Joining Ann Kroeker for Food Fridays…
Some may remember when I posted about making iced coffee and using coffee cubes. I dislike waste, although am as guilty as the next, but one way I found of being thrifty is making coffee cubes from left over coffee. Dave was a coffee drinker…make that a Coffee Drinker! He loved the stuff and would drink a pot, or more, every day. Invariably, there would always be a bit left over and I hated pouring it down the drain or on the ground. So, when I found these cute little ice cube trays on sale for, maybe fifty cents, I would pour the coffee into the trays, set them in the freezer and a while later, iced coffee! Generally, I use decaff coffee to make my iced coffee as I don’t want, or need, the extra caffeine? I like to sleep at night! -smile-
Just recently, someone asked for a recipe but I’m one of those people who use a recipe only as a suggestion. In other words, I usually wing it. Hey, I’ve got five…count ’em…FIVE dogs and there are no mistakes in the kitchen; only happy accidents! So, my “recipe” for iced coffee is make a twelve cup pot of decaff coffee, let it cool and pour in a bottle of Natural Bliss creamer. Put some coffee cubes in a tall glass, pour the coffee over the cubes and enjoy. For once in life, it’s easy and simple! Plus delicious smile. Sometimes I’ll even eat store bought cookies…gasp! LOL
You certainly are a servant of the Lord! God Bless always. ♥
Sandra, how can we help? Would even a small donation be useful?
It's just heartbreaking…first to lose a husband and then to lose her home and every thing in it. Counting mercies, though: imagine if the fire had started at night.
I hope Mrs. Webb and her family will find strength to put one foot in front of the other as they recover from this tremendous loss.
Also, to all the firefighters? You folks are the BEST.
i'm sure you are the backbone of that
generous community!
your coffee ice cube idea is brilliant!
Sandra, I cannot believe that you have another fire in your community. Is it hot weather related. As always, you are a lovely neighbor.
I love iced coffee and think this ice cube idea is brilliant.
( I would have loved your Dave.)
Hi Marydon – I'll find out and THANK YOU!
Hi Pom – it's nasty hot here and the t-storms are fierce! I may have to make iced coffee as well.
Hi Deanna – thank you and will think of you when I drink iced coffee.
Hi Star – iced coffee with frozen coffee cubes is a delightful drink; hope you enjoy if you make it. Yes, folks like to help, they just need to know how.
Hi Ginny, I have a Keurig but have never used the iced setting, will have to try that -g>-
Coffee cubes make iced coffee even better, Leigh. Hope you enjoy!
Oh my goodness, fires are so scary. And so destructive but it's a relief to read that no one was seriously hurt.
I'd not thought of coffee ice cubes! Very clever.
So sad to hear about another neighbor's fire. I'll send a donation next week when I get paid. Big hugs to you for helping them!
What a really awful story! I am so sorry for them. I have used the Bliss and like it, though I have never made iced coffee, I will have to try it. We have a Keurig and it has an iced setting, so it should work well.
I've never thought of freezing coffee cubes before but it's a good idea and I may just try it.
That's the second sad fire you've told us about. Once it gets going, those houses don't last five minutes do they. How very sad for the mother and daughter.
You must have wonderful community spirit.
Let's hope they were insured!
Think the ice cubes are great!
Sweet Summer Blessings to you and many iced coffees to enjoy,
d
It's encouraging to read about good hearted folks, Sandra!
Oh, I must try some Natural Bliss and make some decaf iced coffee. We are going to roast this weekend. It's SO hot!
If I knew the size blouses they wear I have LOTS that I am giving away, I could send them. Same with shoes, nightgowns, sizes please.
How sad the losses in her life …
it is so hard to give to a fire your entire life of belongings.
TTFN
Have a great weekend ~
Hugs,
Marydon
