Hmm, caramel cream is more my style - pity it's only sold 'round Christmastime...

Does Bailey's make that? I notice differing bottles but only pay attention to the original.

Peet's Coffee: Major Dickason's Blend®

You were correct, David (Ross).  Great coffee!

The Major, eh?  Definitely not a coffee for wimps, Bill--glad you're enjoying it.  My own brew today is the only coffee Starbucks offers that I really like:  their Ethiopia Sidamo.

A delicious Belgium beer  :)

The same thing I drink everyday, my own home-roasted blend of beans (some Indonesian, some South American and some African, with a little robusta for extra punch)



made in my excellent espresso machine.



Mmm ...

Dan Ackroyd is coming to town Friday to sign bottles of Crystal Head Vodka.

I'm guessing it's going to be packed. Should I go? It would be cool to drink booze out of a SKULL!  ;D

Ethiopia Sidamo from Starbucks, again (my backup when I've run out of Peet's and don't feel like driving to Davis solely to score more).  Later today I'll swing by Peet's en route to the Big Tomato to pick up a pound of their terrific Sumatra Blue Batak.

Vodka plus Ackroyd plus skulls...a no-brainer, Dave. Why are you even asking?  ;D

But Karl, are you drinking it out of a skull?

Everything tastes better when it's in a skull.

Just talked my wife into buying some whole bean Peet's Major Dickason's Blend®, David.  She is hooked.  She even liked it better than her holy grail Starbucks Starbucks® Christmas Blend.  I have been drinking their French Roast at work, but believe I enjoy what the Major has to offer a bit more.  Both are sold at our local supermarket here, so easy to come by.   I will have to stop by their shop local shop here and try some Sumatra Blue Batak.

From a recipe out of a magazine I subscribe to, I made some chai tea last night.  Excellent results but I'm going to tinker around a little here and there and see if I can get it to be a little more spicy/aromatic than the leaning toward more sweet it turned out.

All sold out, I'm afraid.  It was a small specialty lot that disappeared fast.  One of the best coffees I've ever had: very full body, rich, musty flavor, smooth, and perfectly balanced for my palate (Central American coffee fans would consider it low in acid).  I imagine they'll be buying more from the region when it's available so keep it mind. 

I'm glad to hear that your wife likes the Major.  Their signature blend, it's a coffee for folks who like coffee!
