Coffee talk

Living at my parents house means that I have access to a HUGE pot of coffee as soon as I wake up every morning. This coffee pot is so HUGE that it takes an entire day to consume all of the coffee that it holds. So HUGE that my parents think they have to use half a bag of grounds for each fourteen-cup batch. And 99% of the time this misguided notion results in a HUGE pot of coffee that tastes very strongly of pee and molded charcoal.

A week after I moved home I decided I'd had enough fermented urine and rot and I started drinking Folgers instant coffee instead. And you know what? It's DELICIOUS! I know I know, how sinful I am to prefer the instant gratification kinda sorta coffee over the real stuff that percolates, drips, and smells up the house something wonderful, but my taste buds can't help it. Yesterday I got really creative and added a sprinkle of cinnamon in along with the granules and the Sweet 'N Low and the creamer. And can you guess how quickly I had a new best friend? Instantly!
