Honey in Coffee

If we were having coffee… This morning as I was spooning a dollop of creamed honey onto my toast and peanut butter while simultaneously enjoying the smell of fresh coffee brewing I thought of my grandmother. I could see her sitting slightly hunched at the round wood table in her cottage. The morning sun shining on… Continue reading Honey in Coffee

Anybody familiar with the television series Two and a half Men and the coffee mugs they use on the show? These mugs are 16 ounce horizontal striped mugs. The stripes are multi-coloured with shades of yellow, blue, reddish-brown, white and green.

If we were having our first holiday coffee…

It’s that time of year to start getting out holiday decorations, and that’s been a big part of this week. That said, my coffee mug today is a holiday one. Its base colour, the colour that rims the top and bottom, is snow white, not a fresh snow but one that is a couple days… Continue reading If we were having our first holiday coffee…

Insanity & Tea

With a sudden gulp of air, I realise that I had momentarily forgotten to draw breath. Once reminded my breath now flows in short, quick puffs. The heat is building, the intensity of it is evident on my slick skin. My feet rebounding off the floor jars me slightly, but my attention has gone so… Continue reading Insanity & Tea

If we were enjoying a Pumpkin Spiced Latte…

The rich bold smell of coffee colours the air while the sounds of laughter and animated conversation swirl through the air currents. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. I have selected a corner table and positioned myself so I can watch the room.

Anyway, if we were having coffee…

“If I can make coffee there isn’t anything I can’t do!” – Rachael from Friends The pilot episode for Friends originally aired on September 22, 1994. I was, and actually still am, a huge fan.

When it comes to coffee and writing, what’s the best flavour?

A mild aroma of roasted nuts swirls on the air currents. However, as I sip my coffee this morning I am just not sure what to share. I am sure there has been lots, but somehow it just doesn’t want to follow down my arms, and through my fingertips onto the keyboard. Instead I have… Continue reading When it comes to coffee and writing, what’s the best flavour?

If we were having coffee, iced coffee…

The change of pace today from our usual hot coffees to these delicious icy treats is welcome. I’m sure with one month of summer under our hats that we must have lots to share, but our time appears limited by melting drinks so I’ll share my biggest update. My six week memoir writing course is… Continue reading If we were having coffee, iced coffee…
