p*A*D*-Day 21-Vanilla Bean Goodness

This is the very rare vanilla bean scone from Starbucks. If I see it in their baked goods case, I must get them because supposedly they stopped making these early last year. Rarely, some do still have them in the case. These are so very delicious with a latte or coffee. I don't really need Starbucks since I have learned to make my own coffee very well, but I do still enjoy their lattes very much.

P*A*D*-Day 2 Food, Glorious Food!

I'm not really sure what made me think of taking a picture of this, but today's picture(s) are of most of the food I've eaten today. Well, at least breakfast and lunch, cause then I left the house and went to Target.

So this is my breakfast. A chocolate chip muffin and coffee in my favorite coffee mug. Speaking of coffee, I have not made one bad pot of coffee since living here! I'm so proud of myself. I have started to make more and more coffee and drink it all. About 6 cups a day. I asked my mom if that was too much. She said it shouldn't be too bad. I drink it hot in the a.m. and then leave the leftovers to get cool and put it over ice and make my self an iced coffee. DELICIOUS! I don't need no stinking Starbucks!


This is the best coffee EVER!! My mom says that coffee in a bag almost always tastes batter than canned coffee. This stuff is oh so wonderful. It makes me want to go get some whole beans and grind them myself just to see what that tastes like. I just know that I will never be able to go back to canned crap again, I have been spoiled.




And then I made lunch for Kevin. We had some ground beef, so I decided to make him sloppy joes.I accidently put in too much brown sugar, so it kinda tasted like candied beef. Weird, but it still tasted pretty good. I took pictures of all the makings of my sloppy joes, but that's too much work to post all that junk, and it isn't that big of a deal. If you need a good sloppy joe recipe, let me know, I will share!

Coffee!

I am horrible at making coffee. I don't drink it everyday and usually only drink one or two glasses when I make it, but that's probably because I make either WAY too strong or don't put enough coffee in the filter making it smell and taste burnt. I can't figure out the ratio of amount of coffee to the amount of water. I'm tempted just to use the amount of water it takes to fill one coffee mug to make coffee when I move to NYC, cause my momma won't be there to make it for me! haha. And Kevin doesn't drink coffee. I have to learn how to make it well, cause I'm not paying $5 for a decent cup of coffee when I feel like having coffee. McDonald's coffee isn't too much but their coffee is gross. So my mother is going to have to show me the correct coffee making way. I can see myself now...In NYC, making my first pot of coffee, it turning out badly, as usual: cue me breaking down and sobbing for awhile cause I can't even make a pot of coffee without my mom to help me. Not a pretty picture. Like Kevin says: I'm a sap.
