From Denny: Early in the morning you just needthat first cup of hot steaming coffee to function, to face the day, to feel all nice and relaxed so no matter what comes your way this day it really does not matter. In our house we are big fans of cafe au lait from a Community Coffee New Orleans blend with chickory (reduces acid) and with low fat organic milk. We live in Louisiana with an organic diary down the road right here in the city; how convenient is that! :)
Check out this blog for more posts with funny coffee quotes! Thanks for visiting! Come back often and I'll reserve you a special seat at the front of the house...
