Would you rather eat coffee grounds on your pizza or coffee beans in your hamburger patty?
Would you rather only be able to consume your coffee using a straw or a spoon?

If we were having coffee, I would share my “would you rather” answers. I would rather eat coffee grounds on my pizza. A few grounds mixed into the pizza sauce sound okay. I would rather consume my coffee using a spoon.

If we were having coffee, I would ask you if you know how much I love ice cream. Years ago, I challenged myself to try different blizzard flavours at Dairy Queen. It was a lot of fun and a successful way to expand my tastes. This summer my challenge—it isn’t a healthy one—is to eat my way through the hard ice cream menu at the local ice cream place. To date, these are the flavours I have had a scoop of:

Fireside Delight
Rum & Raisin
Raspberry & Cream
Praline & Cream
Swiss Mocha
Donut Grow Up
Heavenly Hash
Strawberry
Orange Pineapple
Banana

If we were having coffee, I would share that I’ve been out on my paddle board. It’s my first time using one, and I enjoy it. My boys have picked it up too. The problem now is that we only have one board and three of us are eager to use it.

If we were having coffee, I would pass you the cold brew and sit back to hear about your week.
