Welldoggies! I’ll have to make sure it’s a VERY special occasion before I buy that coffee. I balk and complain when paying $8.69 +/- .30 at Walmart for 12 oz. of Millstone Chocolate Velvet coffee... Which is excellent with chocolate raspberry creamer, if you can find it.

If you’re drinking that then why order coffee at all and just make hot chocolate?

Americans drink coffee by the mug. In Argentina they drink these Dixie cups of coffee. So when I went to Argentina, my hosts gave me this Dixie cup of coffee. I laughed and told them I drink coffee 20 oz at a time.

They warned me about drinking too much coffee. I insisted they fill a big mug up for me because during my presentations I like to have a big cup of coffee.

My turn to present. After they dragged me out of the bathroom, my 3 hour presentation was done in 20 minutes. My hosts, in Spanish told the audience what happened and everyone had a laugh. We Q and A’d the rest of the time and it was actually fun rattling off answers. It was like a 2 1/2 hour lightning round.

Needless to say, at my presentation the next day, I had a 5 oz cup and a large water on the podium.

I sometimes add a little unsweetened cocoa or cinnamon to mine, but these days I can only drink decaf, and rarely.

Chocolate? Raspberry?
Did we start talking about pie?
