    Drinking my coffee with milk instead of half-and-half. I don’t love it.

    I always use milk. Higher fat dairy products make me sick. If I want a treat I'll use 5% cream and deal with the grossness
    You get used to it, as one gets used to no sugar in coffee

    I’ve never liked any kind of sweetener in my coffee, but I do think I would give it up if I couldn’t have cream. Or I would drink it black but only occasionally.

    This is not exactly a cream solution but I learned it from a fellow MFPer years ago.. i realized I didn’t like my coffee black because i associated it with a scalded tongue. I was so used to creamer cooling it down. They suggested adding one ice cube in lieu of cream and it did the trick. Cooled it off just enough to mimic the temp of coffee with cream. 🤷🏼‍♀️

    I like the way the cream coats my tongue & I like the way it slides down my throat. 👅 😈

    I’ve added honey to my coffee before and it’s not bad -

    False, honey makes coffee taste too sharp and skinny. Nothing mimics the nice round mouthfeel of cream

    Sharp and skinny is a perfect description for that taste

    Okay THANK YOU! I was trying to explain the taste of a malt vs a shake to my daughter the other day so I said a shake is smooth and flat but adding malt powder makes it more warm and round and she made a face and said tastes don’t have shapes but she is wrong

    I have not had a malted milkshake in years. I think I need to test this theory to see if you have the shape right

    I don’t get it - but all I know is honey is greatness but always go local it helps with allergies and I’m convinced it may be as much of a magic elixir as magnesium-

    The one benefit I miss of being married. Passed this task on to the husband. Doing this as a single woman was a bit daunting and honestly scary. Hope things go smoothly.

    It’s a pain and I was nervous. Met at a public place, took a photo of his id and shared my location with my family. I would’ve bailed if something seemed off. I did that a few times already with inquiries that felt off.

    Woke up to my front door wide-open and two of my cats outside. Luckily, my dog was acting suspicious which alerted me to the fact that something was off. She also chased the cats back inside for me. I did a sweep of the house and everything seems to be in order. I don’t know how that happened. My kids are away for the week so I can’t even blame them.

    Just dropped my son at school for a pep rally before tonight’s first football game of the season.

    Now I am getting ready to go for a bike ride before it gets too hot.

    Also, I’ve been living in the country too long because my first worry was not that there might be a human intruder, but that a raccoon or possum might have gotten in the house

    Hey those worries aren't only country ones. Then again I live in a city with more raccoons than people and I keep seeing skunks.

    Your door episode would freak me out too. Glad it was just the wind

    All the kids are finally in school so I'm soaking up the silence in my house. Trying not to cry so I'm drinking coffee and wasting a few minutes here before I leave again and help my daughter move in to her new apartment.
