“Friday. The golden child of the weekdays. The superhero of the workweek. The welcome wagon to the weekend.” ~ Anonymous Thanks for stopping in for a virtual coffee today. I’m currently unavailable. This is a pre-scheduled post. I’m on summer holidays with the family and having my coffee unplugged. See you for a virtual cup… Continue reading Unplugged Coffee
Bean Around the World coffee—Spain—Churros flavoured coffee fills my mug today. I must start with a confession. I’ve never tried a Churro; the opportunity just hasn’t come up. My point is that I have no basis for comparison to my coffee. I will tell you that my java has a sugar smell even though I… Continue reading What? Churros flavoured coffee?
It’s October so I thought I would reflect on coffee. My first coffee post was October 3, 2016. I didn’t really share any news about my week, but I did narrate a wonderful coffee setting for us. I visited the coffee share once a month back then. Honey and coffee seemed to be something that… Continue reading Reflecting on coffee
“Good communication is just as stimulating as black coffee, and just as hard to sleep after.” – Anne Morrow Leinberg I apologize again for my absence. I can’t wait to have a virtual coffee with you next week. By Shari Marshall – 2022
Hot, steamy and rich smelling. It is an earthy scent that is hard to ignore. The odour alone encourages the brain to power up, both a social and mental stimulant.

Feet up on the dashboard with my butt nestled into the passenger’s seat. The sun is low in the sky with the promise of a warm sunny day. The radio can just be heard over the sound of the tires on the pavement and the wind outside my window. The smell of strong coffee, truck… Continue reading Another favourite place to drink my coffee
There is a complex coffee roasted peanut smell rising from my coffee mug. My coffee this morning is Sundae’s peanut butter coffee. The very thought of peanut butter makes me crave that sweet, earthy and buttery flavour. I know that the creamy oily texture that both sticks and melts won’t be present in my coffee… Continue reading Trick-or-Treat and coffee please
There it is, the ice cream sandwich. I close my eyes and remember that long ago taste. It is a creamy rich taste that is smooth and sweet. The iciness of the ice cream is set against the soft cold wafer-like cookies that sandwich it. The cocoa flavour is strong and sugary. It is creamy… Continue reading A sandwich in a coffee cup
This year I am writing a novel. I am starting this post with a question for me and for you. Is there a symbolic image that of you write? My symbolic image is a coffee cup filled with strong black coffee. A white misty vapor is rising from the mug and breaking around a slightly… Continue reading Theatre behind the Eyes
In that first deep inhale I catch notes that make me think of maraschino cherries that preserved and sweetened bright red cherry. However, it isn’t just any maraschino cherry. This is the chocolate covered maraschino cherry with the distinct scent of brandy flavoured liqueur. This coffee taste mimics that bitter chocolate with sweet alcohol and… Continue reading Pre-Christmas Coffee
