New Year's reception TOMORROW? See above... We already received it almost three weeks ago. By any chance are you also still using the red and chrome teaspoons?
Please post of picture of you wearing your new dress!

I shall have a small (4oz) amount of Bombay Sapphire in an 8oz glass (non-crystal) poured slowly, using my left hand (I'm left-handed) over six hexagonal ice cubes. (No holes in the middle of the ice cubes. Wait... can we still call a hexagonal lump of ice a cube? )

Yes, I am... but I am not a coffee sob. I also hang around a coffee forum so I can put on a good show, but... got Folgers in my cup this morning... to them thats like ummm calling Lipton tea I guess.

Back in 2001, on a ferry boat off the coast of peninsular Malaysia, we met a young Swedish fellow who referred to Folger's as "Prisoner Coffee." When we asked him why, he said that in Swedish jails, Folger's is the coffee that is served in the mess hall! I don't know if it's reliable info or not, but I'll can still see his face as he described it.

It is inexpensive, so believable. They probably would brew it weak at a guess to save money.

Any brand of coffee if made weak is horrendous.

Pu-Erh in one cup. Oatmeal in the other.
I consider that pretty complicated already

Except being made weak at the knees in the right way.

Water that used to be iced in my cup. But a fresh cup from when last I commented.

Looks like someone needs to hold up the tea drinker's honour here. A mug of Peet's Anniversary Breakfast Blend, brewed for three minutes at 200°F. But honestly, I am going to have to find a new breakfast blend. This is almost gone.
