“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. I cuddle the warm blanket over my legs and a heavy sigh and eye roll follows because I am… Continue reading Haunted Coffee

What’s in the Coffee Grinds?
Last weekend’s baking outcome: It was served to me in a tiny cup with a saucer. It was painful when I was told not to drink it all because I usually drink way more than a sip. 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.

Delicious Fall Coffees
The smell of baked apples, cinnamon and sweet sugar is heavy in the air. Warmth from the oven is comforting on this chilly fall morning.

The hazelnut coffee on its own would pair nicely with the apple… Continue reading Delicious Fall Coffees

Coffee with a scoop
It’s bold creamy and sweet. The rich Brazilian coffee beans have been brewed perfectly and added to a vanilla flavoured cream to create a coffee lover’s dream. It is cold and smooth on the tongue. With a thoughtful wink over my coffee cup I hold up a scoop of that delicious coffee flavoured ice cream… Continue reading Coffee with a scoop

Coffee Outdoors
The sun is shining and the birds are making their soft bird song. The neighbourhood is silent around me; it is too early in the morning for much activity. These are the kinds of mornings that I love. The patio table and chairs are very inviting this morning as I savour the warm coffee in… Continue reading Coffee Outdoors
