Gourmet Coffee

My sister who broke her ankle on New Year's day finally got fitted with a boot for it.  The swelling had gone down enough to be able to do that.  Apparently they don't do casts anymore, you are able to open up the boot if you get itchy or whatever.  It sounds like a real improvement.  Except that the foot has to be re-wrapped in gauze and re-padded daily, then the boot gets put back on.  Physical therapy starts in 2 weeks.  The foot muscle has already begun wasting away (atrophied) quite a bit.  She still is not allowed to bear weight on that foot.  At this point it sounds like the cast will be on for a couple of months.

Anyway, I was at the mall the other day and noticed this great selection of gourmet coffee in a store. So whenever I feel like some Cuban coffee, or Kona coffee, or flavoured coffee, it's easy enough to just pick some up these days. Usually when I travel I will bring some home with me if I happen to be in a place that grows good coffee. Costco also has a travelling road show that will sell nice coffee.  Do you have any favourite kinds?



And here's a cute video for you today.
It's a 'boy's awsesome reaction to catching his first fish'.

I do have some fave coffee sorts, but mostly have to be contented with lower priced ones. My coffee still tastes good, it's not always necessary to have luxury products. Valerie

I had no idea how they now treat a broken ankle or foot, thats interesting about the bout, your poor sister, thats a shame and a nasty way to start the New Year, but it will all be positive things now she got the negative thing out of the way, lol, we usually just buy one type of coffee, Tim Horton's in the big can, sadly I can no longer drink coffee but I love the smell!!!

It's funny that you and Kay are writing about coffee today. I love Roy's Kona Blend Coffee and drink 5 cups every morning.
Best wishes to your poor sister.

Healing wishes to your sister from me.

I love trying all kinds of coffees. Some taste like ass. So I don't buy those kinds again. I try to stay to the ass-free flavours. I pay a little more but it's really worth it.

As I probably mentioned before, never drank a single cup of coffee

Your poor sister! I hope she recovers as best as possible. I'm not a big plain coffee fan, it needs sugar, milk, and chocolate usually for me to be interested...

Oh no! You did see my Ditherers post about choosing coffee right? This would make us crazy!
