January 2023 chitchat

I ordered the Starbucks instant coffee last evening and it was on my porch this morning. I had a cup and enjoyed it. I am going to get a small container of milk and some "new" sugar when I go to the grocery store which will hopefully be tomorrow after hair appointment. I am getting more sugar because mine said "best by MARCH 2018". I had no idea because I just don't use sugar.

One of the nicest things about having coffee was how good it smelled. It reminded me of when I use to set the percolator at night so the coffee would be brewed the next morning. As I dressed for work I would smell the aroma.

Agate, I used a mug to heat the water and then poured it over the coffee in another mug that I can handle pretty well.

Haha it arrived in an instant!

And probably not even delivered by drone. Congratulations on working out the coffee-brewing situation, Virginia.

I remembered a way I got a free coffeemaker years ago--Gevalia Coffee was offering free coffeemakers along with some of their coffee, and it was a small coffeemaker but brewed good coffee. I looked at the Website and of course they're not offering that deal any more. In fact, they're selling something called "pods" and I don't know anything about coffee pods except that they seem to be the newest thing.

Ikoiko, I hadn't thought about it but it really was instant! I bought some fresh sugar yesterday and some organic grass fed 2% milk. My coffee was very good this morning. Maybe a reason to get up in the mornings, to have a nice cup of coffee. I considered having another one after supper, but decided to eat a Mandarin orange instead.

Agate, it really did solve the coffee maker problem. I guess instant coffee has come a long way since I tried it last.
