I am not sure if I ever shared my new mom coffee horror story with you so I think in light of this month’s theme of non-fiction and todays coffee date I will give a fast overview. This was pre-Keurig for me and actually the catalyst for my husband gifting me my first Keurig. My… Continue reading Non-fiction Coffee

If we were having coffee
My Christmas mug is empty. I am torn this morning between coffee or hot chocolate. I think that I will go with Mackintosh’s hot chocolate. Just the thought of the rich frothy sweet taste sounds good. The chocolate and caramel smell will be uplifting and festive too. What can I get you: After Eight, Rolo,… Continue reading If we were having coffee

Coffee and Dreams
The smell of coffee is alive in the air. I used to have a dream of owning my own coffee shop. I wanted it to be a cute little shop with big comfy chairs, homemade baked goods, and a country theme. I wanted it to have a family/close friend atmosphere and I wanted to sell… Continue reading Coffee and Dreams

Coffee boil and bubble
The cauldron is heating up over an open fire and the red orange flames are licking the cast iron sides. The glacier water, no longer glacier, starts to bubble making a nice rolling and bubbling sound.

Haunted Coffee
“Don’t’ buy that cup, its haunted!” My friend warned. With an eye roll I stroll to the counter with the cup. Two days later I sit down and try to settle myself in my favourite chair.

What’s in the Coffee Grinds?

The experience watching this cup of coffee being prepared and made up for the small size of the… Continue reading What’s in the Coffee Grinds?

Coffee Where Ghosts Walk
If we were having coffee at the beginning of October I would invite you to ponder ghosts walking among tombstones. October seems fitting for a brief discussion of cemeteries. The above image was photographed in 2018 when my family and I did the Dawson City Cemeteries Walking Tour. It is a historic site. I love… Continue reading Coffee Where Ghosts Walk

Coffee in the throes of fall
El sol está brillante hoy pero está frió (the sun is shining but it is cold). Fall is in its full throes. It is too easy these fall days for a chill to creep into the bones. The season welcomes warm sweaters, jeans and somedays a nice scarf or a knit hat. Promises of frost… Continue reading Coffee in the throes of fall

Fall Coffee Flavours
If we were having coffee I would invite you to brew up a new fall flavour of coffee. Pumpkin spice lattes are a fall favourite of mine but what else could we add to the fall coffee menu? Apple crisp latte? Something with a slight apple tartness and cream on top garnished with cinnamon crumble??… Continue reading Fall Coffee Flavours

Cafe
If we were having coffee I would ask you what word comes to mind when I say fall? Crisp When I think of fall I think of crisp. The air is fresh with a nip in it: crisp. That crisp fall breeze rustles the leaves in the trees, from the trees and onto the ground.… Continue reading Cafe
