It wasn’t until age who-the-heck knows–somewhere after twenty-five and before sixty–that I embraced coffee. Now I adore it!
But only iced with (shame on me) full-fat milk and stevia. I pretend the stevia un-does the whole-milk damage.
Todays breakfast is in a wee teeny glass Jim stole from a bar in Hong Kong while on leave from Viet Nam.
I LOVE this little glass. Jim maintains he swiped it just for me. Since I am embracing the “manifest-your-future” thinking I pretend he knew I was–eventually–a part of his life.
It’s cute, right? For a long time it lived in the garage holding pencils. I only recently promoted it to kitchen favorite.

I have to amend the “no go to China” thing. I would LOVE seeing Jim Peng, Maple and Miss Gao again. They were an enormous gift in my life.
The Cubans drink sweet expression in mini shot cups. About one ounce – 100% caffeine and sugar – it’s a serious pick me up 👍🏻. I mix it with a slim fast chocolate drink …. for a mocha drink on ice

I love that idea. 100% caffeine sounds perfect. Where do I get that stuff? Do I have to go to Cuba?
I only started drinking coffee about six or seven years ago (in my early 60s) and now it’s my go-to caffeine drink. Hot or cold with half & half and Splenda. It’s a constant conundrum as to which is less healthy: half & half or a regular Coke. Because I live them both!
Then by all means, have them both!
I love that little glass and I don’t think I’ve ever seen it before!
It lived in the garage for years and years. I finally promoted it to kitchen and I adore it. I’ll put your name on it for when we go toes up
I forgot about the slim fast, thx Bonnie! Where do I find the coffee stuff? I seriously need a pick me up in the afternoon.
