The Couch - CXII : The Tao of Couchies

We have a Seattle Drip drive through place here. They have a kona moca big train that will rock your world. I also love green tea and the French roast. The peanut butter cookie was a suggestion from my son. I thought it would not be good. But I was so wrong! It is yummy!!

Peanut butter cookie coffee? To go with the chocolate covered potato chips no doubt. I must visit the US one day and try at leaast a few of these things

I have never really told my parents about my atheism, but it has gradually become apparent over the years because I refuse to play along. I was pushed today and I said more than I should have, but then again, my mother should know better than to push me when I'm already upset. I don't push my beliefs (or lack thereof) on them, is it really too much to ask the same in return?
Incidentally, my mother called me to talk, not the other way around.

I have never had either of those things (chocolate covered potato chips or peanut butter coffee) - they are not super common. The most exciting I get with coffee is either adding in a little chicory or once every decade making vietnamese iced coffee (with french roast and chicory).
I do make my own peanut butter quite often.

Panicking a bit about my ability to get a better job, place to live etc. Oh, who am I kidding, I'm panicking about just about everything today.
Anyhow, feel a little better after finding a couple ads for 3-bed homes that should be in my price range once I start getting child support. This apartment is too small for two growing kids and a mom with space issues... The eight year old has me driven nuts with requests for her own room, but sharing with a special needs brother who won't stay out of her stuff is no picnic either...

What is chicory? I've not heard of that. Vietnamese iced coffee? Curious.

Vietnamese coffee is The Yum. 50:50 Very Strong Coffee: sweetened condensed milk

Maybe I am confused - did she do more than tell you to talk to god? I would not consider the talk to god sentence over the top to me - but I rarely tell anyone if I am upset and neither parent would be in the running if I was actually upset (I would possibly, in the most casual way possible, bring it up after I had solved it = but never while going through it) so it doesn't come up much as advice to me when I am upset. I do think it is a usual thing for the theists to say to someone.
I would think it is not too much to ask in return if everyone understands it is off the table in all forms pro and con.

Orleans Coffee: How To

You know, I just want to leave it alone.

That sounds yummy!! What is chicory? Is that a spice or an additive? Curious.

The top link tells you about chicory. It is a plant.

Oh ok! I'll go back and check it out. Thank you!!

Going to try and get some sleep. Thank you for hearing me and sharing coffee yummies!! Thank you!!

I held a snake in a zoo in Australia. No worries!

I have never tried chicory coffee, and had no idea people drank it by choice. I only know it from stories from WWII when coffee was heavily rationed and chicory was known as "surrogate" ("surr" for short) and in all the stories people think it is entirely inferior and miss real coffee. So it's interesting that it's used as a flavouring in the US! I'm sure it is a very different thing when used as a substitute rather than an additive though. No caffeine for one thing.

I am not a big fan of flavoured coffee. A dusting of cardamom can be nice, but that's about as far as I can go. I tried a pumpkin spice latte once and almost couldn't finish it.

Oh, man, spiders, bees, and wasps are my downfall!!!!

My grandmother would drink chicory by itself every so often. She just liked the taste. She always had a chicory root in the cupboard.
New Orleans is known for its coffee with chicory in it.

Oh I hate wasps too! I have long considered them tiny winged spawns of the devil!

I know, right? Any time I see a wasp, I'm gone!

Yeah chicory is to coffee like carob is to chocolate. It grows like dandelion with a pale blue flower, only taller, almost like aster, and Italians eat the greens as they do dandelion greens - braised with garlic. It was popular in the 70's or so? when coffee got "expensive" - pre-starbucks days!

Come autumn, the Usanians will again divide into two hostile factions - pro and anti pumpkin spice lattes

Stuck at school. With my back killing me. And a choir concert tonight. Not a good mix. And I'm stuck in 1st all day. I'm trying to get out of the concert. If not, feel free to be with me during the concert we are bound to fail! -_-

Whatcha performing?

Turning tables, Will you be there, Shine on me, and another song I can't remember the name of. Something about wind blowing in a meadow. It's my last concert, as I'm a senior this year. Thankfully. Almost graduation time!

Never mind the pumpkin spice...I'm anti-latte, period.
