Every morning I make a fresh cup of cappuccino for my husband and myself. It’s a ritual we’ve been enjoying for at least 15 years. Each morning we sit with our cappuccino and chat for up to an hour before he heads off to work. Then I make my way to my home office and our work day begins. When I’m out of town as I had been last weekend and will be again this coming weekend, I seek out a suitable purveyor of quality coffee. Recently and coincidentally, in the same building as our Edmonton condo, an amazing business has opened up. Credo is where we find a perfect cappuccino when in Edmonton. I used to head to a nearby Starbucks but, forgive me Starbucks, I’ve found an even better morning coffee. The place was featured on the evening news because of its already-faithful following and because of their practice of buying only quality fair trade beans. Not to mention those great leaf designs on every cup of coffee, whether it’s a cup of cappuccino or a bowl of latte. Art in a cup.
What is your morning ritual?
I love these coffee images…gorgeous bokeh! I can practically smell it through the computer. It looks like you have lots of wonderful things lined up for 2010, and I look forward to seeing your gorgeous work.
That looks so yummy! I love coffee, too, but am not a morning person so I’m in a rush everyday when I go to work. Tony does make me coffee for the road (very sweet of him) so I don’t have to drink the yucky stuff we have at work.
Do you know…I go to various coffeehouses all the time and I’ve never had a design put on my cappucino, latte, whatever? I keep waiting.
I am a coffee drinker too, though I drink decaf because I’m breastfeeding. I stopped drinking while I was pregnant and boy I missed it. I started decaf when my first son was about six months old (after quitting for that pregnancy too), and I’m not going back to regular. I think I feel better withou caffeine. But I love the comfort of a cup of coffee in my hand each morning. I imagine there will be a day when I can sit and savor it without interruptions again.
Diane girl !
That picture(s) is perfect and we used to drink many of them while in Europe .. some how we fell off course but coffee is a must first thing in our house .. we have two coffee makers because I get up very early and need very strong coffee while hubby gets up a little later and needs not so strong a coffee .. so two coffee makers was the most logical solution ? LOL
Joy : )
I have to have straight coffee in the mornings, but enjoy this at night. You made my mouth water. Looks delectable.
Ha ha, this is our favourite Edmonton coffee place, honestly Starbucks is the last place I’d ever go for coffee, but a sweet non coffee drink they do very well.
Our favourite weekend ritual is to go to the Granville Island Market, have a coffee at JJ Bean (hubby) a matcha at the Granville Island Tea Company (me) and blueberry scones at the blue Parrot (all 3 of us). then it’s outside to feed the pigeons and go for a walk about around the island. How I do love Saturday mornings. 🙂
My morning ritual is rush rush rush. I only wish I had the time to make cappucino, much less enjoy it. However, I know it’s the season in life that I’m in. My last great cup of cappucino was in Italy…I miss it.
Generally – I’m not an early morning coffee-drinker..but when in Italy – I fell in love with real Italian capuccino!!!! Mostly – here at home – it’s a cup of tea..and bowl of cereal. So very uninspiring….
Lovely image!!!
Diane, I love that bokeh!
I get up first in our house, so I make myself a cup of tea and enjoy it while watching the weather forecast so I can tell my kids how warmly they should dress. (And then only my youngest child listens and wears a winter coat!)
oh dear, that’s where my addiction thing comes in… i hold off on having a diet coke as long as i can….because i don’t drink coffee…and i am usually trying hard to wake up after staying up too late enjoying the quiet in my studio… 🙂 i love toast and peanut butter in the morning, but try my best to have scrambled eggs, or some form of protein instead. then i work at waking my teenager up and getting him out the door on time. and after that…sigh…… i walk into the studio and get to what i love….
xxo, kim
p.s. LOVE LOVE LOVE this image!
