COFFEE

Coffee
*A simple drink or a fancy concoction*
  •  Black
  • Cream
  • Sugar
  • Latte
  • Macchiato
  • Espresso
  • Frappuccino
  • French Press
  • Cold Brew
  • Decaf
  • Dopio
  • Cappucino
  • Flat White
  • Breve
  • Americano
  • Caffe Latte
  • Irish Coffee
I believe anyone can find some sort of combination of ingredients for coffee to suit their personality.  If you're a person who likes the darkest strongest coffee out there then maybe espresso is for you.  If you enjoy Fru-Fru, creamy, sugar filled drinks with just a splash of coffee then maybe you should try a frappuccino.  I love coffee. However, if you are not careful you can become addicted to it, I know I am.  Your body gets used to the extra caffeine and it is the sort of caffeine that pop or an energy drink just won't satisfy.  If you do not have your daily dose get ready for a huge headache at about 6:00pm.  Personally, It does not bother me too much to have to drink a little coffee everyday.  Experiment and choose what best suits you, just be ready for what come next, whether it be complete relaxation from the warm fluid or a jittery hyperness caused by caffeine.

Food Poems?




The Beautiful Silver Bowl


Chocolate chip cookie dough is Childhood
Sticky, Globby, Golden dough
Small brown spots of heaven scattered throughout


Little girl sitting on the tiled counter top
Giant silver bowl in her lap
Every beautiful ingredient plopped in with a smile


Some say it was just cheap entertainment
No.
It was quality time spent making a delicious reward


Fun, Happy memories with Mommy and Libby
That's what really mattered
Learning to enjoy the small things in life


Accidental memorization of our altered recipe
Great Grandma Pat's recipe
Scribbled on a yellowing note-card, that was rarely needed


The card still sits in the metal mesh basket
The little girl is now 17
More time passes between each cookie occurrence


But the same question always remains 
Dough, Cookies, or Both?
