Some Like it Hot: Coffee Barbeque Sauce

 
Brewha-ha is hosting this month’s theme day, Some Like It Hot.  If you like it hot then this is the bbq sauce for you.
Coffee barbeque sauce is  a fantastic addition to your barbeque.  Feel free to adjust the seasonings.  This is pretty spicy.

Muddy Dog Breakfast Blend

I told you a few weeks ago that I had discovered a small, artisan coffee roaster in North Carolina during one of my web surfing adventures. The website piqued my interest and I contacted them to see if I could get a sample to review.

Green Mountain Coffee:Single Origin Sumatra

 
This is my favorite of the coffees that Green Mountain sent me.  It is a dark roast, and as I have said, I am partial to a dark roast.  The beans are very aromatic, you open the bag and your brain perks up..”coffee? did someone say coffee?”

Allegro Coffee Red Sea Blend:Notes from a Coffee Dufus

 
I have been putting off this review. Honestly I have.  And I will tell you why.
I have been reading reviews all over the internet and they all seem to say the same thing. Exciting fruity notes.  Chocolate notes.  Notes of tobacco and wood.  Tastes of cherry, blueberry and spice…Exotic, complex.
Scroll back.
Last week Marc and I […]

Blog -Surfing Saturday

First of all, the horses are gone and I sent a baby goat and a quart of goat milk along with them. Why I feel the need to give people things I will never know.
