No coffee for me. Caffeine free since 2003. Except for the occasional Diet Coke. I buybthe caffeine free version for at home but they never have that when out.

Out! Get out, right now!

My mom is hard core. She likes her Taster's Choice instant coffee with no sugar and the teeniest drop of milk. It's disgusting.

That's what got me through midnight shifts - eat a spoon full of instant crystals and wash it down with real coffee.

I like any coffee. Some is just better than others. I drank percolator coffee for years until I joined here and bought a real maker. Then a French press. I had no problem with instant coffee until I got a proper maker. I still have almost a full jar of instant, probably will use it for developing some film.

Bet you won't like this https://www.orleanscoffee.com/how_to/what-is-chicory/ We had a couple of weekly deliveries into New Orleans. One driver in particular LOVED this stuff, and was always bringing some back to slip in the coffee maker in the break room.

Flooding to the left of me, tornadoes to the right... Not exactly, but we had storms come thru sooner than I thought was expected and the worst of it went both ways around me. There was a tornado pretty far north of me where it's flatter than a pancake, with trees down, barns damaged, etc. but thankfully so far no injuries. Flooding in various flood prone areas that get it anytime it rains hard and fast for a short time, but worse than usual from what they're saying.

I hear birds starting to chirp which is a good sign. Then for tomorrow morning - snow flurries! again! And the same for Fri./Sat.
This is really getting old.

Douwe Egberts instant coffees are very good!

My dear old grandmother always had a jar of Sanka or Folgers Instant on hand. I hear it is still popular in Australia and New Zealand. I work for a company that owns and produces many coffee brands. They just installed a new type of machine in our break room that mixes a super strong liquid version ( comes frozen and you thaw just before use ) of instant coffee and hot water. It still tastes terrible IMO.

I only drink espressos out in the big wide world. At home i drink DE Gold with Jersey (Gold Top) milk.

Sanka is the cafe de la journee in Korea. Sanka is what they served in coffee shops when Gary lived there. Thankfully they typically only poured half a cup.

Youse people have a good night and a better tomorrow if at all possible.
Supposed to start storming about 10pm.
I sure hope they understand if I don't do the Marquee in pouring rain.

Gary wrapped up work today then started to remove a giant Giant Bird of Paradise by the pond. It Turned into a monster job and due to tight quarters, Gary ended up mulching it out in little pieces with hand tools. But, the job is done, fini ... three buckets of compost later Gary has replanted a Flowering Maple. Gary was pleased with his compost, dark and earthy smelling with tons of worms. Gary ran into a few grubs, the grubs ended up putting a smile on the face of a couple of Koi. Gary’s back is painful, he has retired to the recliner watching Rachel. He and Mary Lou, her back hurst also, are enjoying a glass of vino. The wine is from Artiste in Los Olivos and it is delish. Quite complex and full of flavor. Miss Maggie is next to Gary, laying on her back with her head hanging over the edge. Gary rubs her stomach.
