coffee, tea, and me

I am a social drinker.

Truth be known, on any given day, I'd rather drink than eat. Drinking is far more exciting. For one thing, most of the drinks I love are sweet. My taste buds love nothing more than sweet.

With drinks, you don't have to worry about offending textures. Like that of bananas or canned peas. With good drinks, you still get tons of taste along with tons of calories. And sweet. Very sweet.

Life is good.

Because I know you care deeply, I will enumerate my most beloved liquid refreshment in no particular order:
  1. I like cold mocha coffee, ice optional but desirable.
  2. Tea is my new best friend. Or maybe my old best friend. Whatever. Mmm, the things you can do to tea to make it pleasantly palatable. Ay chi wa wa. What better than a soothing sip with a caffeine kick? Be still, my heart.
  3. Flavored Cokes make me happy. Especially vanilla ones. Yet, there was a time when a chocolate marshmallow Coke could really light my fire. That was many moons and many shed pounds ago. I wonder if my taste buds are too refined now to enjoy such a rich delicacy.
  4. Speaking of vanilla, a good iced - um, maybe frozen - vanilla chai with a coffee straw is enough to make my heart sing.
There are other things I love to drink for various reasons, but these things, these things make me love them and keep me clamoring for more.

Isn't that was best friends do? Oh, waiter. I'll have what she's having.

Call me silly, but I just gotta ask. What amuses you?

Library Babe said...

The tea part.

Ah, yes, I thought you'd find "the tea part" especially amusing.

Library Babe said...

You know me well.

edie said...

Yes, indeedy.

When I'm feeling frisky--or when I *wanna* be feeling frisky--I go the extra mile and order a marshmallow vanilla coke. I keep the lid off and swallow a sip of marshmallow with each drink, then sometimes I even eat the ice when I'm done. I can't stomach a medium one of those anymore, but a small is just delightful, and on the rare occasion that I'm feeling guilty about all the sugar, I order a child-sized one and do just fine. Mmmm. I haven't had one for over a month. Perhaps today is the day.

Yep, I'll definitely have what she's having.

I can confidently say that I have not put as much thought to what I drink in my entire life than what you put into this single blog entry. That being said, I see your point on the texture thing. I have never spit out any liquid based on texture alone but have done so with plenty of solids (pauses now to rethink everything in my life...)

My job is done here, as you "rethink everything in...life."

I hope you have tea for your rain party... Or I mean I hope you have a tea party in your rain... well, you know what I mean. Poor thing, you.
