Three Things...Gratitude Thread

[goofyernmost]

1. My grandma S- she drank coffee all day and her house always smelled like hot coffee. Any time I smell coffee I think of her.
2. Mocha- DH and I enjoy Mocha- there was a little place a couple miles down the road that had delicious mocha. It always helped get rid of my migraines there was so much caffeine. BUT I can't have dairy anymore and they went out of business.
3. DS- my son enjoys a cup of coffee often.

My fathers family lived on perked coffee. No other type would do. When I visited my grandparents for a few day each summer, my bed was on the second floor and the smell of perked coffee permeated the whole house. Funny thing though, as much as I loved the smell I never latched onto coffee as a beverage. My father always had a cup of coffee close at hand and I honestly never noticed if my Mom did or not. The rest of the family though lived on black coffee and cigarettes. I guess it's not surprising that none of them lived past their 60's. I like subtle coffee flavors, like Coffee Ice Cream and Tiramisu, I can't remember when the last time was that I drank a cup of coffee. Both of my children are just casual coffee drinkers socially. I have one grandson that is heavy into French Press, but he is the only one out of four.

I don't drink coffee either! It's too bitter, but I LOVE the smell of it. My grandma lived to be 95 and her coffee was perked too. She always had a cup of coffee in her hand and her house smelled of coffee.

OK…my entire post disappeared, so I will make this short.
I love making my drip coffee every morning. I love the smell, the brand and variety (Peet’s Major Dickinson) the tiny bit of cinnamon and nutmeg I add to the filter, the half and half, and the constant re-heating with my microwave.
