coffee




The other night I went to a Finnish Thanksgiving with a Finnish Friend of mine, Kata. Finns actually don't have Thanksgiving but this one was put on by some Christians at her medical school. To start the night off and to get to know everyone they went around the circle and said they're favorite smell and why. It was torn between the Forrest and Coffee.

MMmm! Mine was obviously coffee. One of my favorite things to do is to wake up and make coffee. Its one of the benefits of waking up in the morning. I use the French Press. I know its good to go when after it sits for two minutes i can't see through the water. Then I know its dark enough. Afterwards I press the French press , I put two teaspoons of sugar, dry creamer into my cup. In Finland I have a christmas cup that I use thats my favorite, so I pour it into my christmas cup. I sip it and then I think "this needs cinnamon" and I dash some cinnamon! I got that idea from a friend I met in Germany, Kristen. It makes it magical!

In fact I am drinking coffee as I write this!
