Cake and Coffee

Coffee and Cake

I really enjoy a bit of cake with my coffee, not that I have this often. This is from Anthony's birthday and I drew this from a photo because I was craving something sweet and didn't have anything in the home.

Of course, I made a nice black coffee in my Tassimo.

TSP2013 - Make Coffee

I enjoy a good cup of coffee first thing in the morning. More often than not, I only have one cup a day. It is a rare day that I make myself a second cup.  The Tassimo Coffee Maker is really good for making individual cups of coffee. It can also be used to make tea, lattes, cappuccinos, espressos, and hot chocolate. We usually have all of those on hand in the event someone feels like having something other than regular coffee.

My lovely black coffee starts my day for me. If I don't have that coffee I feel out of sync.

Coffee is more than just a beverage for me. It is also a chance to socialize with my dear friends.  Now and again one will call me or I'll call one and we go out for a coffee and a visit. Sometimes I'll have them in for a coffee and a visit. "Let's go for a coffee" is my way of saying "I miss you and want to visit." It does not have to be coffee, it could be tea, or any other beverage.

Every Day Matters #4 - Draw Your Mug or Cup

My husband brought this mug back for me from The Museum of Civilization. It has an image of one of Alex Colville's paintings on it: "To Prince Edward Island" Alex Colville is one of my favourite artists.

I enjoy at least one cup of coffee a day, usually in the morning. My husband gave me a Tassimo Coffee Maker several years ago for Christmas. It is great because I can make one perfect cup of coffee as I want it. The Tassimo also makes lattes, cappuccinos, hot chocolate, teas, and more. I can make a black coffee for myself, a hot chocolate for my husband, and a chai latte for my son, one after the other!

Coffee for me is more than just a beverage. It is also a chance to get together with friends for visits.
