I may be tempting fate by announcing this, but....... after being afraid to drink coffee since my chronic D started almost two years ago on Saturday I dared to drink an expresso (of course no milk or sugar):coffee2: ..... no negative affect......so Sunday I had two expresso

:coffee2:.......no negative effects......and today in the office I joined my colleagues in having three expressos

.....so far so good....... Of course tonight I may not sleep!!

All best, ant

Hope you enjoyed your coffee ant, out I also drink espresso now (if they ever will serve a rice milk cappuccino, it would be an option again), home I drink my coffee with rice milk (as a cappuccino). Although one morning I had two double espresso in a cafe, and didn't sleep at all that night. Since than home and out I drink decaf, don't taste a difference and no more nights staring at the ceiling .

The cappuccino with real milk is one of the things I miss the most. Going out with no alcohol I am fine with, almost never going out for dinner too also fine, but going out having a coffee and not be able to have coffee was a thing I was not willing to give up. And you know a lot of things you even don't have to, it is just an adjustment. .

But great you enjoyed your coffee this week, next time :coffee2:

what is an aussie shiraz?

Aussie Shiraz is a wonderful red wine.

I like the high bin numbered Lindemans. We had the opportunity to spend a couple of days in the Hunter Valley region in New South Wales. A very nice part of Oz with a great vineyard.

Dear Harma

I think I will stick to no more then three

People in the office think I am already pretty highly strung and do not want me walking on the ceiling!!

Gabes, yup as smooth as a good bottle of Shiraz from Down Under.

Best, ant

(PS. just read in today's news of a rumor that Tsingtao (the huge Chinese brewer) is looking to buy parts of Fosters, especially now Fosters is splitting its beer and wine businesses.

Yeah for your coffee addiction!

It's my only remaining vice. Hot in the morning, iced in the afternoon and decaf at night.

1 Expresso would have me bouncing off the walls - you are a brave one for 3.

Love, Maggie
