Creating New Easter Traditions and Wishing You a Very "Hoppy" Day!

-


Every holiday seems to sneak up on me before I'm ready.  I know exactly when they're coming, yet  I just can't seem to get it together.

 This year, Easter was no different.  

 While I usually try to make sure that I attend church on Easter Sunday, this year, I decided to do something a little different.  I definitely celebrate Easter and the fact that in my belief, Christ rose on the third-day, but this year, I thought, "Why not stay home and get a head-start on dinner?"

 Who was it who said, "Life is short, eat dessert first?"  I'm following that person's lead.  Before I prepared my Easter ham, I baked a pound cake.  I had gotten so tired of pound cake that I realized I hadn't made one in a very long time.  Plus they're perfect for decorating.  And they just feel like Easter.

 But, before I got too far off-track, I wanted to make sure to hop on by and tell all my blog readers and friends to have a Wonderful Easter (and Passover) and don't forget to create new traditions to go along with the old.

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
