Something about styrofoam and engineered contemporary verses OF that send me into a public bout of dry heaves (that is, unless I've actually swallowed a gulp of jo, in which case I've got the bean flyin' out my nose while the girl in the drive through window catches my plague like a contagious sneeze and begins an upchuck of her own). If it isn't poured in a real cup, it can't make it past this gal's gag reflex. Loved your blog. Feel free to stop by mine. Not that I can <i>make</i> a better cup than McDonalds to serve you, but I am serving pierogis as a backup.

It seems they use different coffee brands in different markets/areas. Not bad, so I was pretty excited to hear that the "free coffee between 5AM and 7AM" promotion is back in my area. Love getting free coffee!! The key to good coffee though is water-to-grounds ratio. To brew a good pot of coffee with your typical drip-style-Mr-Coffee coffee maker use 1 tablespoon of coffee for every cup of water. And don't freeze or refrigerate your coffee. That will ruin the flavor for sure!! In New England McDonald’s switched from Maxwell House to Newman’s Own Organics Blend coffee this past November.

The good news is we were prepared and all our planning works. The bad news is, that even with planning that works, it is still a yucky time. I would make a lousy pioneer. :) Our house, Last week, no power, for FOUR DAYS!
