Stale coffee and cold tea have been properly disposed of, and fresh stuff has been made. Have fun.

Ah "stale coffee" - you're giving me a flashback! My parents always made coffee after dinner - quite strong - in the percolator usually on the stove top., and kept warm for a loooong time. Inevitably there would be some left over & my frugal Dad would save it & reheat it for breakfast. o_O Now, I do love a morning cup of coffee, but morning at the cottage - where one longs to sip peacefully & deliciously on the deck or dock - was a coffee nightmare. No amount of milk could be added to move that bitter brew beyond a nasty gray colour. He would be quite insulted if one endeavoured to make a new pot. I often just switched to tea. :cautious: So eventually, we just provided a Melitta single cup drip, then later a 'modern' drip coffee maker with a thermal carafe, and cottage morning routines righted themselves, at least for me!
 
There is nothing that can ruin the taste of virtual (or virtuous?) tea or coffee. Enjoy!

Virtual caffeine keeps only your computer awake at night. Alas, it wakes only your computer in the morning, too. Still need the real thing for us humans.

Agreed. I only drink one cup of coffee a day anymore (coffee caffeine is really bad for me, but one cup is okay). The one cup I have is a nice plain, black unsweetened dark roast, made in a one cup Melitta or an Aeropress. I just like to appreciate the one cup, and the useful effects, then switch to tea.

Steroids are ugly but useful drugs. Good luck. Watch bone density and skin thinning.

The word "nice" does not fit with the rest of this phrase IMHO. Coffee just does not do it for me taste-wise. Little M has tried valiantly but it always ends with me screwing up my face and lunging for my tea.
 
Actually the word 'nice' should be replaced by the word 'magnificent', imho.

I do realize there are those for whom coffee holds no appeal. Sort of the way I feel about wine. Never quite understood why it's so popular. But no doubts that it's a worthy beverage nonetheless.

A worthy and ancient beverage. A huge danger to the addicted. Strange. Rat City is an interesting phenom.
 
Beer makes be jolly ... yet excluded at this point ... thus a downer or negative emotions ... that could resolve in time take'n the epinephrine high to somewhere else! That alternate essence ... kind of wispy ... like mystical manna and pneums! Gnomons go there ... in the press rheum ...

Said to be wrote wrong ... given stoney protocol ... crocs?
 
Good morning, all! The beverage cart is again ready for you. Good news for some is that we now have decaf on tap, for those who need it. Enjoy.

What! No beer! That's not fair.
 
Poor Luce. Can you drink fake beer? I ask, because the President's Choice de-alcoholized Red Beer, particularly well-chilled, is not a bad substitute at all. But I'm an ale/bitter drinker. There's a lager subsitute, as well, which is equally not bad if you're a lager drinker.

I never tasted a fake beer that appealed ... but the PC red beer may be worth a try.

In the meantime I drink a lot of Perrier and dream of what's missing in the bubbles ...

I should give it a try.
I had cut out alcohol entirely for a while, got some alcohol free wine for NYE, not close to the same.
Hepatologist says drinking is ok, but I have cut back. I didn't have a drink everyday but hot days in the summer there would be times when most days I would have a beer or two on the deck, or would make some type of margarita type drink. Now it's more like 1-2 drinks in a week. Makes drinking wine kinda tough as Chemguy doesn't drink it. I would have a bottle over a handful of days, might use the end bit in cooking.
I need to find people to share a bottle with, hopefully some nice nights on the weekend for hanging out in the yard. When the weather gets cool I image we'll be cooking with wine whenever I feel like having a glass.
 
Planned a day at the shore property...swimming, kayaking, bbq, and friends....Instead, I sit by the phone waiting for a call from the vet, where I delivered a sick old pooch. Friends still went out and hubby will greet them. I'll bring food and hopefully make it for supper. (picked garden food and cooked all yesterday afternoon...would hate it to go to waste!)
