1) I brew Cafe La Llave in my Bialetti Moka pot. I pour the coffee, skim milk & a little agave nectar in my travel mug
Lately I've been pouring the hot coffee with skim milk & agave nectar over ice in my plastic iced coffee cup.

2) Black eye with Splenda/sugar and skim milk or a double dirty chai latte

3) A little milk and some Splenda/sugar.

I cannot stand beans or peas. I'm from the South. Someone is always making baked beans for the holiday meal. They always tell me 'You'll like *my* beans.' Blech! All beans taste like vomit to me. This also makes New Year's day problematic as well because one is supposed to eat black eyed peas for luck.

I love to drink a kir royale as an aperatif,

I have been drinking Swordsman, a London Dry Gin in Blackberry Tom Collins and with Pink Grapefruit Izze with a squeeze of lime.

So I decided to perfect my mint julep this summer. I bought the silver cup, crushed the ice, made the syrup and started making juleps. Whoo that's a lotta work... and the juleps were mmmmmokay. I tried the smash last night - delish! This is going to be my summer drink!

My mother used to make the canned pork n beans with hot dogs thing at least once a week for dinner. Sometimes she would use ground beef. Usually it was canned beans, onion, mustard and ketchup. I do not eat any form of bean to this day. Fortunately I learned how to cook so we made a deal. I would cook and she would do the dishes. My parents sure missed me when I moved out though. :-)

When I heard that one of my ancestors was liberated in the early 1800's (way before the Emancipation Proclaimation) It seems his owners made enough money from Smithfeild hams that they did not need to keep slaves.

My work team recently had a pot luck holiday party. The boss brought spiral cut ham and my co-workers brought cornbread, "garbage" mashed potatoes (they had sour cream, chives and bacon in them), asian noodle salad, and green bean casserole. I brought home made mac & cheese. Everything was wonderful and we had enough food for an army

I pretty much make whatever I feel like eating. Sometimes it's pizza for one made out of a wrap that is spread with my quickie pizza sauce, fresh mozzerella and an assortment of toppings. If I have a craving for something specific, I will ,make it for myself. Last week I had a craving for chicken wings. I sectioned and marinated them in a chili ginger, garlic, lime and pineapple marinade. After they were marinated, I broiled them on both sides. Then I brushed them with a glaze and roasted them for a short time. They turned out great!
