Remarkable milestone

We have reached a point where we have a new coffee drinker in the house. She has arrived at this point according to the rites and traditions of the family.

I remember my graduation to coffee drinker in Butuan (yes, at 12!) when I began dumping nescafe, sugar and powdered milk into hot water. I now shudder at the thought, and know that my daughter will know good coffee before she even starts heading for Starbuck’s when she has her own car.

    hey cool! welcome the that milestone time, i guess. I’m glad I finally made it a couple years ago. (jk).

    Hey tech_sam, speaking of coffee, i’ve a bit of the Christmas left (i used a lot while with mom and dad), but will grind up what is left on tuesday when I have breakfast w/ ariana (the elder). Thanks again, it tastes so good! I insisted on mom brewing some of yours after having a bit of theirs one morning. Sigh. Maybe I should send them some coffee.

    Oh yes! A real milestone! Congrats, A, from G-daddy & Lola! Enjoy the coffee! Yes, ours isn’t very good coffee, and we really enjoyed Luke’s largesse!

    Coffee! I never drank it as a kid and only began in the Army. During my years as a salesman, many clients would suggest we go for coffee. I began drinking tea or cocoa, and eventually quit it altogether. Haven’t had any in a really long time. Grammy drinks decaf, however.
    Daniel mentioned Lent, and he was searing off looking at blogs for the duration. I forget when Lent begins, know it ends at Easter, but I am looking at blogs.
    Great recipes! Will get Grammy on the job to take them down. Poppa
