What's in your cup?

[Cabaiguan Juan]

I had one with 1/2 teaspoon of suger, and one with no sugar. While both were very good, I did prefer the one with sugar. Not something I could drink alot of though, very VERY rich, even made with 1% milk (now THAT's balsphemous).



Jon, if you ever go anywhere and see a Tim Horton's coffee place, go in and ask for a double/double. Timmy's smokes Dunkin Donuts!!!

What is a double/double? I feel like that is a double shot of espresso with 2 pounds of sugar judging form this thread and your prefered strenght of coffee.

Folgers original with Splenda. Yep, I am a coffee snob.

Kirkland Signature Decaf, roasted by Starbucks and brewed through a $9 coffee maker with a (gasp) paper filter. No milk, no cream, no sugar, no artificial sweetener.

Maybe SLC and I should open a coffee shop.

I rotate between Barney's offerings. Eithopian, Columbian, Puerto Rican, Java, and such. I grind my own every morning and make it fairly strong. My wife dilutes it in half for her cup. And yes there is sugar, not alot, just enough to take the edge out of it. Although I do like a coffee with a bit of bite. Sorry Folgers you are just too tame!

Colombian Cup of Excellence 1st place winner from "La Isla" farm. Caramel, slight honey, some floral notes. Ms. Yasso, the grower of this coffee, is the first female farmer to take first place in this coffee competition. Easy to see why. Enjoy your Sunday, folks.

Indulgence

One of the best ways to become disciplined is to indulge yourself on a regular basis. At first that might sound contradictory. When you think about it, though, indulgence can be a key tool in developing and maintaining discipline.
Discipline always requires denial. For example, if you want to discipline yourself to lose weight, you must deny yourself fattening foods. When you discipline yourself to work hard toward achieving goals you've set for yourself, you deny yourself some of the "fun" activities of life.

We're only human, though, and we need incentives along the way. One powerful incentive is to keep yourself focused on your goals, on the objects of your discipline. Another good way is to schedule a regular indulgence. It's better if your indulgence is something you do regularly -- every day, every week. It is important to be able to look forward to it. And when the time comes, enjoy it. Savor every minute without the least bit of guilt. Take time for yourself and reward yourself for your hard work and discipline. And remember that you'll get the opportunity again and there's no need to "binge." (I use "binge" here in a generic sense, not just as it applies to food.)

One powerful way to take this concept to a higher level is to develop indulgences that actually enhance your discipline. A good example of this is physical exercise. If you can find an exercise that it also a true indulgence, then you can discipline and indulge at the same time. That is a powerful combination.

Try a little indulgence -- you deserve it and it will help to keep you on track.

Just extra sugar & extra cream. My future son-in-law (uggghhhhh) drinks extra-large triple-triple. It's like a little coffee thrown into a cup almost full of sugar & cream.

I had a coach in High School who drank a good dozen cups of coffee a day and probably went through a good pound of sugar too. He was incredibly hyper and short. Scientific proof that drinking a lot of coffee will stunt your growth. I on the other hand have been drinking coffee since 2nd grade and am tall, but that has not been scientifically linked to my coffee intake.

Unclebeanz Taina graces our cups this morning. Simply sparkling cup. Folks, have an awesome Saturday, wherever you are.

The courage to be you

You are unique, with your own special beauty and value to give to life. What a terrible shame it would be if you were to let that beauty be hidden behind your fears. When you worry that you're not good enough, you allow others to control you, and their domination will soon make you miserable. Or when you fool yourself into thinking you're superior to everyone else, you deny yourself the exquisite joy of offering your own special gifts to life.

It takes courage and faith, effort and initiative to be who you are. And it is so very much worth the effort. Though no one else can do it for you, you have what it takes to be magnificently successful at being you. From the deepest secrets of your soul to the face you put forward to the world, every bit of you is meant to be the authentic and original person you are. Listen to that quiet, persistent voice inside that you know is always right. This is your opportunity to fulfill and express the real and lasting joy of being you. Let the beautiful person inside of you come more fully to life as each moment passes. Let yourself, and the world around you, know the joy and fulfillment that is meant just for you to express.
