This post is a response to Mama Kat’s writing prompt to list 10 reason why I drink coffee. I wrote it when I’d had one too many cups…
1. I like it--a lot (so the other 9 reasons don’t matter).
2. It gives me a reason to get out of bed every morning.
3. It gives me a reason to go to bed every night (the sooner I fall asleep and wake up, well you know-reason #2).
4. When combined with Coco Puffs or Cap’n Crunch, it’s a sure fire energy blast.
5. Certain foods, like chocolate, taste much better with coffee. (Granted, chocolate tastes pretty good without coffee too).
6. It requires that I go to Hawaii every so often-because that’s where you get the best Kona coffee.
7. It really is such a lovely color naturally, but I have so much fun creating new colors by varying the amount of cream I add.
8. It mixes well with other things-like Irish whiskey, for example.
9. Because you don’t have to drink your coffee to enjoy its benefits. Chocolate covered coffee beans, anyone?
10. I like it—a lot (so the other 9 reasons don’t matter). Yes. I KNOW I said that already.
I think I need another cup…
Cute post! Love the nostalgic picture! Chocolate and Coffee are like peas and carrots, aren't they?
ReplyDeleteThey sure are! Part of a well balanced diet!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of Kona coffee. You've got me intrigued. And I agree, coffee tastes REALLY good with chocolate. This was a fun read Valerie!
ReplyDeleteHi Kim, Kona is my favorite variety-- it's grown in Hawaii, and is a bit on the pricey side-but it is definitely worth it!! I hope you get a chance to try some, some day:)
ReplyDeleteNumbers 1 and 10 are all you need!
ReplyDeleteAs for number 7, I usually like my coffee brunette. If it's awful, I drink it blond. If it's super good, I drink it black.
I do enjoy a good cup of Kona. I also quite enjoy Kenyan AA.
Yum, coffee is the bestest ever!
