Missing: 1 Cup of Coffee
I have a headache, and I never get headaches. What's different this morning? Oh yeah, I thought it would be a nice change to drink water instead of coffee. Apparently, my brain doesn't like change.

Treat lunch
To Pret for a rare treat lunch. I have (had - burp) a ham and egg sarnie, a cappucino - with not one but two sugars - and a chocolate bar. Added to this are an apple and a pack of Frazzles from home. For the missus a chocolate cake and a hot chocolate. Well, she is eating for two.
Yesterday Was Weird ...
I meant to blog yesterday, because blogging is good for the soul and all that. But I never did. In fact, I didn't do much of anything at all. That's because: - I began my monthly five days of It-Ain't-So-Great-To-Be-A-Chick time. You know, cramps, backaches and general blah-itude. - I had what seems...
I'll take a Venti PP (Pike Place)
If working at Starbucks has taught me anything, it's that the drinks people pick out for themselves mirror their personal misgivings. The women who don't want whip cream on top of their frappuccino most likely don't want the cellulite on their thighs. The elderly, who long for their youth, order the...
QotD: I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for Ice Cream!
July is national ice cream month! What's your favorite flavor? Submitted by LittleWiseOne. I didn't know this.. national ice cream month, what a wonderful, wonderful thing... anyway. Coffee ice cream (preferably of the haagen dazs or starbucks variety) is my favorite. Rocky Road is a...
Coffee colored memories
American coffee was the biggest culture shock we had on our first visit to the US. I almost gagged at my first sip of the Starbucks Roast. This was not coffee. Where was the milk? The sugar? The sweet stickiness that was supposed to coat the back of your throat? Several packets of Equal and...
Enough already: Customer service tyranny
Here's an anecdote by my new favorite blogger about a War of Attrition that ensued after he ordered an espresso poured over ice: And the guy at the counter looked me in the eye with a straight face and said “I’m sorry, we can’t serve iced espresso here. It’s against our policy.” The whole...
Coffee recipe

redbull or coffee, that is the question
So I had my first Redbull the other day. Now I know what you're thinking, you haven't tried one until NOW? Honestly I thought energy drinks tasted like ass and that nothing would be as delicious or remotely satisfying as coffee. However, the coffee at my work isn't that great so when I was offered...
Coffee Break Friday - Plane Table
Another Friday’s here and once more we head on over to talk about more caffeine-related subjects. This time, I’d like to focus on something that is just as important as getting that perfect cup of coffee: the coffee table. I bet you’re wondering why the big deal about a table? Well, this...
Tim's Irrational Bike Trip for Coffee and Tee's.
Heyo, Tim's... got time on his hands. Inspired by Milwaukee-based Coffee House Stone Creek's offer to give a free pound of coffee to anyone that visits all their stores, Tim took 'em up on the offer. And did so BY BIKE. Check it on the Stone Creek website here: A few weeks ago we launched our Stone...
Friday the Thirteen
Today this is very topical, it's been getting discussed a fair bit around the internet, me and my tea addiction. But in my defence, I DO like other drinks....these are 13 of my favourites...not in any particular order! Twinings Earl Grey, Twinings Lady Grey, Bubble Tea, Chai Latte, Latte, Pepsi, Jim...
Switch to Decaf!
Ah the times when Fritz and I are together. Oh the magic.
things on wednesday
Not good: Overhearing the barista who just made my iced soy latte telling another customer that she was slightly high on cold medication which she took after waking up feeling all congested and draggy. The quandary: do I ditch the coffee in hand and walk another three blocks to the next acceptable...
Vox Hunt: Up & At 'Em - edited
Show us why you get up in the morning. Submitted by David. This is a very good reason. Also: Also because these two won't let me sleep in anymore:
Nighthawks Bebop
Opening Scene Setting--- "Cup O' Joe" Cafe, on Lexington Avenue. It's 12:37 a.m. and there is a slow and steady crowd that comes and goes as they please. The only thing we hear is the melancholy Mute of the trumpet. It's one of those nights. While the city refuses to sleep the "Cup O' Joe" Cafe...

Coffee is Good
I just love my monthly date with the girls from my youth group. This time we only had three girls come. Because it seems like everyone is on their vacations. Nonetheless, we had fun, laughing and talking. Plus my sister Cameo joined us. I so much enjoy each time we get together, plus i LOVE COFFEE!...

You coffee drinkers out there might want to take heed.
Coffee Break Friday - Drink Selector Mug
Content's been a little light this week, mostly due to the my trying to finish both my thesis novel and getting over what I'd picked up at Residency (no, not writing tips). But I would be remiss if I didn't give you another caffeine-flavored post on Friday since even though I enjoy working, I have...
