Yes. Todays, Things I Like (TIL) subject is...... COFFEE! Long long ago, my first real non-temp job out of college was at a small company where one of the ladies had a cup which said, "No Coffee, no workee." At the time I did not see the wisdom which I now comprehend.

Although I can go without, I choose not to. Each morning CadesMom or I brew up a pot (or two). Some days, today for example. Neither of us have felt that great CadesMom is downright S.I.C.K., but the coffee has pulled us through. We've tried several different kinds and I believe that all of these are solid: Kirkland (Costco), Starbucks Mexican Shade Tree, Anything Peace Coffee, and most recently we've had really REALLY good coffee from Alterra.

Now for something completely different. I'm going to start sharing my "Things I Like". Because they're good, great value, etc.

The first item up is a import. I studied in England for one year. Amongst other benefits, I was able to experience the foods of England. One of my favorites, or favourites were Chocolate dipped Hob Nob biscuits (Cookies). Back then they came in a celophane wrapper, now they come in a nice tube with a removalable top (ala pringles). This allows you to THINK that you're not going to eat the whole thing in one sitting..... but you just might.
