Chatting Coffee and Columbus Day

I woke up this morning thinking I wanted to share a little bit of Foamy the Squirrel’s philosophy of the world.  You see, anything you’ve ever thought and wanted to say but were either too tactful or too politically correct to say, Foamy’s been there, saying it for you.  So I wondered to myself, what video(s) should I choose for my first introduction….and decided to do what most blog writers do.  I considered the people I read…and what I’ve found interesting.  And whether it’s been Jenny Hansen talking about her favorite coffee mugs or  Terri Lee who got “Dancing Cheek to Cheek” stuck in my head or Good Morning Joe. who discussed the merits of tea versus coffee there is no question that coffee talk has been a ruling topic of conversation lately.

In honor of this…and to give us all a chance to laugh, I figured I’d kick this off with some of my favorite rants about coffee.  I dare you to not relate….

I always wondered about those cup sizes… Next…ordering…

You know…I LOVE Starbucks.  In fact, I wait with bated breath for fall so that I can get my favorite pumpkin spice.  The truth, though, is that my cousin in Michigan never went into a Starbucks because she was intimidated and never knew what to order.  And I don’t think she’s the only one intimidated.

As much as I enjoy Starbucks, the stuff I like is frou frou and filled with whole mik and sugar, and it’s not cheap.  So I’ve been limiting myself.  Thankfully, my guy bought me a Keurig.  There are so may flavors available for that baby and there’s the little cup thingie that you can use to make coffee with any brand of coffee, even if your flavor of choice doesn’t come in K-cups.  Between the flavored creamers & coffees, you can pretty much create all sorts of interesting recipes.

Oddly, my husband thinks coffee is gross.  He prefers tea.  So does my mom.  Me?  The only time you’ll catch me drinking tea is if I’m sick or losing my voice.

What is your beverage addiction of choice?  Is it tea?  Coffee?  Soda?  Hot chocolate?  What are your favorite flavors?  What do you think of Foamy?

Hope you’re enjoying your day.  If you’re from the States, Happy Columbus Day!  (BTW, what historical facts do you remember about Columbus?  Can you name his 3 ships?  What country sent him?…Share your knowledge of all things Columbus!)
