  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I like coffee any time of day, but not the unhappy dishwater my husband likes to make in the morning. Although these days even that is appealing to me.

There was a time in my life when I made coffee in the morning, yes me, and my husband had heart palpitations the rest of the day, or so he said, but it was good.
My favourite coffee was made over a campfire and it took guts just to take the first sip in the morning. Over the years my tastes changed. I like Timmy's coffee through the drivethrough, along with a crueller. I also didn't mind the coffee at the corner store, along with a cinnamon bun.

Did I mention black. I went on a diet, after I had my first child back in the 70s, and could never go back to cream and sugar.

Due to allergies and Timmy's being bought out by Wendy's, I had to give up the drive through. I visited a local Timmy's for a lemonade recently, but sadly, they use too much sugar. I guess if I am ever suffering a sugar low, that would be the place to go.

The odd time I found myself with friends, visiting a Starbucks. Again, due to allergies, the only safe coffee there is an Americano.

Then tow years ago I discovered two drinks in a small town in the Kootenays. On a hot spring day, the best drink going is a Dirty Snowman. This is an esspresso, mixed in a blender with milk, white chocolate flavour, ice, and esspresso beans. It is like an coffee smoothy, only not as sickeningly sweet.
The other drink is a Canadiano. This is an esspresso shot in brewed coffee instead of water. I had the power that day.

All of this is nostalgic because now I am down to one cup of coffee a day, with the occasional variance from my husband's special blend. I'd make the coffee in the morning, but that would mean getting up at 4 am to wake up before him. I don't do mornings well.

I like instant coffee also, black or with milk. Like the dark chocolate for caffeine also, and that it's healthier. Like to try different coffee flavors at times, but usually just drink regular coffee black in mornings with toast, bread with jelly or honey; oatmeal or oat bran for more fiber, or cereal. Trying to eat more healthy.
