Brunch at Amandine. Coffee, mushroom quiche, vegetable sandwich, and a slice of fruit tart.
My current go-to morning drink: Poor man’s peppermint latte.
Grande bold with one pump of peppermint syrup, and whole milk from the milk station. Cost: $1.95, versus $4.55.
Today’s indulgence: Taking a breather, enjoying the blue sky on a beautiful warm day.
I love the feeling of warmth on my skin. Days like this. I thought I needed a break so I got a coffee and now sit outside to enjoy it. Looking around there are a lot of others out here. If makes me happy to see them out to enjoy the weather also. I make a promise to myself, to come out and take a breather more often.
Today’s breakfast: Coffee and cookies.
It’s Friday, overcast and gloomy out - I felt the mist sprinkle my face as I walked to my car this morning. Cool out, I have my space heater on warming my feet. My cardigan is soft. The coffee, hot and comforting. Cookies, the perfect treat for a sweet ending to the week.
Today’s indulgence: Fresh ground coffee.
Sunday morning. I have an appointment to get to, my alarm wakes me up. I want to give myself plenty of time to ground, brew, and enjoy a cup of coffee. I like to spoil myself with coffee, made with love, on the weekends. On weekdays, it’s mostly Keurig or a quick brew to-go in a travel mug. Today, I select Black Diamond blend from Looney Bean, my favorite coffee shop in Mammoth. I picked this up last week on our family mini-vacation. I love my funky monkey mug.
