesus loves me]

Cool website! lots of easy recipes. thanks. i like coffee with and without flavoring. i tend to prefer it flavored when it's iced.

[pamcharlie]

You're welcome , Coffee smells great yesterday during worship i could smell the warm smell of the coffee brewing for coffee break .

[Jason]

You're welcome , Coffee smells great yesterday during worship i could smell the warm smell of the coffee brewing for coffee break .

[pamcharlie]

I baked a coffee cake once but the recipe called for a split in two cake tins but the whole mixture was put in one tin and while baking made a huge mess in the oven .

If only some one could invent a way to remove the coffee grains out of the sugar bowl when someone places their coffee spoon in the sugar .

[NurseBettyLu]

Use a dedicated spoon that goes nowhere but the sugar bowl. Tragedy here -- the coffee filter collapsed and there are grounds all in the whole pot. *sob* Another solution to the coffee-in-the-sugar dilemma -- use sugar cubes and tongs. Also very elegant.

[pamcharlie]

Oh no the coffee fliter oh no can you replace it hope so, thanks for the suggestions for the sugar coffee problem.

[NurseBettyLu]

It was just one of those paper filters that goes in the Mr. Coffee, but it did ruin the entire pot of coffee. Broke my heart to have to pour it down the sink.

[jesus loves me]

http://www.coffeerecipes.org/ thanks genna i found a cake i want to make. i need to write down more another day.

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

My family and I went to Olive Garden for lunch today, and I was so afraid they were going to bring me some tiramisu because that's what they did the last time I was there on my birthday, but they didn't! So I didn't have to worry about not eating what they gave me. Silly thing to worry about, I know.

[pamcharlie]

I have a tiramisu recipe that i will submit, we had a work morning tea once at work and one of my work friends there brought some tiramsu in and it was an interesting taste experience .

[jesus loves me]

Lol! i love your thought that tiramisu was 'interesting'! i'm not sure what is all in it to be honest.

[Genna14]

Never had it

[NurseBettyLu]

Never had it

INTERVENTION!!!!!!!!

[pamcharlie]

It was interesting because it had a strong coffee taste to it and the texture was quite interesting and crunchy .

[jesus loves me]

My grocery store sells single serve slices of it once in awhile. must check next time i go, see if they have any.

[Genna14]

INTERVENTION!!!!!!!!
Ya know if I could find some that cost less than my entire dinner did, I'd have tried it by now.

[pamcharlie]

Food prices are going up incredibly here too, oh it is shocking i hope that the price of coffee doesn't go up. at the moment it is autumn over here and the price of fish is very high . but milk , cheese are very expensive for most people .

[jesus loves me]

Everything i've recently -except fresh produce has gone up. i'm still waiting for a coffee sale.

[NurseBettyLu]

May have to go ahead and buy -- can see the bottom of the can.

[pamcharlie]

Coffee? did someone say coffee ? I have two recipes for the coffee fans here .

Recipe 1

Coffee Bread Pudding

Serves 8-10

4 cups day old french bread cubes
2 Tbsp. brandy or maple syrup
1/4 cup raisins
2 cups light cream (if using thick cream, thin with milk)
2 cups milk
1/2 cup strong coffee
6 eggs, at room temperature
1/3 cup butter or margarine, softened
3/4 cup sugar

Preheat oven to 170oC. Place bread cubes in baking pan. Dry in oven for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside. In small bowl, pour brandy or syrup over raisins, set aside. In medium saucepan, heat cream, milk and coffee to scald. Meanwhile, in mixing bowl, beat eggs with butter. Gradually add sugar, beating until smooth. Stir in brandy or syrup with raisins. Gradually stir in scaled milk mixture. Pour over bread in pan and let stand for 45 minutes. Preheat oven to 170oC. Bake 1 hour or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Serve warm or chilled.

Recipe 2

Tiramisu

This is the classic recipe for Tiramisu purists, no rum, no crunchy bits, no fruit, just pure, light texture and lingering flavour. People are often shocked by the few ingredients of this recipe. After seeing thousands of strange Tiramisu variations with so many unnecessary components, what is actually a traditional classic becomes again very refreshing in its perfect simplicity.

500g Mascarpone cheese
500ml heavy cream
6 eggs
200g sugar
lady fingers or dry sponge cake
coco powder, extra bitter
250ml freshly brewed espresso

Whip mascarpone, cream, eggs and sugar together on medium speed setting till thick, cut sponge to the shape of the serving container then dip in espresso, layer into serving container with mascarpone, mixing alternating layers of sponge and mascarpone. The top layer in mascarpone dusted with coco powder.

Enjoy my coffee loving friends.

I will search for a coffee cake recipe too.

[NurseBettyLu]

Yummy, Pam. Thanks!

[jesus loves me]

Yummy, Pam. Thanks! ditto! can't wait to try.

Our church has a coffee time too, but I don't usually have time for a cup(please forgive me), because this is my time to play my guitar and sing for the coffee drinkers. I love my coffee steaming hot, all the way down to iced. There is no "wrong" temp. for me. Coffee!

[Genna14]

I need coffee right now.

The health report on fox news has reported on the health benefits of coffee drunk in moderation it is very interesting that way back in the 70s and 80s there was alot of bad press about coffee but now it has been found that coffee is good for you in moderation.

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Your courtesy is refreshing.

[NurseBettyLu]

Just be glad this isn't the loon thread. You know what courtesy is like over there.

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Whatever do you mean? What could it possibly be besides courteous?

[NurseBettyLu]

Of course, what was I thinking? But srsly, I miss my coffee. Doesn't even sound good right now. I really could go for a Minute Maid Light Orangeade and a sleeve of Saltines.

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Yum. I could do that all the time.

[pamcharlie]

I been so sick the last few days I haven't touched a drop of coffee since Tuesday.

Oh no nurse betty lu , hopefully you will be able to enjoy your coffee again soon.

[Genna14]

did they by chance say how much was 'moderation'?? green tea is the only tea i really dislike. ever have white tea?

No tea is ever bad except for Lemon Zinger with too much sugar/honey/sweetener. That stuff is simply ICK. I <3 green tea with Splenda or a venti iced green tea sweetened from Starbucks..


Same laugh to you, with a great big germy raspberry added in for good measure.

You sound like me, only the coffee makes me feel better. I also had some Lipton Black Pearl with honey yesterday. That was so nice. My parents had to get me some honey for it since we dont generally drink hot tea in the summer unless me or stepdad is sick.

I got a cold on Friday night. It would just figure that as soon as finals finished, I got sick. *sighs*

Last week I bought more filters for my coffee pot. When I opened it to use them this weekend, I realized that I'd bought the 4 cup kind, instead of full size.

:rolleyes:

They're a bit shorter than the regular size. Thought for sure I'd have grounds in my pot, but got lucky and I haven't.

Anyone tried Gevalia? Maybe that's been talked about already here, but I haven't read all of the posts.

I have some leftover from when they sucked me in with their free coffee maker order. Want some? ;)

[mindyhere]

Me too! :P

I actually really like Gevalia coffee, but I couldn't use it up fast enough when I joined years ago, so quit the shipments because of that.

My Mom says that you can adjust how often you can get it now though. May think about getting it again.

[Genna14]

I've never had it, but it sounds like it would be good in my Toddy maker.

I'm telling you people, try the Toddy. It removes 65-70% of the acid, therefore making it better on your stomach. It also tastes amazing.

[pamcharlie]

I would really love a hot chocolate at the moment might have one on friday when i am walking to the children's ministry conference.

[mindyhere]

You just reminded me. Ever mixed hot chocolate together with coffee? YUM!

[NurseBettyLu]

Big yum. Still no coffee, but I started eating regular food today, so maybe tomorrow.

[pamcharlie]

Take care nurse betty lu, go easy on the coffee at the moment until your tender tummy is up to digesting all the coffee.

[Genna14]

You just reminded me. Ever mixed hot chocolate together with coffee? YUM!
Good stuff!

[NurseBettyLu]

Thanks, Pam. Not rushing things. I'm going to wait until it actually sounds good. But I have tolerated food really well today, so I seem to be on the mend.

[pamcharlie]

Excellent, Enjoy the coffee when you have some .

genna, i've never tried green tea on ice. i think i need to check that possibility out. hope you feel better.

[NurseBettyLu]

I was thinking about trying that fair trade coffee that Tai was talking about in his blog. Coffee for a good cause sounds good to me.

[pamcharlie]

Great idea since there are so many coffee brands out there and fair trade coffee is really great .

Iced coffee is good! Go to Caribou Coffee and ask for a Coldpress with a shot of white chocolate and a flavor shot of raspberry. YUM!

[mindyhere]

I tried iced coffee at McDonalds once - it was TERRIBLE. But I've heard others say it's bad there too. I need to give it another chance, maybe. :)

[Genna14]

The Wolf- Is that.....coffee?

Granny Puckett- *nods*

The Wolf- *takes coffee and sighs* I can't believe I'm doing this. *hands coffee to Twitchy* Drink up.

Twitchy- *takes coffee, drinks it, goes crazy* COOOO FFEEE YEAH BABY!!

The Wolf- Go get 'em boy.



For those of you who have not seen it, watch this scene, at least, from Hoodwinked. Funny stuff.

Yes I know that scene in hoodwinked and that is why rabbits especially evil rabbits should not drink coffee Caffine fixes can be dangerous boucing off the walls .

[jesus loves me]

Silly Pam. Twitchy was the squirrel, not the rabbit. The rabbit was Boingo.

[pamcharlie]

[Genna14]

Yes, but that didn't work, so then I was trying to get you to say I was a cute newborn.

We helped. Back to subject: I'M OUT OF HALF&HALF!!!! Only got that nasty powdered stuff. Emergency trip to Winn-Dixie may become necessary.

[Genna14]

I dont put that shameful stuff in my coffee.

Black, dark, tasty coffee. I need me some flavor, not milky sugary flavor. *gag*

[NurseBettyLu]

Oh, dear. A schism in the coffee thread. To lighten or not to lighten -- maybe this belongs on the CE/HT forum.

[3D NC fan]

Oh, dear. A schism in the coffee thread. To lighten or not to lighten -- maybe this belongs on the CE/HT forum.

Definitely to lighten......preferably with flavored creamer.

[Genna14]

I only ever use flavored creamer on Hazelnut coffee and then it must be Hazelnut creamer.

[jesus loves me]

We helped. Back to subject: I'M OUT OF HALF&HALF!!!! Only got that nasty powdered stuff. Emergency trip to Winn-Dixie may become necessary. nasty powdered stuff - what a perfect description of the stuff! i should give half and half a try.

[pamcharlie]

Oh at conference , there was coffee aplenty, i was thinking where is nurse betty lu, there is plenty of coffee for everyone and her here.

[Genna14]

There's never enough coffee for her.

[NurseBettyLu]

There's never enough coffee for her.

A truer statement has never been posted on these here boards.

[Genna14]

A truer statement has never been posted on these here boards.
Don't we know it.

[pamcharlie]

We also had some of the yummiest food for morning and afternoon tea and some really lovely soup too for lunch but do you know boys and girls where i went for dinner and i have mentioned this place before ?

[jesus loves me]

I give up. do tell.

[NurseBettyLu]

And guess where I gota go in the AM? Here's a hint: I can see the bottom of the coffee can.

[jesus loves me]

How many guesses do i get? grocery store? favorite coffee house?

[Genna14]

I think I'm going to makes myself some black tar. After the race Tony had, I think I need some.

[NurseBettyLu]

How many guesses do i get? grocery store? favorite coffee house?

Wally World after a can of Folgers Black Silk. Can't wait for a sale. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

[Mandy Robbins]

Thank goodness our local Bent N Dent has 8 o'clock coffee for 79 cents a bag.

[Genna14]

I heard that stuff is awful.

[NurseBettyLu]

I heard that stuff is awful.

8 O'Clock? Yeah. Eww. Sorree, but...eww.

[Genna14]

I dont buy coffee that costs less than $4 a pound. Its generally awful.

[NurseBettyLu]

Coffee is one of those things -- generally speaking, you get what you pay for. However, I have been exposed to some really awful really expensive coffee in my life. Also on the eww list is anything with chicory in it.

[Genna14]

I dont know about chicory, but I probably won't try it now. I personally don't like the new S'bucks blend a bit.

[truster]

I had a French press of Organic Sumatra Peru last week. It was amazing.

[NurseBettyLu]

Sounds nummy. I like French press.

[jesus loves me]

8 O'Clock? Yeah. Eww. Sorree, but...eww. caribou is on sale at the store. any thoughts on it if you've tried it?

[Genna14]

I tried the Caribou coffee breakfast bars. Nummies!

DIE SSR DIE

[jesus loves me]

Wally World after a can of Folgers Black Silk. Can't wait for a sale. Desperate times call for desperate measures. so you haven't had a sale either. i'm dying to try it.

[jesus loves me]

I tried the Caribou coffee breakfast bars. Nummies! DIE SSR DIE those are good aren't they? did you get your tar made after the race? lots happened on the track last night.

[pamcharlie]

Coffee Everywhere, Oh have you tried some biscotti to go with your coffee

[jesus loves me]

Yes. there's one i love with almonds and a chocolate covered bottom. yum
