Coffee Now!
I woke up today and knew I had a lot of work to do. This week is a busy week and my boss's brother died so I have to do some extra work. I kind of stood around for a minute or two and thought to myself, "Coffee now!" I started to cook two hard boiled eggs and took out some bread to warm up, and then I went across the street for the coffee. It was at that moment that I realized my normal habits with coffee: sugar and cream please. So instead I ordered a plain ice-coffee and I got to tell you I'm not a fan. I know a lot of people love the taste of coffee but I just found out I like the sweetener and cream a lot more. I then thought I could add some almond milk I had in the fridge, but I checked the ingredients and noticed sugar was second after water. I've decided I'm just going to drink tea because I don't usually put anything in it anyways, plus it's cheaper. My attention drifted away from the coffee and onto the eggs. I love eggs but I tend to use salt on them more than anything. I tried to think of what I could add for flavor and came up with cayenne pepper (I didn't see anything about not using spices, let me know if this is not cool). Once I added that I thought they were delicious and I didn't miss the salt at all. I'm thinking that adding spice to all my meals will make me forget about the salt. Now that that's said: BACK TO WORK!

gonna have to try that.. i've been avoiding the hard-boiled variety of eggs, b/c it's easier to get it all down when i scramble the veggies into the solitary egg. good luck with managing the work load and all the eating.
ReplyDeleteYep, go for the spices. Cinnamon is good in coffee, paprika is nice on eggs. Just no spice mixes, because they usually have tons of salt too!
ReplyDeleteyep, switching over to black coffee is kinda harsh, huh? lately, i've been taking a small amount of my morning milk and adding it to my coffee - skim milk is a far cry from whole or cream, but it's actually tasting good now.
ReplyDeleteIn addition to spices, don't forget garlic, onion, and a squeeze of lemon or lime. I find that citrus makes all kinds of things taste better. And to combine our passions, mango with lime juice and cayenne is delicious, especially if it's nice and cold.
