I love coffee in the morning. I love the first swallows of it where you feel it go all the way down to your belly, warming you as it goes. I love the taste of good coffee that is prepared right. Luckily, I am married to a former barista who knows more about coffee than I ever thought possible. And she knows how to brew it just right and how much ½ and ½ I like. No sugar for me, thank you.
I was feeling pretty crappy this morning even after my dose of Motrin and Claritin. My ankle hurt, my head was groggy, I felt tired, and my armpits hurt from the crutches. I just did not want to face the day. But as I sat here blogging, that talented former barista brought me a beautiful steaming cup of Ethiopian Sidamo. After a few drinks, I felt so much better. I actually felt like I could do the crutches again, armpit pain be damned. Coffee is the elixir of life. I bet Jesus likes it too.

As you know I am your Connection To Jesus, I can assure you that he does. Coffee and cigarettes, that's our Jesus!
What is it with Americans and half and half? Why don't you guys use milk or cream? I always chuckle when I go to the States and I can only find little half and half containers... LOL
P.S. I'm deeply jealous at your living with a coffee expert! I should put that on my "want" list for an ideal match... :)
I always wonder what half is what. I don't like milk because it is too thin. Especially skim. and don't even get me started on when I was all veganish and tried to do soy or rice milk in my coffee. BLECH!!!!!!!!
As for cream, lord, I can just hear my arteries clogging as i think about pouring it in my cup of coffee.
Also, It is a huge bonus to be married to one who is a fomer Starbucks Partner. Some day, I hope she blogs about the silly Starbucks terminology and philosophy.
What's the American version of the cream Canadians put in their coffee? We have light cream & heavy cream here.
Is half and half any different than light cream? Is it like somewhere between light cream and whole milk?
I don't drink coffee so I don't have to worry about such things. My drinks of choice at Starbucks are Chai latte (full dairy please) or strawberries & cream frappucino (yes, whipped cream please). Mmmmmmmm. Luckily I have maybe 1 a weekend, not 1 a day.
Oh, AJWP - please explain why, when I get unsweetened iced tea, they say "no classic" to the barista. Can't they just say "no sweetener"? I think it's crazy. Every time I happens I remember that I want to ask you, but then I forget again.
I'm the bus driver and I'm taking you to school: "Classic" is classic syrup, aka simple syrup, aka sweetener. It's fancy Sbux-speak, doncha know.
