And for the record: I miss Twisted Ellen's hilarious blog. *Cries* Come baaaaaack!!!
Soooo. I am currently sipping on my free sample of Teechino's herbal coffee.
Yeeeaaaah.
You have to tell yourself "This isn't coffee. It's just a warm, brown beverage," before you brew up a cup of this stuff. Otherwise you're in for a huuuuuge disappointment. It's not bad. Well okay, it kind of is. It smells like dates and mock coffee flavoring (awful!) and tastes like water. Warm water. Warm sugar water if you add come evaporated cane juice in there.
It looks exactly like coffee if you pour it into a mug, black. It could be the perfect coffee impostor if you're ever in a situation that requires such a thing. Like in a spy mission. Or you could use it as "prop coffee" on a movie set. It could certainly serve well as an April Fool's joke.
Or if you're in that in-between state of deciding "do I want coffee or do I want tea?" then maybe this Teechino stuff will do the trick.
I'm glad this was a free sample.
In case any of you are curious, my absence was due to "Operation Kidnap Grandpa".
My parents and I have joint custody of my grandfather. He's been spending the week with me, weekends with the 'rents. We've had enough of his "living alone 300 miles away" business.
More to come later. I'm going to dump this herbal stuff down the drain and make some real coffee. From Brazil. Mmmmm....
Ta-ta.
