HAPPY EASTER

-


Easter Season is a special time. 

 Whether you're celebrating the beginning of Spring, the end of Passover, or like me,  the resurrection of the Lord, you probably have some traditions that have been carried out since childhood.

 For me, Easter Season is also a time of reflection.  I think about my childhood, how much I miss my parents, grandparents and all those people who in some way marked this day either by coloring eggs, wearing a new outfit or making a special dinner.

 My grandmother used to bake a jelly roll cake on holidays.  I was never fond of jelly roll cake, but I wish I had been.  

 When we were kids, my mom would dye the Easter lilies from our yard.  

 I tried to make traditions with my daughter but somehow I was always scrambling to pull her Easter basket together at the last minute.  

 This morning, as I sit here with my cup in hand, I wish you happiness, health, family, good friends, joy and great coffee!

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
