2019’s Last Virtual Coffee

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9epIc6ipBIg As I wonder the airport slowly with a warm cardboard cup of coffee gripped between my hand I sip slow and watch other travelers moving around. Some of them drift like me but others scurry oblivious to everything around them. They are rushed and close to frantic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrNcbpJ1rxU If we were having coffee I… Continue reading 2019’s Last Virtual Coffee

Coffee Post

The coffee is bitter and warm. I sip slowly having chosen a table near the balcony. I have a clear view of the silky blue sky and the cotton ball clouds that are lazily drifting across that blue expanse. The sun is dazzling and I am instantly thankful for everything this morning has offered. There… Continue reading Coffee Post

If we were having coffee…

The paper coffee cup is burning in my hand, the heat is comforting against the cold. The feel of the plastic lid cracking open and snapping back is exciting and the steam that escapes is rich with a café mocha smell. I know it is too hot to bring the liquid to my lips but… Continue reading If we were having coffee…

December’s First Coffee

A rich coco scent is alive in the air and it adds to the festive feel while we put the decorations on the Christmas tree.

Smell the Coffee Cake

Fragrant spices, buttery notes of coffee and hints of nuts and vanilla. Yummy! This coffee cake is moist and topped with a crunch and a sticky caramel drizzle. I bake my coffee cake in a bunt pan for easy slicing. This little gluten-free gem is a family favourite. This morning it pairs nicely with my… Continue reading Smell the Coffee Cake

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. Into the cauldron an aged hand pours a small bowl of brown beans previously ground by a mortar and… Continue reading Coffee boil and bubble
