Cup of Sweetness

Coffee house forgiveness, or at least less annoyance, and how to turn your morning beverage from a diuretic to a quick weight gain method.

So, I have discussed my dislike for the Americano, a watery, burnt tasting waste of coffee beans. Made even worse when more water is added. And I know that there are a lot of people that like Americano's, prefer them to that swill of brewed coffee that I love so much. I am not, however, against all forms of espresso drinks. For example, I love a good mocha. Mochas, however, have sugar, so I stick to my black brew. What to do, full gift card, don't like their coffee, can't drink mochas...then I see it...the Cup of Sweetness. Basically a breve with honey and cinnamon. Might be okay...so I try it.

Heavenly.

(Breves are espresso with half and half, unlike a latte, which is espresso with milk. Which probably explains why so heavenly. And why it's a good thing I didn't add too much to that gift card.)

More sweetness...my morning alarm clock. He has his own room where he has his food, a litter box, a bed, and where he spends the night. He is fine with that until around 6 am, when he knows I should be up, and he starts banging on the door to be let out. But then he lets me hold him and pet him, making it a pretty happy alarm clock.
