Coffee
Day off and first stop, Java House...
Anyone who knows me knows that I love coffee. And not just one cup but multiple cups of java. My first order of business upon getting to work is put on the coffee. I've often said that our Microbiology department runs on coffee. That's not so much the case these days as many have sworn off the brewed bean. But, I still have my coffee companions who will share a pot of the brew and savor it with me.
Now, I like a good, robust cup of coffee, but I also have a weakness for blended espressos and once in a while, a latte. And if it's got caramel or white chocolate, we're good to go. Make mine a venti. Add a good biscotti and I'm one happy camper.
When I travel with my friend Wanda, we do what is affectionately called the Starbucks tour. I have to start rehearsing her order again for our trip to NYC next week. Let's see...venti hazelnut skim latte. Yeah, I remember. (The Prez will be happy with the AA.)
My youngest is my coffee companion. She and her brother will both join me in the winter, when I break out the Baileys to add to it too. Cask and cream caramel isn't a bad option either.
My late father-in-law use to say that a cup of coffee was perfect if it could stand on its own without a cup. Now, I'm not one who likes it quite that strong, but don't give me brown water either. I don't go looking for decaf. I prefer high test and drink it with no adverse affect. I've been known to drink a cup before bedtime and sleep like a baby.
Yes, I love my coffee. Now, I better check how much I have on the Starbucks card before I make that trip...

I adore coffee too...but no milk or sugar for me on an off day (digestion wise, I mean...)
