A Mixed Up Monday

So this post is going to be a big mix up of foods.  From dinner Sunday night all the way until breakfast this morning.

Typical Sunday night =Sushi + the Amazing Race
I ordered Sweet Potato Tempura rolls and Kappa Maki rolls.  Jared’s fishy fish rolls were squeezed in between my nice veggie rolls.

Mmm, plus edamame on [...]

Nicaragua Segovia coffee

I made some “berry” yummy oats with the last of my bag of stove top oats:

1 cup of water
1/2 cup of oatmeal
1 tablespoon of blueberry flax seed
1 tablespoon of brown sugar
1 cup of frozen mixed berries
sprinkle of dark chocolate chips

I also completed by taste test of my last bag of Boston Common Coffee, Nicaragua Segovia.  [...]

Boston Common Coffee Co. Sample #1

Costa Rica LaMinita

Roast profile: A central American single-origin varietal from Bill McAlpin’s LaMinita estate.  Considered a premium coffee, it is meant to be roasted light to light-medium to accentuate its characteristics, which are a pleasant acidity, sweetness, and nice body.  A very clean coffee with a smooth finish!

To properly test these beans, they were ground [...]

Drink Coffee…

“…Do Stupid Things Faster With More Energy”
For the past 2 months, I’ve been e-mailing back and forth with Patrick Maloney, the roastmaster at Boston Common Coffee Co.

I’ve been learning some great facts about coffee, different growing regions and coffee varieties, etc. etc.  I think about coffee as something I sip on in the morning so [...]

Hallo-Recap

Friday…

Celebrated Halloween Eve with some pumpkin coffee from DD.

I snacked on crackers with Laughing Cow cheese.

We had a Halloween Party at work.  They handed out cookies that looked eerily similar…

…to Miles’ dog treats!

Dinner was BBQ chicken and a baked potato topped with cheddar cheese and plain Chobani.

We celebrated the good news of my being cleared [...]

You Came in With the Breeze

On Sunday morning
You sure have changed since yesterday
Without any warning
I thought I knew you
I thought I knew you
I thought I knew you well. . . so well (Love No Doubt)

I had a cup of Jamaican Me Crazy coffee when I woke up this morning.  Thanks to Daylight Savings, I was able to sleep in, [...]

Haunted Gingerbread House

Last night, I dedicated a large portion of my time to decorating my Halloween-themed gingerbread house.  I accidentally added too much water to the icing so it was too runny.  I had a hard time preventing it from dripping down the front of the house.  Eventually, I just went nuts and drizzled orange and purple [...]

Recovering and Recapping

After shedding a few tears of frustration and attending the Shecky’s Girl’s Night Out event, I am starting to get over my bad mood from yesterday.  I have a meeting at 10:15 to discuss whether or not I need to take the prerequisite undergrad computer course before I can get a diploma.  Thanks for the [...]

Start Your Engines

Jared brewed our new Pecan Rum coffee. It made the whole apartment smell yummy.
When I went outside with the dog, I found the world’s tiniest snail crawling on our deck. Aww! Look at the little guy!
I made French Toast for breakfast. I mixed 1 egg, milk, and a bit of cinnamon [...]
