Your Favorite K-Cup

[Neighbor]

Ever get stuck with a new deal for the morning- Dear this herbal tea is good for you. I have even placed fresh slices of ginger into it. It does this and that and another thing for your system.

Health stuff like that makes my mind go to the lyrics of an old Kenny Rogers  song- just dropped in  to see what condition my condition was in.

It is an awesome blessing to have such a good loving companion given me by God, in my later years, but really, health? I'm almost 80, I'm not going back to "healthy" not this side of the grass.

Coffee is morning, right? That and two eggs any style long as it is sunny side* up. Two  very dark toast, no jams (ugh), and three cups o coffee. That is morning. It is what makes the sun rise every day.

* Always save one yolk for the dog's lickings - it is his morning ritual. He doesn't drink coffee; never tried him on those health teas just a yolk, his fresh water bowl, and a dentachew and he is good to go. Go back to nap time that is till we walk.

I think  my Lord allows me daily rituals to make life simpler for me.

Started drinking coffee at age 10 on my boyhood farm. My dad hired another farmer to bale his straw, and got a good price per bale with one condition, we had to keep the baler supplied with coffee, which was my job. By the end of the summer I was drinking coffee with this guy, and I have been doing so for 60+ years.

I must admit, K-cups are expensive. I will look into getting reusable K cups.

I don't drink k cups anymore. I used to enjoy pretty much any cappuccino flavored one, but they just plain got to expensive, paid to much for to little. So I just stick to brewing my coffee the old fashioned way.

Yeah I guess it was about that age I started drinking coffee at the Winchell's Donut shop counter. We used to play some early morning  baseball before school then walk over to Winchell's before the school bell would ring the start of another day at school. I didn't like coffee at all  as my friends all put sugar and milk in it.

Then one day I saw a man drinking black coffee, tried some myself that way and that was that loved coffee from then on. Two plain donuts one cup coffee and I was ready to face school.

I’ve just switched back to Folgers Colombian but find the flavor a little bit too strong this time around.  I’m having a cup right now—pretty tasty, actually.  I noticed Walmart has one called “Caramel Drizzle.”  Sounds yummy for an occasional midafternoon cup.  Has anyone tried it?  

So what’s your favorite?

Does hot chocolate count?  Just had some a little earlier today. But as far as coffee goes, I like Folgers, black and strong.

You betcha it does, especially on a cold day or when the air conditioner is set at 65 degrees F.  Me too on the “Folgers, black and strong” plus a teaspoon of peanut butter.

Peanut butter in coffee? I've never tried that.

Ha!  No, not IN.   I just hold a teaspoon of peanut butter and lick it like a lollipop.  It goes pretty good with coffee….since I can’t have sugar.

Oh okay. I was having a hard time wrapping my mind around putting peanut butter in my coffee. But I'm old and pretty set in my ways. Don't go for much of the different coffee flavors.
