Coffee is my new friend! I have gone 30 yrs without being a coffee drinker - well, I enjoyed the occasional latte or Caramel Latte from Second Cup or Starbucks.......BUT then this past Christmas, my sister-in-law introduced me to coffee and eggnog, and I have been drinking it ever since. Mid January my eggnog ran out, and I realized - I like coffee! I drink it occasionally, but it seams that more and more I am enjoying a cup. At least 4 times a week now. I can see me eventually progressing to being a daily drinker. I'll have to admit that my good friend L. game me some really yummy coffee that calls my name every couple of mornings. We have this OLD coffee pot that we bought (at a garage sale) when we got our first apartment in 1997 - we've also been using that same batch of coffee since then. I've promised to throw out that old coffee, but I haven't done it yet. My next step will be to get a fancy black and stainless steel coffee maker that I can program the night before! Maybe I'll ask for that for my birthday - the BIG 30 is coming up in a little over 2 months!
