ORIGINAL: camille65 A chicory blend for me thank you. A woman after my own black stained heart! I've always been a coffee drinker, since I was a child. Black and strong. Then I went to NewOrleans and became a convert. Cafe Au Lait NOT a latte. Made with city blend french roast coffee/chickory (which I have to order online by the case)and Soysilk soymilk. During the week, maybe only one. On the weekends, at least two. This ho-ness created a bit of a ruckuss last evening. I carpool with the guy I share the farm with, most days. He had mentioned on the trip to work that we needed to stop at the grocery store on the way home. I knew we were low on soy milk. Sooo, on the trip home, a bit later than usual because of delays at our respective offices, he mentioned that since he was planning on going into town today we could forego the grocery stop. He had a hot date and didn't want to take any longer than we already had. Now, my Saturday and Sunday morning quiet time spent sipping my cafe au laits are rather special to me. The very thought that I might not have enough soymilk is enough to send me running to the store through a blizzard if need be. So I questioned as to whether or not I would have enough for this morning. The reply I got was not very convincing. So I said, "That's fine, if you feel there is enough we can wait" Now, he knew he was on treacherous ground and started doing a bit of backtracking. "Welllllll, I'm not sure how much you are going to need." Me:"I thought you said there was plenty?" Him: "How much do you need?!?" Knowing that men are visual creatures, I took my right hand from the steering wheel and using my thumb and fore finger indicated a visual measurement "at least this much in the container" His disgruntled reply "I suppose we'd better stop on the way home" accompanied by a big sigh. At which time I turned onto the on ramp, shifted into 4th then 5th gear, turned on that delightful Bose sound system, and zoom zoomed my way south toward the grocery store THEN home! Oh yeah, the car was another ho moment last fall.............another longer story. There is a car salesman in CedarRapids Iowa that quite literally shivered when my boss was car shopping and mentioned my name.....
