Milky Way in the morning

Okay, not really.  But I do have a little problem in that my friend at work just introduced me to the Milky Way flavor for the Flavia machine.

Let me tell you something.  These things smell just like cake batter.  I love the smell of cake batter.  Especially in the morning.  It nearly beats Starbucks, except [...]

Getting it done

I felt extra productive this morning because it’s sort of a holiday, so some people are off work.  Why it is a holiday, I don’t know, because Christopher Columbus was not quite the kind of guy I like to spend my free time commemorating, but I don’t make the rules.
Anyway, so Chris is off work [...]

Bad blogger

I forgot about you yesterday!  Isn’t that mean?  I’m sorry.  We had a friend over for dinner and I made black bean cutlets and roasted potatoes and then we drank some beer and watched The Island, which I am shamelessly addicted to, and then I completely forgot to post about it.
I think it probably had [...]

My shoes are wet

Hit up Starbucks this morning:

I normally get a misto, which is half milk and half coffee and involves the barista.  Or, maybe it doesn’t. Maybe I just like saying the word barista.  In any case, I know it takes longer than a regular coffee, and there was some sort of school field trip or something [...]

Yikes!

Sorry, I’m way behind.  We’re going to go ahead and skip yesterday.  You didn’t miss anything.  Well, maybe an ice cream cone.  But I’ll have another one tonight.  You know, not because I want to, but to make it up to you.
Today all I have so for is this:

Somehow my foot made it in there, [...]

I am dumber than I thought

So yesterday, after my post about the cold-pressed iced coffee, someone commented that I didn’t need coffee filters – I could just use my French press.
Duh.
So I did that for today:

It worked out fine.  The coffee tasted the same, but my paper towels didn’t soak up the majority of it, which is a major plus.
We [...]

Better late than never

Last night I decided that it was stupid to go to Starbucks today when I had the recipe for free iced coffee in the palm of my hand.  Stupid in that an iced coffee at Starbucks is $2.70 or something similarly outrageous.
So, I measured my little 1/3 cup of coffee and put it in a [...]

Today is a good day

I am having mad peanut butter cravings today.  I got up to get some more water and the next thing I knew, I had the jar out and a spoon in my hand.  I figured I should at least get myself together and use a bowl, so:

I mixed it with some raisins.  And some chocolate [...]

NYC Transit is top notch

It took the train I was on 45 minutes to go five stops this morning.  Some business about smoke or fire or something silly like that on the tracks.
Here is a little something about me:  I am obsessed with time.  More specifically, being on time.  I am never late.  I know this because I wear [...]

Man, did I miss Starbucks!

I swear.  If someone can explain to me how to make a good cup of coffee, I would be a happy girl.  I have a French press and a percolator and I just can’t get it right.  I had a regular old coffee maker but I kicked it to the curb (literally…it was gone in [...]
