Coffee & Tea Talk

[artiemom]

Boring here..
Yesterday was a repeat of the day before:
Peet's Brazil roast with Almond milk/coconut milk creamer, by Califa
Green Mountain Decaf with creamer
Barry's Decaf tea with creamer and one packet of Sugar in the Raw, and creamer... after supper.

This morning:
Peet's Brazil Roast with the last of the creamer... along with oatmeal and flax cup from Bobs Red Barn Mills.

The SB near me has been closed for several days!!! Also another one in an adjacent city... This makes me nervous. I was there a week ago...
Now, I am kind of wary of getting any take out...
I cannot find any info on the web about it... Only from my SB app... They are supposed to re-open today.. Now it says it is still closed... OMG>.. I am thinking Covid... It is the only one closed, except for the Airport...

Not hitting anywhere for takeout.. I am glad I used the drive through the last time I was there.. dam

The same happened here, i.e. the closest two Starbucks by us closed. It's because one or more of the employees tested positive for Covid. The one we prefer to go to closed a second time so I won't go back at least not for awhile. I'm apprehensive about the drive-thru as well since they don't wear gloves when they're making your drink so I'm skeptical about going there too. I realize you can't live in fear but for now I'm making my own coffee or tea from home. It's cheaper too, lol.

You're making me jealous, the first time I had a Vietnamese iced coffee, also called Cafe Sua Da, was near my daughter's apartment when she was living in NY. It was amazing, so rich and flavorful. What I wouldn't give for one now!

Thanks, I looked it up and it's called a phin. Now will you come to my house and make it for me, (just kidding).

sweet with condensed milk in it

I tried putting sweetened condensed milk in my coffee once, but it was way too sweet! Maybe I made it wrong though.

#1 Maxwell House Decaf, Aldi sweet cream creamer, 1Tsp clove sugar
#2 Maxwell House Decaf drank black
#3 Maxwell House Decaf, Aldi vanilla almond milk, 3TB Yankee Traders vanilla cappuccino

We have 3 containers of Decaf that I'm trying to use up. I have a headache though, because of lack of caffeine.

When I was weaning off caffeine while trying to conceive, I would mix half decaf and half fully caffeinated coffee grounds and it wasn't as big of a difference/no heachaches. I'll probably do the same when we want to try for number two, but it might not hurt to do while you're using up your decaf as well so you do get a bit more caffeine.

Except that he doesn't drink coffee, he mostly drinks tea and an occasional chai latte. But that's ok, more coffee for me.

Ain't got one of those yet. I'm working on it.

Juist here sipping on my evening Green Tea.

 

[maggiedemi]

just make sure he is a cat lover to

Of course. A cat lover and not a hunter! I looked up one guy that I had a crush on 20 years ago and his whole Facebook page was about hunting and cooking animals. Blech.

Today I opened the vanilla cappuccino from Nuts.com, I just made a cup with vanilla almond milk. Next I will try making it with water and maybe add some instant coffee.

Yes! That's my type of hunting. Gotta find a guy that likes coffee hunting with me.

just make sure he knows to share the last cup

 

[maggiedemi]

I'm playing around with my vanilla cappuccino from nuts.com today. I'm trying it all different ways, with water, with milk, half milk/half water, with brewed coffee. I'll try it with some instant coffee later.

I have been putting Immune booster Tea shots into my Green Tea lately. The Tea Shot has Elderberry, Kabucha, and a bunch of medical mushrooms in it. It comes in a cherry flavor. Not bad. I thought it was going to taste nasty, but it was all right.

Just thought I would mention this, if anyone want to try it out. Knock on wood, I haven't come down with anything yet.

I thought of this thread this morning when I saw the Garfield comic.
