I really am becoming addicted to that first cup of coffee in the morning. I'm not sure who I blame more -- agamisu, or that restaurant owner in Florence who refused to let me have tea, and instead served me my first cup of exquisitely-made cappuccino. Or possibly some recent ancestor, who also gave me my taste for fermented goat milk and other reportedly disgusting things. Currently drinking fresh-ground Jamaican Blue Mountain, and feeling decidedly decadent.

The reason for the coffee is that I'm in the middle of another rush line-edit (their failure to plan/make deadline is apparently making my livelihood). The author is award-winning and multiply published. The plot is not impressing me, mainly because part of my brain is going "but that's silly" as I work my way through it. But one reader's silly is another reader's fascinating, so....

REAL Jamacian Blue Mountain?

I hope you gave it a touch of half 'n half. Nectar of the gods...

Maybe I shouldn't ask you how to brew this coffee I'm gonna grind for the party. (Both leaded and unleaded.)

A splash of lactose-free milk and a spoonful of sugar, until it's caramel-colored and bttersweet. Yum. I can't drink much of it, but I savor every sip.

And I'm a firm believer in one scoop per cup of water, with a shake for the gods, after you measure it out. Too weak, and why bother. Too strong, and you ahve to add more milk to balance it out.

Ah, yes, that's what I learned -- same as good tea, one per cup and one for the pot! I hope to have two going -- watch no one having coffee today. What do you want to do during the banquet -- just wait to see who's around for a restaurant? Having a private meal with Himself?

and yeah, real Blue Mountain, bought on-site and lugged home. Some people buy cigars, or rum.... well, I would have bought those, too, but coffee trumped it all.

Definitely coffee first!
