true confessions again

Okay I may be almost 40! I didn't just say that out loud did I?
But I have found that some of my taste bud's may be changing.
See I have always been a tea kind of girl.
Sounds boring? Not at all...there is chai, iced, black, green, herbal!
Need I go on?
However, my husband is a coffee drinker. I have resisted his ways for many years. Many, many years actually! But I think I am slowly being swung over to the dark side! How sad is that?
It all started with frappucino's! Mmm, yummy! Coffee, milk, caramel and ice blended together? Then came mocha's, hot or cold, they are equally as delicious.
The real down hill slide came when he started making me lattes in the morning. How sweet is that? Well, I think he knew what he was doing!
Yesterday at a friend's house she asked if I had time to stay for a coffee, and I said sure as long as it was sweet and had room for milk. She made it in her french press and it was delicious!
Oh so sad! I was a perfectly happy tea drinker and now this...

Welcome to the delights of coffee! You can have your tea and drink coffee too so don't despair.

oh no despair, just the tea doesn't come out of the cupboard nearly as much!

I am so with you on this coffee issue. My husband has been trying to convince me to drink coffee for years. I've even been a barista for many years and still resisted the temptation.

The other night a friend bought me an iced decaf caramel latte. It was so creamy and divine I keep craving another. Problem is...I don't really have room in my caloric budget for cravings such as this.

Oh well.

(I hope you'll join us on our Go Local journey! It would be great to have you along for the ride...and thanks for stopping by the blog to say hi.)

This made me smile! I was exactly the same way until I discovered these sweet coffees...now I am addicted!!!!

just use 1 percent milk, darlings... good for your bones, still impossible creamy...

I actually did it the other way around - I was a huge coffee drinker, and I thought tea was rather weak tasting and boring. When I was pregnant with my youngest I really went off coffee, and now I'm a full time tea drinker instead ;)

I'm a tea drinker through and through...wish I liked coffee because I love the smell.

We are lucky that we have a great tea house in town, so we like to spend lots of time there refilling our pot

Funny! I don't drink coffee either, but my husband has been pushing it for years. Is coffee in my future? We'll just have wait and see...

your story could be my story. mark is ever trying to convince me "it doesn't taste like coffee, just try it!" haven't come to the dark side yet...although I do now love waking up to the smell of his coffee brewing.
