Strong & Sweet: Thoughts on Coffee & Faith
by Rhonda Rhea @RhondaRhea For me, coffee isn�t quite strong enough until it holds the spoon up by itself. I like it when it�s somewhere close to chewy. Coffee you can sink your teeth into. That�s perfection. I�ve heard you can tell a lot about people by the way they take their coffee. Me? I�m all in. Full strength with everything added. A lot of everything. When I order coffee at a restaurant and the waitress asks if I would like cream, I usually tell her yes and that she should bring enough for my four or five friends that I�m not expecting to show up. So if it�s true that you can tell a lot about people by their coffee, one of the things mine says about me is that it�s unlikely I�ll ever have to worry about osteoporosis. When it comes time to add the sweeteners, I ask my friends, real and imaginary, to look away so I�m sure no one will see how many packet tops I�m tearing off. I confess, I drink it crazy-sweet. Coffee with dessert? How about coffee FOR dessert! Keep giving me sweete...
