Caffeine

You coffee drinkers have been waiting very patiently, what with all the tea we've been sharing this week. Today we're all about the real stuff. It's feeling a bit 1981 here this morning, isn't it? These were my mum's best coffee cups. I remember them coming out at the end of many a dinner party (when no doubt I was supposed to be sleeping) after the salmon mousse and chicken cordon bleu had been cleared away. If I'd been true to that theme, we'd be indulging in a chocolate log with our coffee - chocolate supermarket biscuits soaked in orange juice then sandwiched together with jam and whipped cream, the entire concoction smothered with a final coating of cream and doused with chocolate shavings.

Instead, we'll enjoy a small square of rich mocha brownie, circa 2012, on the side of our coffee. I hope you've brought your stitching. It looks like it's going to be cold outside today, so let's stay inside near the fire where we can knit and natter the day away.
