Coffee Drinker
I am a coffee drinker. I can even have five big mugs of coffee each day especially if its very cold. When I was pregnant I passed on drinking coffee since its not good for a growing fetus. I was so dead longing for coffee but have to endure it for my baby but I sometimes drink a cup of it once in two weeks when I was already 8 months pregnant. I can drink two mugs of coffee in the morning before breakfast and during breakfast. I can drink any king may it be instant or brewed. I really love drinking coffee, I prefer drinking coffee than drinking a chocolate drink. I love it cold or hot too even without a creamer as long as its coffee. Coffee is my morning booster and I can live without breakfast but not without coffee. I would even appreciate it if you buy me a cup of coffee.
Coffee-Rum Sauce
Here is a recipe for a delicious coffee flavored sauce that can be used on custards, rice pudding, and of course, vanilla ice cream!
What you’ll need:
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon water
3 tablespoons firmly packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon rum extract
1 cup freshly brewed coffee
In a small saucepan, combine cornstarch, water and brown sugar and rum extract. Stir until cornstarch is dissolved. Gradually stir in coffee. Cook over medium heat , stirring constantly, until mixture reaches a boil. Cook for another two minutes, still stirring continuously.
Remove from heat.
This is delicious served immediately over vanilla ice cream! Add some whipped cream and cherries for an extra treat.

Wired Monk
Wired Monk Coffee Bistro * 2610 4th Avenue West * Vancouver, BC V6K 1P7, Canada * (604) 742-1752 * http://www.kitsmonk.com/
Artsy fine-elderly design coffee bistro with food and drinks, coffees, chai, teas, and pastries. Free wifi. Didn’t find the service that great, employees seemed bored and bitter. Not many plugs available for laptops. Service was still good. Wifi good. Plain and not a place I’d go out of my way to go back to. Rating: 2 stars out of 5.
Tully Coffee (Seattle, Washington)
Tully’s Coffee * 1401 4th Ave * Seattle, WA 98101 * 206-625-0600 * http://www.tullys.com/
Tully’s Coffee, another Seattle favorite like Starbucks, that is slowly growing to be a large world chain – most notorious for its coffee. Tully’s opened its doors in 1992, they boast proudly about their handcrafted blends that are different than the rest. They also claim to be the last independent pedigreed-Seattle coffee company even though they are spreading quickly. They claim community is the big part of their stores. My visit to Tully’s at this location on 12/29/08 went very well, but not much different than a Starbucks experience. The chai and the pumpkin loaf I tried, not much different. However they do have free wifi internet, so my wifi n’ chai experience was much nicer than the pay per hour that Starbucks has. Rating: 4.5 stars out of 5.
