It Was Friday Night And I Was Hanging Out, Looking for A Place to Party

-




What's better than Friday at 6 p.m.? Well, Saturday morning is pretty cool.

But, there's such a feeling of freedom when you're facing two whole days away from the grind (get, it "grind?").

Anyway, my sister and I decided to hit the City. Cruising down Valencia Street and what do we see? A Ritual Roasters sign big as can be!

We make the block three or four times. And find a perfect spot and it's free to park. Not even a dime.

The barista was great, but I didn't get her name.

She poured us two cups of Monte Rey Carrizal Costa Rica.

Friday nights will never be the same (well, I had to rhyme, didn't I?)

It's on!

Enjoy your Saturday.

    That's how you end the work week on a high note! I salute you!

    Now, you need to start treating yourself by giving in to the urge to splurge every Friday evening after grinding at the mill, make a detour on the way home and start a new ritual - pun intended! That is what I would call "Living Large and in Charge"!!! Give a brand new meaning to "After Five"! Start living for the weekend!

    Peace!

It's Not Your Mother's Eight O'Clock Coffee - Columbia Single Serve Cup

You may not have noticed, but Eight O'Clock Coffee (which I used to refer to as Eight O'Clock Bean Coffee) has experienced a new attitude. There's new packaging and now there is even an Eight O'Clock K-Cup(R). I enjoy and delight in experiencing artisan roasted coffee and I can ride the "third wave" as good as the next person, but sometimes I just want to remember the way things used to be. So, the Eight O'Clock K-Cup  is the perfect way to enjoy a coffee that's always had a special place in my heart - but with a new twist. All these new single-serve coffees are making me lazy. But, don't worry, I'm an equal opportunity coffee-lover. Here's to the weekend!

All Time Favorite Coffee Jingles

-

I have consumed a lot of coffee over the last couple of decades, but it's mainly through "trial and error," "word of mouth," or "pure luck," that I found those I've enjoyed the most. And, of course, the folks who reach out and let me know about the great coffees that are out there. But with micro roasters becoming more and more popular, and grocery store coffee being talked about less, even though many supermarket varieties are very good, I can't help but remember some of those jingles and television commercials that remain etched in my mind. Some of my favorite coffee jingles: "Good to the Last Drop" (TM) (Maxwell House) "Richness Worth A Second Cup" (TM) (Yuban) "The Best Part of Waking Up, Is Folgers In Your Cup" (TM) And, last but not least, drumroll. . . .my all-time favorite: "Fill It To the Rim With Brim" (TM) (Brim Decaffeinated Coffee) (special thanks to my sister for remin...
