Coffee Lover


Let's talk about coffee for a moment, shall we?

I bring this up today because I was talking to my sister on the phone as I left the house this morning and forgot my purse. So I have no lipgloss, no debit cards, nothing! As I realized I'd not be purchasing my usual venti-iced-coffee-sweetened-with-whole-milk, a big black cloud settled in over my brain.

I soon got over myself and am currently drinking the coffee brewed in my office and guess what? It tastes like coffee used to taste...like regular coffee. That might not make sense to you, but my Italian/Spanish grandparents began giving me coffee when I was roughly 7 years old. A lot has happened to coffee since then. I sweeten my coffee at home with chemicals that taste like hazlenut. The coffee I order while out and about is mass-produced and sweetened with some form of liquid sugar.

This doesn't even touch on the cultural side of things, but hey. I look forward to coffee every morning and more than that, I crave an iced coffee in beautiful weather {which we've been having lately}.

What's your relationship with caffeine? How do you take your coffee?

I. Love. Coffee. But I live in Sweden now and it is a major deal here. Swedes consume more coffee per capita than any other nation. We really don't mess around. I love strong coffee, with some milk (preferably low-fat) and a little sugar (preferably natural, ie brownish). Yum.
