We were away this weekend with friends at the coast. In the morning the normal routines of most normal American people commenced. With the 21st century twist of the Keurig. Having considerate friends like I do, I hear this a lot: "Can I get you some coffee?" While my responses vary, on Saturday my chosen response was "No thanks, I don't drink coffee." The follow up response was as follows: "You don't drink coffee? You don't drink coffee, ever? You should blog about why you don't drink coffee."
The last part was a little blogging rub, but I thought I would kick off this week's preview with that little nugget of information. For the record, I don't drink coffee because I don't like it. I think it smells amazing, but I think it tastes like awful in a cup. When I need an after dinner pick me up, I will sometimes order a double espresso and think of the fun to come while I force myself to drink it.
What I do drink in the mornings and love is tea. I love a fragrant Earl Grey, a nice warm green tea, a decaf herbal tea in the evening, and my absolute favorite tea, the one I drink daily is Harney & Son's Paris tea. It is fragrant, delicious, and is a black tea, so it's just as strong as coffee. And much more enjoyable. So there's that.
Tomorrow is Monday and the weather is cool. In traditional Monday fashion, I'll be soaking some red beans to make my Red Beans and Rice with a Texas twist. We're grilling a flank steak on Tuesday and having some leftover red beans on Halloween night when we sit outside and greet all the little ghosts and goblins. We'll also be talking about an important wish list item that I think could really help families get on track with nutrition. There might be some things you can do in your area to help make a change.
Here's to a great week! Kicked off with Once Upon a Time, Boardwalk Empire, and Revenge. Sunday night TV is my JAM.
