Maggie’s What are you drinking right now!?

I just came ridiculously close to drinking my cup of chewing tobacco spit instead of my coffee.
Death's Door gin, fresh lime wedges, a few mint leaves, and cucumber slices... muddled, add crushed ice and top with tonic. Stir and enjoy.

Israeli made gold star beer for breakfast, 12 yr Deanston highland scotch (neat) for supper and cigars
Just smoothed out a strong french roast with an ounce of Bailey's. Had it not been for the Bailey's, the french roast on its own would have rendered my post on the Motivational Pic thread (regrading the idiot reporter tweeting about ear plugs mistaken for rubber bullets) far more bombastic. Such is the soothing effect of liqueurs upon my psyche.
One should always be drunk. That’s the great thing, the only question. Not to feel the horrible burden of Time weighing on your shoulders and bowing you to the earth, you should be drunk without respite.
Drunk with what? With wine, with poetry, or with virtue, as you please. But get drunk.
And if sometimes you should happen to awake, on the stairs of a palace, on the green grass of a ditch, in the dreary solitude of your own room, and find that your drunkenness is ebbing or has vanished, ask the wind and the wave, ask star, bird, or clock, ask everything that flies, everything that moans, everything that flows, everything that sings, everything that speaks, ask them the time; and the wind, the wave, the star, the bird, and the clock will all reply, “It is Time to get drunk! If you are not to be the martyred slaves of Time, be perpetually drunk! With wine, with poetry, or with virtue, as you please.”

I recently went from buying ground coffee to whole bean and grinding my own. I found a nice dark roast at Trader Joe's that I like. Now I grind my own beans right before I brew, and the taste is so much better since the naturals oils don't evaporate. I'm not using any complex brewing process either. I simply use the KitchenAid grinder I have with the Mr Coffee drip coffeemaker, but I grind immediately before I brew it up. The coffee is easily twice as good. Hard to beat a sunny Sunday morning, a good cup of coffee, a nice Padron cigar, reading The Economist, and throwing the ball for my dog.
