The Coffee House

[SquarePeg1]

Good stuff. There is one in Glendale and one in Riverside. Their shaved ice is to die for ... their ice cream is very creamy buy not as good as Gary’s Famous Homemade Ice Cream. (Made with coconut milk.)

After having Leilani's Coconut ice cream on a warm brownie with chocolate sauce (sorry Smoke) I fell in love with coconut ice cream only to find out when we got back home that they didn't sell it anywhere. I kept asking everywhere we went and finally, a couple of years ago Richardson's came out with a coconut flavor. It's my official favorite go to flavor when I treat myself to real ice cream.

SquarePeg could NEVER live near Gary with all that wine and red meat and coffee and ice cream served up to friends. She would be enormous!

Yay Leo, you got power! I hope you don't get the brunt of the storm this time. For all of you on the east coast, hope it's not so bad this time.

I looked at that Halo ice cream but it has sugar alcohol type sweetener and boy, does that do a number on me. Says it has a laxative effect, no kidding! for me that was an understatement. Maybe it doesn't have as much as other products I tried, but I'm not going near that stuff ever again!

I try to go with low fat, low sodium, low sugar, low anything/everything and cook from scratch and avoid fast food/junk food. Easier said than done! lol Ice cream is my achilles heel. Graeters. Who came out with a lower sugar version of limited flavors which is still pretty darn good. But I gotta have their iconic raspberry chocolate chip once in awhile (and I don't usually like fruit and chocolate together).

 

[vintagesnaps]

Coconut chocolate chip... yeah, that's another flavor I really like. And I ordered a Caffeine Fix tonight - that's what it was called! special on coffee from an area grocery/gourmet store that luckily has online ordering since it's not all that close. That and some Irish soda bread.

JC don't they have hockey in Flint? They need some hobbies or something.

... but happy.

Man, I love ice cream. LOVE IT. If I was told I could never eat ice cream again, you'd eventually find me dead on the kitchen floor with a half eaten bowl of melted ice cream! Don't care what brand, even Blue Bell.

@Gary A. Opened the Guatemalan coffee this morning. I'd just gotten used to the Honduran actually started to like it. Now it's a new learning curve. One more bag of Costa Rican, to go. Need to be considering my next order, any suggestions?

All this coffee business started in Ethiopia. In homage to the home of coffee, pick an Ethiopian variety.

Y'all is some verbose peeps!
Poor Michigan.
Coffee here is the usual Folgers.
Today is my Friday. The eagle poops and everything.

I wish it was my Friday. Not looking forward to the coming storm. Expected accumulation is now 8 to 12 inches of wet, heavy snow.

Maybe I need a severe case of islanditis, the only cure being 2 or 3 weeks on a tropical island. Fiji sounds good about now.

you are dieting and have a sweet tooth check out Enlightened and/or Halo Top ice creams. Very low in sugar, high in protein. Whether they are good or not is flavor

Sorry but there's only one ice cream - Blue Bell. It's a southern thing. A 1/2 cup is around a 150 calories

Breyers (Vanilla) or Gifford's of Maine (Moose Tracks)

Breyers (Vanilla

Breyers is good though still under Blue Bell. Maybe it's a cultural thing here, like Milo's sweet tea.

More snow and wind today. How much? Depends upon who you ask and what time it is. On the coastal plain here in CT, no one ever quite knows what’s going to fall as snow versus rain.

It was nice to be able to work out this morning. I’m finally getting back to respectable levels on my lifts. But that also means that I’m close to losing my coffee by the end of the last set.

 

[SquarePeg1]

It’s a mix here. I’m hoping for rain to win the battle. 1/2 day of school today for Princess - the 1st Wednesday of every month...

Got a new air purifier to try to cut down on my allergies this coming spring. I can’t stop yawning. Could it be sucking all of the oxygen out of the room? Or did I stay up until 1:30am editing the last of the softball team photos? Both I think.

I’m weeks behind on my 52 week Dogwood challenge. I think they lost me at “zoom burst” followed by “forsaken”, followed by “selective color”... just can’t seem to get back into it.

My performance has even been more shameful. Between the camera switch, being stupid busy at work, my kids not sleeping, and giving whatever time necessary to the brewery, my mind is too tapped to do anything creative.

A favorite dessert of mine is plain Greek yogurt - I stress plain, not flavored - with honey drizzled all over it. It can even be low fat or fat free yogurt, as long as it's Greek style (strained). The tart/sweet combo is awesome!
