For coffee lovers


This is my new favorite obsession. I've always notice the Keurig coffee machines but never thought much about it. But walking in Costco I couldn't help but to be attracted to this little new technological device that promises to brew the perfect cup of coffee every time. It even has a "iced" feature. Yes, for you Iced Coffee/Tea lovers. My purchase included additional "k-cups" which are the little special cups that your coffee grounds or tea goes in. lovers!. You stick in your favorite coffee brand/flavor/type and throw it away after you are done. Also, they give you a reusable filter so you can use your own favorite grounds or if you dont want to keep buying the "k-cups." So that must be a winover for coffee I love the concept because then I don't have to measure coffee grounds, clean up and such us on-the-go have to deal with. Especially since I am the only individual that drinks coffee in the household it is perfect because it brews one serving at a time in under less than a minute. The machine is a bit more pricy than your average coffee brewer along with the "k-cups" But I calculated that it comes out to be a little over $.50 per cup. Not bad at all for a cup of gourmet coffee. That is even cheaper than getting it at the local gas station and especially for those that frequent starbucks for their lattes, mochas and what not.
P.S.- I'm drinking lemon iced tea made with the courtesy of my new machine.

Breakfast not-so-special

Wow. I know it's been awhile since blogging in here. Today is my first official day of "summer vacation" which only means plenty of time to catch up on house chores and school-related studying and assignments. Boo. This morning J and I went to a local diner to have some breakfast and I thought their "Mexican Tuesday" menu was their special of the day but apparently the listed items on the white board which I happened to overlook had breakfast specials. It wasn't til after I ordered off the menu and finished my food that I realized I coulda gotten the same thing for 3 dollars less. Hmmph!
