Miss me? we have been on holidays, went to Florida, drove down the I95 took two days, stopped off in Fayetteville and Jacksonville, went to a Jaguars/Patriots Game, continued on to Orlando, did Disney for a week, am soooo tired, drove home straight thru took 13.5 hours not bad, since we stopped three times for meals and restroom stops, now recovering.
Did absolutely nothing for NYE went to bed early, and have caught Ricks cold, some a-hole breathed germs on me in Disney, so eyes watering, coughing, snot machine nose, the whole schebang!! Dosed myself up with "stuff" and am sitting here catching up on the last two weeks of the thread.

max, i like my coffee like i prefer my women (wife): blonde, bold and strong. i don't like my coffee 'black', nor do i like it sweetened. but, strong and flavorful coffee, trust me i can differentiate the taste(s) of coffee, with half and half or (oh, my!) cream is the biz.
That's how I like it as well, no sugar and just a lovely creamy froth on the top, and milk.
i only have one cup a day. any more than that and i have the 'coffee sweats' and don't find drinking coffee to be a pleasant experience. i like to draw out that one cup for an hour, maybe more, restfully chatting with my wife.

Steve and I like to make ourselves a lovely cup of coffee, and sit out on the front porch like a couple of oldies and take in the morning sunshine, (if there is any) and just relax with our coffees. Rain, Hail or Shine, just need jackets this time of year!

Glad you liked it D. As we did with your blend. We get it from our Hansel and Gretel Coffee House in Canberra. They roast their own blends, that particular type isn't a blend its pure 100% Jamaica Blue, there was actually a little documentary the other day on the TV on the Jamaica Blue coffee plantation, quite interesting. So now I know where it comes from.

Jeff we can get Milo at our local little Asian Supermarket, hows that for luck. Us Auzzies dont have much to look forward to here in the supermarkets of the USA, but I have also now found Pepper Ridge Farm brand imports and rebadges Tim Tams, they are actually made in Australia, so bought up their shelf load!! Keep the Hubby happy.

I was without laptop and can't see if I get stuff on my iPhone, so just went without internet for the two weeks, not easy, inbox got a bit full, camera needed something to download to. But I also had to spend half the afternoon going back over the thread to see what I missed.

I have a question from my dad for the Aussies. He asked if Australian Christmas cards have pictures of sunny scenes like the beach, or if they feature the northern hemisphere's traditional snowy winter pictures.

Max, we do have a lot of Christmas Cards in Oz that depict our beach way of life, but since most of the cards are made overseas, most of the cards depict the Northern Hemisphere scenes, or fir trees and snow stuff.
Darell, I was so saddened to see the posts about Gigi, so sorry for you and the family. It is always hard when you have to make the decision to save them any more pain, you know its the right thing to do, but it doesn't make it easy.
