I’m finally over my post-conference illnesses and just getting ready for the next trip. For once, I can say I’m really glad to be going to Florida.<\/p>\n
I’ve been getting back into the coffee-drinking mood and I’m tempted to try an experiment. Nothing groundbreaking, mind you, and there’s few particle accelerators involved. I’m not a fan of non-dairy creamers — or cream, in general. I take my coffee black (insert Airplane!<\/em> joke here), but I came into possession of a small quantity of French Vanilla non-dairy creamer. <\/p>\n It seems wrong, but is creamer any more wrong than Splenda? I feel like I’m violating some sacred rite of coffee worship.<\/p>\n My question is this: would it be completely evil if I added some to the carafe before setting Mr. Coffee to work? Maybe I should go back to Church. But then again, maybe not if this is the extent of my moral quandaries. <\/p>\n UPDATE:<\/strong> Forgive me Lord, for I have sinned. No, I didn’t add the creamer to the carafe, but I did run the coffee through a second time, ensuring that I will have I should have dumped the pot and used fresh water. I know. Forgive me, Crom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’m finally over my post-conference illnesses and just getting ready for the next trip.
