Things in my House Thursday

This week I'm sharing something new and special; a couple of fun, practical things that I bought myself at Starbucks for no occasion or reason - except that I love them!!

I use the insulated, orange, handle-less coffee mug all the time already.

It is bright and happy and just what I want in the morning.

I use the smaller blue one for tea - but it isn't insulated so I have to drop an ice cube in there so I can hold it at first.

They are just perfect sizes; great colors and textures, and I am enjoying them completely.

Coffee

This morning I am enjoying a delicious cup of coldbrew, courtesy of MattBabb.  He did all the messy work, and I just added my hot water and almond milk.  Yum Yum!

I have to start the day with coffee, and I am the only one in my house that drinks it.  When my regular drip coffee maker bit the dust, I switched to a French Press.  This is a perfect system for me, because I can brew in a carafe pot, just enough coffee for one person.  It's fast and simple and delicious.  The only thing I miss about the drip coffee maker is the wonderful aroma of coffee brewing.

I used to drink cold brew more often, back when Christopher was still fascinated by the process and would make it for me.  In general though, without the right containers / space, it's just a little more trouble than I want to go through.  But what a deal Matt made me:  I buy specialty coffee and he'll split the brew from it.  Works for me!
