I am Thankful for My Colombian Coffee!  Thanksgiving

Challenge, Day 5.

 

This is Day 5 of Debbie Reynolds November Challenge.

Also entered in Dick Greenberg's Photography Challenge in the Miscellaneous category.

 

This blog was inspired by Roy Kelley and his blog "Thankful for the morning coffee".  As I woke this morning, I noticed it was quite foggy outside. the sun started to rise from the Fog until it was able to shine brightly throughout the day.  The photo is that Sun trying to find its way through the Fog. Even the bird is flying in a fog. (pun intended)

It reminded me of how I feel in the morning, before I have my cup of coffee. When I was in Weston, Florida several years ago, I stopped to visit my parents.  They took us out to breakfast to a Cuban restaurant and we were introduced to Cafe' Con Leche.  After that, we were hooked. We now have our own version daily, by using an espresso maker, 100% Colombian Coffee and 2% milk.  We use Cafe' Bustelo®, which I just discovered, they now have it brewed for Keurig machines.

 

Boy, am I Thankful!

Hi Larry

I am a big coffee fan, too, but haven't had the coffee you describe. And I get that morning fog!! Coffee is definitely something to be grateful for.

My fog started with a sale agreement that's not getting through to my e-mail, Larry!! I've done everything I can including calling my tech support guy and there is no answer. Yeah, the soft fog can be good or bad, depending upon how you cut through it I guess! (Had him send it to my husband's private e-mail address, which I can't get into until he arrives home from San Diego later today)!

Larry, I am addicted to my cup(s) of coffee, but it is not nearly as fancy as yours!

Sounds like a good thing to be thankful for.  I am a hot tea girl myself but something hot and flavorful is always good.

Good evening again Larry. I can understand gratitude for a good cup of coffee first thing. In Kenya most folks actually drink tead so there is no rush.

Thanks for the mention. Your Cafe' Con Leche is probably a better choice than my coffee!

I appreciate those that like coffee. Mike likes to have his coffee, too, but I don't drink it. I'm kind of allergic to it. In fact these days I'm not doing any caffeine at all except for the occasional glass of iced tea and that is rare.

Good morning, Larry.... coffee!!! my favorite thing besides chocolate. Life without coffee and chocolates is simply not worth living! (French Roast is my bean of choice, by the way.)

Larry Johnston A great cup of java is the perfect way to begin any day. And there are some days when a mate makes it too!

Hi Larry - I love Bustelo! And it will certainly clear up the morning fog. Thanks for another contest entry!

Larry- I remember the first time I had Cuban coffee...my dad took me to a friend's house and I fell in love with it.  I think I was still in elementary school but I loved it!

I've not tried Cafe Bustelo. I do have a penchant for Green Mountain coffees. And that is the first thing that gets done in the morning, putting the coffee on.

Coffee price was always expensive. People use coffee price to gage era and that can go back to 100 years. Regular coffee consumption helps to protection against type 2 diabetes, certain types of cancer. Unfiltered coffee like espresso raises ones cholesterol levels and reduces bone density somewhat.
