I hover over the Keurig maker this morning watching the liquid stream out and make small sputtering and splashing sounds. The stream looks almost frothy as it flows into my waiting cup. The smell of sweet coconut drifts off the liquid in my cup. The liquid itself is a reddish hue around the edges of… Continue reading Pie Flavoured Coffee Series: Coffee 6

Pie Flavoured Coffee Series: Coffee 5
The dominant smell is apple. It is almost a green apple smell with a sugary overlay. The taste is reminiscent of caramel and it leaves a lingering candied aftertaste. The temperature is just right and each sip of my apple crisp macchiato slides down smooth. If we were having coffee, I would share with you… Continue reading Pie Flavoured Coffee Series: Coffee 5

Pie Flavoured Coffee Series: Coffee 4
Is a cobbler a branch on the pie-family tree? Shoulder shrug. For the purpose of my Pie Flavoured Coffee Series I am including this fruity dessert here. The exotic smell of blueberry fills the kitchen. Its sweet and fruity odour is the dominant sniff in this coffee. There is no sweetness in the flavour. It… Continue reading Pie Flavoured Coffee Series: Coffee 4

Pie Flavoured Coffee Series: Coffee 3
The powerful smell of nutmeg is the star scent in my mug this morning. It is sweet and earthy smelling. There is no hint of sweetness in the sip instead it is both warm and earthy in flavour. Yet it is a spicy sip that if savoured can be described as a wash of fall… Continue reading Pie Flavoured Coffee Series: Coffee 3

Google shows a pastel coloured no-bake mousse pie with a chocolate crumb crust. That first sip reveals none of the flavour… Continue reading Pie Flavoured Coffee Series: Coffee 2

I was drawn to a particular Keurig pod this morning. One of my favourtie flavours of pie is pecan. So when I saw pecan pie flavoured coffee I had to brew it. There is a buttery sweet odour to it. The colour in my mug is a classic deep rich brown. As I take that… Continue reading Pie Flavoured Coffee Series: Coffee 1

Coffee in the pre-Christmas build up
The smell of sweet spices rises from my mug: ginger, cinnamon, allspice and cloves. A true gingerbread smell captured in a hot cup of coffee! That honey and molasses odour conjures up warm and cozy holiday feelings. My first sip of Brooklyn Bean Roastery Gingerbread Man brown sugar ginger coffee is no let down. Those… Continue reading Coffee in the pre-Christmas build up

Platforms? Options? Choices?
This year I have been writing a novel and the novel is finished in rough. It is interesting in the wake of finishing a rough draft one would think that there is down time. However, this is far from the case. The editing starts and there are so many more things to consider and to… Continue reading Platforms? Options? Choices?

That last chapter – the end is just another beginning
This year I have been writing a novel and as I happily shared with you all last week, the novel is finished! “The hard part about writing a novel is finishing it.” – Ernest Hemingway Writing that second last chapter was kind of intimidating. I knew where I wanted the story to go as an… Continue reading That last chapter – the end is just another beginning
