Deep dark confessions

Jasmine posted a comment to one of my blog entries about coffee:

no sugar? do you drink black? I bow to you. I just can't live without my cream and sweetener, maybe I'll mature one of these days...

The truth of the matter is that I don't drink coffee black. I have done so only a very few times.

I grew up with a mother who put milk in her coffee, so that's how I learned to like it. Years later, my brother turned me on to the pleasures of "half and half". (Half what and half what? I still don't know.) Then, during my weight loss frenzy, when I was eliminating all excess calories from my diet, I switched to nonfat milk in my cereal, in my milk glass and even --- gasp! oh, the horror of it all! dare I even write it?! --- in my coffee.

And that's where I still am today, although once in a while, I sneak some cream in my coffee...or even, decadently, some whipped cream on top.

  1. I need cream and sugar with mine. Not too much. Just enough to take the edge off.

    My wife claims to be a coffee drinker as well but I really think she just uses it a transferrence method for those flavored creamers. (Honey, if you're reading this I love you!)
