Morning All!

Is the season REALLY only 3 weeks from today?!

 

[Janey]

It's been soo cold here today - made me think that it really is getting close!

Coffee Mate is a well-known creamer but they can also get it in liquid form

That shows the flavours.

Our Coffee Mate is just your ordinary flavoured powder stuff. Our other alternative is cream; single double or whipping. Over the pond there is a wonderful thing called half and half which is a mix of 1/2 whole milk and ½ cream, typically used as a cream in coffee. Half-and-half does not whip, but it can be used in place of whipping (heavy) cream in many recipes for less fat cooking.

you have just reminded me, i need to get a coffee syrup. i need one now that the autumn is here, it will give me something to get out of bed for!

Okay, just back from a recon. in our local supermarket. In the chiller cabinet was milk (leaded, partially leaded and unleaded), cream (single, double, whipping), strawberry, chocolate and banana milkshakes, sour cream and soya milk. There was also fresh custard and creme fraiche.

In the coffee aisle was powdered Coffee Mate - original and "lite".

Think we need a Care package..........:-?

us flipping brits are clearly no good at coffee :-?

Maureen - this is terrible news - no flavorings for your special coffees. If we could send you a refrigerated care package, I would send you the flavored creamer. (Well, if it wern't so hugely expensive.) Maybe you should start an import business!

 

[Binger]

did someone say coffee??

YABBA...

 

[Binger]

Binger - you aren't drinking your coffee black, are you?

I would drink coffee out of a 57 chevy hub cap if I had to....

YABBA... Coffee: You can sleep when you are dead! or plaid....

YABBA....

Good Morning, friends of Christmas!

Let's see how our count stands on this fine Friday morning:
Days to the Season: 20 (Less than 3 weeks, now!)
Days to Christmas Day: 62 (Less than 9 weeks.)
Days to Halloween: 7 (Exactly ONE week from today!)
So close, I can taste it! (the candy, that is.)

A bit warmer this morning at 50 here in Raleigh.
We have a few clouds at the moment and rain this evening is possible.
It is more likely tomorrow, then clear for Sunday.

Hey, Bing! You will be happy to know that I have gotten so I like coffee-flavored ice cream.
(But fear not, folks! I shall not start drinking the "real" stuff.)
Now, if only I can get Carl to whip up a batch of TEA flavored ice cream.
Hmmm.......

Have a Fabulous Friday, Folks.
And may your Weekend get off to a Wonderous start!
