Half 'n Half

posted Monday, 10 November 2008

     I seem to fall back on a few regular themes here on the blog, one of them being my coffee consumption! Oh well, whatever it takes, am I right?

      The inspiration for this post comes from a carton of half 'n half. Everyone knows that putting a little half 'n half in your coffee makes it absolutely delicious, the problem being that it adds fat and calories and probably clogs up your arteries. I always use it when I'm out and even at work but until now I've resisted using it at home. Well, not any longer.

     Yep, I broke down and bought myself some and now I'm enjoying an extra-tasty something that only that much milk-fat can bring. Yum. Live it up where you can, people, coz it's the little things that bring real pleasure.

Jel--"Sweet Cream in It" mp3 off Soft Money (buy)

Crash Test Dummies--"Afternoons and Coffeespoons" mp3 off God Shuffled His Feet (buy)

So true! Enjoy the half & half while you can.

I switched to fat free Carnation French Vanilla, and it took some getting used to. They make up for the lack of fat by adding too much sugar, though, so I don't know which one's worse.

I think I'll walk up to my local Dunkin' for a fat free Caramel swirl latte. It's worth the two mile exercise, and I feel less guilty drinking one after walking.

Oh, and Crash Test Dummies got old, but this song never does. "Some day I'll have a disappearing hairline" cracks me up every time. I wonder if he has one these days? ;)

Not to rant on your blog but the whole obsession with fat really gets to me. Drinking an entire carton of half-and-half every day would probably be harmful, but I find it impossible to believe that a small amount in your coffee, given all the other toxins around us everyday, is going to do you in. So good for you, enjoy it!!!!!

I like the Jel too!

nat--i've never understood how half 'n half can be fat free--it seems like an oxymoron! but good for you for taking that two mile walk to dunkin' donuts. that definitely makes up for it!

greer--i know, we are all fat obsessed, and it would be one thing if that was the only indulgence I indulged in, but i have a propensity to overindulge, so i really should NOT be drinking the half 'n half! : ) that said, i'm definitely going to enjoy it anyway. p.s. i have another jel song you might like. i like it (him), too.

Ah, gals, I'm enjoying all this coffee talk! Half and half, caramel lattes, even the Carnation stuff...I love it all. My afternoon routine is a cup of coffee with skim milk frothed in one of those 'Cafe Froth' gizmos (The skim whips into a thick, creamy topping better even than using whole milk). A dusting of cinnamon on top...yum. But, the rest of the pot of coffee gets the half and half!

wow, and i thought i was living it up! you gals know how to coffee! i'm ok with my caffeine addition because there are so many worse things to be addicted to, you know? and i've got it under control . . . i'm not saying i could actually quit, mind you, but i'm still able to limit it to two cups a day. any more than that and i might be verging on a problem!
