A Nice Cuppa

These days, health is everything and the phrase “you are what you eat” is truer than ever before. But, don???t you just get tired of it all sometimes? I mean, eggs were bad for you. Now the good outweighs the bad. Eat fish twice weekly, but here???s the exhaustive list you […]

Undaunted by the delightful-sounding, yet ultimately disappointing Blisscotti, I am continuing my search for the perfect frozen coffee treat. I finally determined my criteria for perfection: I do not have to make it, it is readily available, not so expensive that I must forego actual food in order to purchase it, must be […]

Until recently, the only things I knew about Delaware were my sister-in-law was raised there, the Duponts reside there and major corporations are headquartered there. I had heard about the beaches from friends, but had never really spent any time there. Then my grandmother purchased a house along the peninsula in Bethany Beach. […]

CROUCHING BARISTA, HIDDEN LACTOSE (continued…)
Recap: Things heat up for the chemically involved: Tuti’s attempt to get closer to the package brings her head to head with a customer who makes her uncharacteristically quiet, and Pramana’s bungalow is routed out by a not-so-mysterious gentlemen from his past.
And now we continue, with […]

Call it coincidence, but my new green coffee beans from Brazil arrived, just after I completed my FIFA World Cup pool with Brazil taking it all. Maybe my coffee juju will help them break the curse of a South American country winning on European soil. I watch and wait in anticipation, well caffeinated. […]

CROUCHING BARISTA, HIDDEN LACTOSE (continued…)
Recap: Somewhere in The Cuppa is a package. It seems to be the apple of more than a few eyes. Tuti gets tough and does what she has to do to make things right. Unfortunately it means wearing an apron and slugging joe. And so, […]

If you take a look at the lines of people waiting patiently to get into Trader Joe’s new Manhattan outlet, you’d think they were giving away their wares. Most of the prices are truly give away, especially if you compare them to the high quality of TJ’s wares.
The Coffee […]

CROUCHING BARISTA, HIDDEN LACTOSE (continued…)
Recap: Someone’s looking for Pramana, nothing a half-sapped Gunter can help with. Tuti gets ahold of him though, and when it seems as if she’s about to come clean about her botched interception, she stops. There’s tension in the house.
And now we continue, with the Vanilla Thrilla. […]

In Virginia, summer arrives early. Trees bud and crocuses pop out of the ground in late February. By the time April ends, we???ve already had our share of humid days followed by evening thunderstorms. Even so, as with the rest of America, summer doesn???t officially begin until Memorial Day. We don???t […]
