A recipe for morning:
Unclip the lid on the white glazed canister full of glistening chocolate brown beans. Lean forward slightly to breathe in their intoxicating fragrance. Transfer some into the grinder, one scoop for every cup, and press the button to allow the razor-sharp blades to do their work. Brew the fine powder with clear water and let the aroma tantalize as the heady scent filters through the house. Pour the dark silky liquid into a mug and take a sip – ouch! – but not too soon. Warm your hands, drink in the goodness, and prepare for the day.
Ahhh.

Oh, truly, my most favorite part of the day. That first cup. Coffee truly makes me happy .

When I was younger, I didn’t like coffee even though I was Dutch in MI and that’s pretty much a ‘sin’ – to not drink coffee… After many years of waiting for children, I had a 3-year-old-finally-adopted-daughter, 3 Foster Children (17, 12 and 7) who had been entrusted to us ‘on an emergency’ (which then lasted 6 months!) and a one-week-old-biologically-newborn-son… I decided I WOULD begin to drink coffee – to keep going! Now many years later, it still IS ‘the best part of waking up’! ;-} (And I see on the News today that it is helpful for Long Life!! – Terrific!)

Can’t start the day without it, can we, Dawn? South Indian filter coffee is pretty great.
