They Are Kidding, Right?

 
I am sorry, I must interrupt your normally scheduled day for a moment of hysterical laughter. Please prepare your computer screen by covering it with saran wrap, move items that may be in harms way off of your desk, and clear your mouth and espohagus of any coffee which may be lurking there.  Take a […]

Honor Grounds Reveille Dark Roast and a GIVEAWAY!!

I would have gotten a picture of the cup but we drank it all. Sadness.
For a pre-ground coffee this was an excellent dark roast. Smooth, flavorful and with a hint of citrus in the first taste.

“It Will Widen the Scope of Our Social Mission”…Yeah Right…

 
So..when have you heard that before?
I think it is lame.  When a small, socially ethical company sells out to the big monopolies…(whooops…I mean conglomerates, monopolies are illegal aren’t they?  ) and then says that it was so that the social mission can touch even more people…

Fantasy Tea…Who Would You Invite?

 
The tea party dresses had me thinking yesterday.  IF you were having a tea party, or a kaffe klatche for that matter, who would you invite and why? It can be any one in history, fiction, or myth.
My list would be the oddest collection of characters ever, I am afraid. :/  But, here it is..

Coffee & Tea Blogsurfing Sunday…

See this picture? This is an illustration of the battle royale for coffee in this house. This is my son in law, desperate for coffee, trying to get those last few drops of precious caffeine from the coffee maker into his mouth.
Sad. So, so sad. And yet, a picture that is repeated […]
