I just entered a contest to win a great coffee Keurig maker (list price $199) at http://www.momdot.com/keurig-platinum-brewer-giveaway-199-jan-29th/comment-page-2/?wpc=dlc#comment-82691
I have an older, less fancy model, but I can assure you, it is a really great machine. It brews one cup at a time, which is perfect in our household. It uses those little cups of premeasured grounds, but an adapter is included to use your favorite brew.
In sorta related news, I am working on becoming an affiliate with a coffee distributor, and will let you know more as the story develops.
I love coffee.

My big weekend
Did a lot of fun food stuff this weekend. The Mrs. fired up the new coffee maker. She had a Kona blend, and I had Italian something or other. Both were delicious. We both take ours with just some soy milk, no sugar, so the full coffee effect comes through.
I also had some fresh watermelon. I know it's not local, because we are a few months away from that here in beautiful Downtown, New Jersey. She bought it at a place called Delicious Orchards. I have no idea what she paid, but it had to be a lot. I have found, the more quaint the name and setting, the higher the price. The cheapest food prices are usually found at stores with names ending in Rite, Town, or Mart. Anything ending in Orchard, Grove, or Acres and you can almost be assured they will have a loan officer on duty.
By the way, Delicious Orchards is wonderful, albeit somewhat pricey. They have a lot of baked goods made right on the premises. The Mrs, did bring home a tray of brownies that were fantatstic. Really chocolatey. I have had an epiphany concerning chocolate lately. I checked the calorie count in a brownie, and find it's a bargain for chocoholics like me. I can have half a brownie (around 100 calories) and its chocolate goodness satisfies me as much as a much higher calorie candy bar.
I only hope it's not like the Seinfeld episode where the yogurt place lied about the calories in a serving.

MMMM Sunday morning
I haven't had my favorite Sunday morning breakfast in a few months. It's a diabetics nightmare, so I have been avoiding it. I will give in soon, though, I'm sure.
Here's my way to start a Sunday:
Start with Bob's Red Mill 10 Grain Pancake Mix. Add the water as directed.
Add in some chopped pecans
Add in some fresh fruit (blueberries or strawberries rock!)
Then just make them on a griddle.
Serve with butter and pure maple syrup. Please don't use that artificial junk.
Give me a hot cup of coffee to go with it, and it's a meal of meals. Perfect start to a perfect day.
By the way, the Mrs. serves me a special coffee most days. She mixes in a package of Swiss Miss instant hot cocoa in my mug to make my ordinary coffee a mocha latte.

I'm pretty excited
Saturday is my traditional day for toast and an omelet. I don't know if anyone ever noticed, but I am a creature of habit. Of course, it's usually bad habits, but still.
Today, I'm hoping for an onion and mushroom omelet and some nice whole grain toast with butter. Usually, on Saturday, the Mrs. makes coffee, too. She puts a packet of Swiss Miss in my cup. Today she's making cinnamon flavored, which should be good with the chocolate.
Lunch is going to be my usual Saturday afternoon fare: grilled soy cheese on whole grain bread. Saturday night is my wild and crazy night. Not sure what I'm going to have, but it's important to have a bit of mystery in my routine. : )
