Coffee is a simple pleasure that nurtures my spirit. It doesn't take much to prepare it, other that carefully measuring the right amount of beans to grind, and water to percolate (or French Press). Like some form of wizard creating a magic potion, I play with the ratio of water to beans, in order to create the desired strength.
Opening the bag and inhaling the sweet aroma of roasted coffee beans awakens all of my senses. I love to admire the beans- some are dark and strong and range down to a golden hue. Just to think that a I'm mere minutes away from enjoying a pleasure brings a smile to my face. Anticipation is the word!
Coffee has always been in my life, even as a child, always enriching moments of a hectic life. Perhaps I should embark and review some of the fantastic coffees I've tried.
Now with the extended induction period on Atkins, there are limited treats that I can have, and I'm glad coffee, in moderation, is one of them. I've lost over 10 lbs with more to lose, so I make coffee a great start to my day nurturing me to conquer the world or at least tame a few dragons.
I received a scented coffee bouquet for my upcoming birthday, and can't imagine anything more delightful.
