Would You Like Some Coffee with Your Post?

It’s been nearly five months since I’ve enjoyed a steamy soy latte — and boy, will the baby need to give me plenty of coffee IOUs when he’s born!   In the meantime, will you visually join me for a virtual cup of coffee?

Yes, my cravings for coffee are so powerful that I’ve been creating “steaming” cups of paper sprinkled with coffee grounds in vintage Italian cappuccino mugs.  The sad part is that I am only half kidding!

The empty coffee canister seems so naked…but thankfully, he is accessorized with retro type!

I promise I won’t even plug in my espresso maker! (Thank goodness for Italian stove-top ingenuity!)

Thankfully, I can still enjoy an occasional cup of green or white tea.  I’ve also grown partial to Roobios, as it is delicious and naturally caffeine-free.   (P.S. If you happen to spot the above mid-century modern tea set I prop sourced to Mad Men for the new season, please let me know!  I sadly don’t watch the show, as we don’t have a TV in our house.)

What is your favorite indulgence beverage? May you enjoy one or several this weekend!

    My favorite is the cup of cappuccino. The paper steam actually looked real for just a second!

    Dear Grace,

    I have not been a good friend…and owe you a big cup of joe. I have one of those Italian steamers, so come on over and I’ll steam you some warm milk and honey like I used to get at Cafe Roma in Berkeley. That was when I took a break from the caffeine rush.

    I also owe you a personal note…I’ve been neglectful and miss you! You will hear from me soon, my dear friend.

    Ciao bella,
    Suzanne

    I enjoyed an occasional coffee from starbucks or a pepsi at the movies while pregnant and all was well. Maybe you could get one with a half- caf shot?
    I love the wooden shelves behind that cool retro coffee canister.

    So not really on the same topic as your post, but I found this today and I just can’t resist sharing. Mrs. Agathe’s dishwasher quit working so she called a repairman. Since she had to go to work the next day, she told him, “I’ll leave the key under the mat. Fix the dishwasher, leave the bill on the counter, and I’ll mail you the check. Oh, and by the way…don’t worry about my Doberman. He won’t bother you. But, whatever you do, do NOT under ANY circumstances talk to my parrot!” When the repairman arrived at Mrs. Agathe’s apartment the next day, he discovered the biggest and meanest looking Doberman he had ever seen. But just as she had said, the dog simply laid there on the carpet, watching the repairman go about his business. However, the whole time the parrot drove him nuts with his incessant cursing, yelling and name-calling. Finally the repairman couldn’t contain himself any longer and yelled, “Shut up, you stupid ugly bird!” To which the parrot replied, “Get him, Spike!”

    Losing a pet is truly losing a member of the family and the void of their unconditional love is so difficult to bear. My thoughts are with you and your family.
