Good luck. Hope you find a bargain.

I shall report when I return.

I like my cream and sugar with some coffee in it

I'm the same way. My mom says its called 'Light & Sweet'. Which, incidentally, describes me to a 'T'.

Actually, I have never had the experience of any four legged animals with paws before Fruity, so I am not sure what you mean.

Well lessee ... some people are of the "school" of letting the cat "out of the house" as soon as possible. Kinda an equivilent of "throwing the child into the water" so it can swim. I like to first keep it in one room, then get it used to several rooms, then introduce other cats into the rooms, and THEN let it outside. Usually it stays underneath one part of the house and gets used to where the "outdoors" food bowl is, but then over time it starts to roam around with the other animals as well.

In New York City this is known as "a rey-guyah-lah" (i.e. "a regular").

However, if you ask for a "regular" out here in California, you will get it straight and very black!

Messed up!

Messed up!

One of the fellas in the office here is from NYC (the Bronx) and he moved out to SF in the 70's. He was a carpenter. Anywho ... it was he who told me about this. His boss was a huge man and rather ... err ... straightforward. One day he asked for a "rey-guyah-lah" and when it was brought to him black a string of curses sprouted forth that made everyone's ears blister at the intensity. "WHAT'S THIS!!!! .... " [insert anything possible you can imagine]

I also learned from another fella (one of the IT's before me) who was from the south about Molasses and black coffee. It is quite good, although I was quite suspicious at first!

Which is why whenever I am visiting/vacationing someplace away from home, I tell the counterperson exactly how I want my coffee.

 

[Mycanid]

Yes ... I know what you mean. Tell me ... what is your favorite coffee?

I mentioned mine being a Peets brand called "Major Dickison".

But one of my favorite treats around Christmas time is a coffee/egg nog combo.

My absolute favorite is Premium Arabica Coffees Millstone flavored Kahlúa Vanilla Crème.

Around the holidays I like having a warm cup of Irish Coffee, black.
