I remember one time at work when we came up with a GREAT idea of putting coffee in the filter and then covering the coffee with hot chocolate mix. Apparently the chocolate mix plugs off the filter because when we came back to taste our brilliant concoction, the coffe-olate was all over the counter. I think you all have figured out by now, I'm not the brainiest Smurf in the Blue Bunch.
No but if you take the coffe in the cup and add the hot chocolate mix after coffee is brewed.. you will get the same effect that you were trying for

I can't drink coffee after dinner. And I cannot put ice cubes in it!! I say that because my grandparents loved ice coffee...putting ice cubes in black coffee! It's as bad as remembering my gramma yelling across the house, "Hubie, hey Hubie... they're making weiners and hamburgs!! Do you want a weiner or hamburg??" Of course we would all roll on the floor laughing!! But iced coffee with a hot weiner..not my style.
So are you a coffee, tea person? Got a story to go along with it?
OH MY GAWDDDDDDDDDDDD You just told Tet Tea she is boring!!!!!!!
Tet Tea go get him!!!!!!
I'm a one cup american coffee with a little milk as soon as I step out of bed (programmable coffee maker). Then, when I get in to work, I pick up the 2nd cup. That's it for the day. I don't even drink the espresso cuban thing everybody here does constantly in those tiny little one shot cups.
Like Pixie.... Cafe con Leche.... Once in a blue moon, if somebody else makes it. And tea, yeah only when I'm sick too.
OK. Listen up! I played hookey today. I have to paint a bedroom. So stop making up threads that I have to come back to. I must go paint!!! ta ta

Yes, but you know in this fast paced life that we live in, with drive-through marriages and such, we wanted to have it premade and not waste precious time opening the mix every time and stirring. We are very busy with more important things to do like checking emails and meetings, don't you know?
One cup of ginger root tea (medicinal purposes - prevents and keeps the acid reflux away) first thing in the AM as the coffee is brewing. Then, I have a cup or two of black coffee with sugar only. No cream.
At some point in the early afternoon, I have either a cup of decaf mint green tea, oolong tea (which is a mix of green and black teas) OR just a plain cup of black Lipton, Red Rose, or other name brand black tea. (The generics just aren't the same.) Nothing like the smell and taste of regular black tea. I add raw honey to it, and it is awesome.

You need to slack off like the rest of the world. Duuuuuuh. I mean, come on.. I am at work right now.. do you think I am being productive? Uh, no.. it is Friday, hellllooooo??

I'm not at work...we have a neat little schedule called the 9-80 which allows us to have every other Friday off. As for you, I think you SHOULD take it easy today, because not only is it Friday, it's GOOD Friday....double the reason for looking out for number one, right?

hahahahahahaha. Nope. Already have the paint. Left over from another wall. Just about my whole house has at least one wall in each room that is a different color so have lots of little bits and I mix them up sometimes Just like me, a little mixed up on and off.
I'm dying to do the family room but 1) can't decide what colors. 2) too much S$$$$$IT to move and take off the walls. Right now it's a bland off white EGGSHELL too!
By the time I come to check in here again, I should have gotten the can of paint out of the shed and into the room. Then blue tape. Then s t i r r r r. Then start the mess.
Coffee. I drink anything that tastes like coffee. Mud, java, joe, jamoke. 20 years in the Navy, and I could take the last out of a 50 cup coffeemaker and swallow it down without blinking. SNEER: We don' need no stinkin' espresso! Just put a couple of extra scoops in the basket. Voila! Homemade, Just like mama used to. HA!
Location: Finally made it to Florida and lovin' every minute!

I'm with you, Mal. Love my coffee, no matter how bad it is. The thing is, I'm supposed to be drinking decaf. Thank goodness it's better than it used to be (remember Sanka??). I drink coffee all morning long, starting at home where I grind my own, then onto work where the best bene is free coffee, and the pot's right outside my office. Afternoons, I like tea - black tea (none of that green stuff for me - ick!) or sometimes herbal tea when I'm feeling like something sweeter. Oh, and I drink it all black. Once a week, I stop in at Starbucks for a skinny sugar-free vanilla cappuccino. That's my end of the week treat.
