Aspen Coffee and the ABCs of Marriage

As far as being a wife goes, I think I am very simple and low maintenance.  I don't ask for much and I try to be flexible (with most things)...except for mornings.

We have a lovely coffee bar area in our kitchen.  My husband is up every morning before any rooster and always makes the coffee for "us".  I am very blessed that he does that for "us"...well he mainly does it for me.  If I am being completely honest, I am not very nice if I don't have my mug of coffee when I wake up.

Since I do not see the coffee canister every morning, only he knows if we are running low (or even worse), completely out of coffee for the morning...and even worse than that, forget to tell me when I am headed to the market for weekly shopping.

There has been an occasion or two where my husband has headed to one of our local coffee drive-thrus and had coffee at the ready for me before I even woke up.

My coffee of choice is Chock full o' Nuts.  So, forget the toilet paper shortage, if I cannot find any more of my coffee...this whole quarantine is not going to go well! 

So, all you young newlyweds out there, remember the ABCs of marriage...Always Buy Coffee!

Since there was no St. Patrick's Day celebrations this year, thanks to our current pandemic, and no Irish Coffees to be had, this one is a spectacular option.  I use to enjoy these when I first moved to California and was introduced to The Chart House restaurant.  Enjoy and stay well.
