A Seahorse and a Flamingo Walk Into This Coffee Bar

-


Well, they didn't really walk into a coffee bar.  Actually, they didn't go to a coffee bar at all.

 But if they could have, I'll bet they would have because they would know, like me, that sugar cookies and coffee make a wonderful combination.

 Here's the backstory.  

 I saw these flamingo and seahorse cookie cutters online about four years ago.  I had to have them!  See, I love flamingos, and, I mean, what's not to love about a seahorse, right?

 Anyway, I called all around until I found a place to order them that had them in stock.  Told the folks I needed them ASAP.

 And then they sat together in my kitchen drawer for all this time.  Oh, I thought about making cookies and using these cutters time and time again.  But, something always came up and I never quite got around to it.

 So, finally, I did it!  And while these aren't exactly the most beautiful Seahorse and Flamingo sugar cookies in the world, they sure are good with a cup of joe.

 My next challenge is to find just the right color sprinkles and icing to make them ready for the runway!

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
