A Contradiction
I enjoy a good, hot cup of coffee. I don't mind paying a little more for expensive beans to fresh grind every day. Add some creamer (or better yet real half & half) & I'm in heaven.
I was very disappointed when Coffee-Mate quit making Vanilla Nut Creamer. This wass my all time favorite. After trying another brand with great disappointment, I decided to buy half & half. I noticed one carton on sale so grabbed it and headed home. Big mistake! This is what I purchased:
I don't know if you can read the label, but it says "Fat Free Half & Half" How is this possible? Half & Half by definition is half cream/half milk. To be legally called Half & Half the butterfat content must be between 10.5% and 18%. So how can they call it fat free???
After reading the ingredients I'll tell you. This so-called half & half is made from skim milk. Yep, you read that right. Skim. I don't buy skim milk to drink, why would I want the watery stuff in my coffee parading around as if it was lovely, light cream?
Tommorrow I'm starting my day with rich, strong, straight,black coffee.

I didn't know they didn't make that anymore. That's one of my MIL's favorites! I have to say, I drink my coffee black. I always have... but this summer I tasted an iced coffee with cream - HEAVEN! I am a converter!

I like my coffee so that it doesn't taste like coffee. I put way too much flavoring in it. I guess I want the caffeine! I wonder, if I put THAT much creamer in it, to the point where it is almost white, will it still stain my teeth? Hahaha!
Have a fabulous week! :)
