Wasn't it called Second Cup? Used to grab a cup Vanilla flavoured coffee on way dropping Munchkins at school. And... yes, I'd have a second cup on way back lol!

The name sounds familiar but I have never come across it, personally! Here it's Timmie's all the way! I wouldn't buy their regular coffee but like their iced Cappuccino on a hot day! I bemoan the loss of jam filled donuts in favour of cupcakes. Times have changed on me!

Ach, Ihr Deutsch freut mich, @Georgiagranny! Bitte kaufen Sie colombische Kaffee Bohnen mit der Milch! Das schmeckt so gut! (In order not to upset anyone: Your German makes me happy. Please buy Columbian coffee beans with the milk (cream)! That tastes so good!) 🤗

Refreshing for me! I know you used easy words, but glad to see I remembered my German, ein wenig anyway if I'm saying that right. Ein wenig=un poco ;)
 
@Georgiagranny ...Gigi...how are you feeling today ?

Ich spreche auch nur ein wenig Deutsch nach 67 Jahren in Kanada! You remember right, Pepper! And I would have a hard time having an intelligent conversation in German. It's been too long, so I use easy words myself.

It is astonishing what has happened in Germany in the meantime, though. I started to watch soccer again and am truly astounded about how many English words have found their way into the language, Most are connected to modern innovations like computers and the Internet. Rather than coining their own words they just decided to use English. The only exception seems to be for a cell phone. They call them "Handies." Makes sense but sounds funny to me! There, now I told you more than you wanted to know!

I was going to give all of you lovely people chapter and verse of what happened to me today, but no, I can't spoil things for you by relating the horrific event that took place around me today, it would be so, so cruel.
Oh, alright, I'll give you a little taste.
I was sat in the park on my favourite bench when this huge dog with teeth like a sabre toothed tiger was galloping towards me.
I'm not exagerating when I say that sweat started pouring out of me like a river.
Closer and closer 'Big Teeth' came until I could smell the corned beef he'd had for his dinner.
I presumed that he was about to pounce on me and make a meal of me, when, quick as a flash, I whipped out my packet of custard cream biscuits, chucking them high into the air for him to catch.
We spent a happy half hour on that bench, and I made my escape by giving the greedy sod my cheese and onion crisps. 😊

Ha ha, they say the quickest way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Apparently, it works for dogs as well.
 
I'm still among the living. Feel like :poop:. Spent so much time in bed yesterday that I have to just sit up on my sofa today. Hurt all over. DD is sick now, too. Texted Sir. His response "Me, too." I feel like Typhoid Mary.

Temp still a steady 97.9. Oxygen still at 98-99%. Guess I'll make it.

I haven't had cow's milk in so long that I can't compare almond milk to it. But I've been drinking almond milk for maybe a decade after switching from soy milk, which I also used for about a decade or more. I use almond milk in tea (sometimes), recipes and drink it "straight". I have had no issues doing so. I switched from the expensive name brands to Wholesome Pantry, which is a store brand affiliated with a large northeastern region food chain...Shoprite. I really like it.

I am really curious. Why the switch, OED? For reasons of health? Because you didn't like cow's milk for moral, religious or esthetic reasons? If I used Almond Milk with Campbell's Tomato and Rice Soup would it taste the same? Or better?
 
Does anyone else here not get notified if there is a response to something they wrote. It doesn't happen all the time, but often enough to worry me, since I don't want my friends to get the impression that I ignored them. And, yes, I checked all the boxes!
 
🤔 Well... my plan was to procrastinate. I do that... I actually do plan to procrastinate 🤨 ... don't judge. 🤭 But I sat here after making a run to drop off recycling and hit the gas station and guilt started to nag at me. Then I reminded myself that I'd *really* be sorry tomorrow if I did that, so I'll be shampooing carpets and deep cleaning the living room today. But for the record, I'd rather be procrastinating. 🤷‍♀️
 
Disaster. I had some boiled potatoes left and decided, recklessly, to attempt making potato pancakes with them, even though every recipe calls for raw, grated potatoes! What a mess of wasted eggs, potatoes and flour! I wish I had an animal to feed, but they'd probably turn up their noses on it as well! :)
