I Need Coffee Creamer…

I don’t know why I thought vitamin D milk would taste good in my coffee. I was thinking I could cut back on my sugar, but that was a very bad idea. I guess I will just try adding less. 

That last thought is what I actually did today. My coffee wasn’t as sweet as I like, but I can handle it. I was once again happily singing my coffee song – “I’m gonna get some coffee, some coffee, some coffee, I’m gonna get some coffee, coffee right now coffee right now.” 

I am drinking ice coffee, until I get a coffee pot, but I am thinking about getting one that makes hot & cold  coffee. At least that was the idea. I thought about when I worked a short time at Starbucks and they didn’t have a coffee pot that did both ice & hot coffee.

I also surprised myself by not asking Google, but I was on Amazon looking for a book. I didn’t find the notebook I was looking for, but I did get an answer to my second question.

I believe I still have to go back online to read some reviews, because this is a new gadget for me. I don’t know if I’ve gotten old, but it’s cool. I am learning. 

  • Side note : I was  going to look up at least three coffee pots, but one video caught my attention. I also remembered what a teacher once told me, “Your first answer is usually your best answer,” so with that in mind. I had to see if it was on Amazon. It was on Amazon. It’s a Ninja

I had to rethink about not looking for something else, because the Ninja ice & hot coffee pot is over $100.00 and it is cool. When I get a place of my own and able to host a few friends. I will invest in this coffee pot.

The Hamiton 2-way coffee pot is a little cheaper and I believe a little easier to make a cup of coffee every morning. I wonder if it comes in a different color. I am being a real girly girl right now.

The word “New”

Leave a comment

There must be a new definition for the word “new,” because I thought new meant something like:

  • You haven’t done before
  • A place you haven’t visit
  • A game you hadn’t played
  • A recipe you saw online and finally tried it for the first time.
  • A hair style, go to a movie premiere, or buy your first car 

And the list goes on, because that is what I consider the word new means. Let’s see what I find out what Google says: 

1. Google says: new [nju:] adjective – not existing before; made, introduced, or discovered recently or now for the first time.

2.    https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/new

  • New (adjective) having recently come into existence  

I could list a few other examples, but they all say pretty much the same thing and these words are basically what I already thought. The person who told me the meaning of “new” was wrong. Okay let me replay what was said:

I asked, “Are we going with the new set-up?”

“There isn’t a new set-up. I just haven’t given you the new update.” 

I was thinking, “I know I am old, but do you not hear the words you are saying?” Because, I heard you say the word new. Hahaha I guess you don’t understand what that word means?

I wanted to work on my story, looked at the first three lines, and lost my train of thoughts. I started thinking about coffee. Okay, let me take a breath, and get a cup of coffee.

Now I am looking at a pink and white prayer blanket I started working on two or three months ago and I am close to tying it off. 

So, do I work on my book, crochet project, or –

Words are not coming clearly, but I want to post something. Questions without Answers are making me want to laugh.

I am looking around my room, because I have also wanted to rearrange my room. I guess I have my answer. Music will be a little loud, because I am home alone and I can sing along without my bad voice ignoring anyone else.

I am also going to try and make my own candle. Don’t know how that will come out, but never know until you try. That’s my point today is, “to try”…

~Sorry, this isn’t coming out right and I want to work on my room while there is light, and I am so over trying to figure this out. I still don’t like computers…..

My Quiche….

Leave a comment

I knew I was tired of getting up early, so I could have a good breakfast before  walking out of the door at 5am, because I knew my break was at 11am.

I tried cooking a few boiled eggs, thinking of a light breakfast would be a good idea, but that breakfast was never filling. One time I would have added a few tomatoes and an avocado. I have also eaten oatmeal with my boiled eggs, and that is one of my favorite meals.  It didn’t matter what I ate with the eggs, I was so hungry, and that idea didn’t work out so well.

I then thought about making a breakfast quiche. I love eating quiche, but it is a lot of work. Well my quiche is, because it is way more than just eggs and cheese. My basic quiche has:

  1. Onions   – more than what you think you need
  2. Peppers – can have more then one color
  3. Celery     – I like to cut these a little bigger than a bite
  4. Garlic      – fresh or in a jar, both are good

Regular quiche is:

  1. Bacon, (I use beef bacon and I would cook this first so I could cook the above veggies in the leftover oil) but you could use whatever bacon you like. This is usually paired with spinach (2 small frozen dried and season)
  2. Shrimp is paired with broccoli 
  3. A beef steak thick cut tomato with a few bey leaves (the first time I made this, I didn’t think anyone was going to eat this, because it didn’t have any meat in it. It was the first one to go)

Every quiche has eggs and at least two cheeses inside of them, precooked piecrust, (I normally do 5 minutes and covered it with a little garlic butter, filling each deep dish pie crust with my quiche) and when the quiche is almost done (30 minutes in a 350°) top with a little more cheese and cooked until its melted or just turn off if you are going to eat soon.

I thought I could take this idea and use spinach and turkey sausage as my breakfast quiche, but changed that to broccoli. Then I thought it should be an open face quiche, because I am cutting back on my bread.

I cooked the veggies, added them a little over half into a bowl (for another day) and all I had to do was scramble an egg then add the cheese. 

I realized this is how I do it when I cook my brussel sprouts (I cut them small and also add jalapenos), squash and zucchini (I add tomatoes to this one), or potatoes and cut them small.

Now that I have listed what I have cooked for breakfast and how I make my quichies. I realized I don’t really need a piecrust to have a quiche.

I am not hungry, but I want my coffee now. I am so glad I am keeping my word, because letting a computer write my post, wouldn’t be my post, and if there is a mistake. It’s cool, because this isn’t for a school grade. I am just being myself and if I make a mistake, I am NOT going to stress over it.

Just Thinking Out Loud….

I woke up once again thinking about three items that I need, but have no way of getting them “yet”. I heard if you dream something three times then it will come true. I wonder if that’s true? In two weeks I have answered at few surveys in a week, played a few online games, but those points only added up to $12.95.                                                                                                        

I know answering surveys and playing games cannot pay any bills. I was thinking maybe I would have enough to buy some yarn, because thinking about crocheting a new item is so much fun.

Well, I better answer more surveys and play more games, because ice coffee costs more than what I spend on my regular coffee. The dryer ate my slippers, and the hole in my bed will always keep my back hurting until I get another bed. The foam mattress isn’t helping at all.
