    Nutella is divinity-in-a-jar, its sweet-goodness of the gods, it's the edible nirvana...

    Mmm...

    HC- Do we have to start a chocolate thread too?

    excon- You're actually supposed to spread nutella on toast. Personally I like it straight out of the jar. Just find the biggest spoon that you have in the house and go to town.

    I was born in Germany and we had nutella everyday. Here in Canada it's only become available in the last couple of years. I used to smuggle it back with me whenever I visited Germany, now I don't have to. :)

    I've now gone from coffee to water, have to drink my 8 cups a day.:(

    Nutella is also great warmed up and poured over ice cream... Mmmmm... coffee ice cream... wow...

    Funny, first time I had Nutella was in China.

    Best cup of coffee I ever had was in China, as well...

    Lol... I miss China!

    Now I want to go to China, if only for a cup of coffee.

    We should start a tour for coffee drinkers. Travel around the world tasting different coffee. If we play our cards right coffee manufacturers might even pay for the trip. Worth looking into, don't you think?

    This guy walks into a coffee shop and asks the waitress: "How much is the coffee?" "Coffee is three dollars the waitress said". "How much is a refill?" the man asked. "Free"!! Said the waitress. "Then I'll take a refill"!!

    Sorry KP I can't help you, I don't know either.

    Just got a disturbing personal message telling me that I should keep trying to get pregnant and not give up. Did I have a caffeine free day and post that I was trying to get pregnant? If so could someone tell be were I posted this so that I can delete it. I didn't realize that I wanted another baby, this is certainly surprising news.

    Now I'm switching from water back to coffee with a shot of Baileys.

    LOL! Wow, Altenweg... that's some deep stuff...

    Yeah, I'd go back to the Bailey's and coffee...

    Wow... come to think of it, Cheers! I'll join you! (minus the baileys' though... they frown on that at work... ;) )

    Kp - Google has failed me... all I could come up with was Krokant... "Crispy round toast"... Hope you figure it out! :) Drink some more 70/30 java/choc... maybe that will help. :)

    KP - I wish I could help, I know how it feels to have a word on the tip of your tongue and not be able to remember it. Don't give up, you'll get there.

    Besides, I have too much on my mind right now to do any research, apparently I have to dig the baby clothes out of storage, I hate being the last to know.

    More baileys and coffee for me, heck, skip the coffee, I'll just add ice.

    Yeah... I noticed the growing page count... that just goes to show how many of us are caffeinated people! :)

    Sooooo nice to know there are others out there!

    (MMmmm... Caribou coffee... that's good stuff, too!)

    I'm taking a nap, this pregnancy thing has gotten me in a dither. I hope the coffee doesn't keep me awake.

    What do you call a cow who's just given birth? De-calf-inated!

    Let's start the day off with a poem:

    APPROACH AT OWN RISK
    By Ted Helt Jr.

    A cup of coffee to start the day,
    More civil and reserved.
    A cup of coffee to face the race,
    My sanity preserved.
    My day begins quite early,
    Much earlier than most.
    Without my morning coffee,
    I'd not make it to my post.
    If you should chance upon me,
    Before I've had my brew.
    Don't be alarmed if I should bite,
    Upon your backside chew.
    Tread softly should there be no Joe,
    For my A.M. caffeine Fix.
    I rely on it to calm my nerves,
    And make me fit to mix.
    You wouldn't invade a Grizzly's lair,
    A wide berth he'd gain, from fear.
    So please show me the same regard,
    Until the coffee cart's been here.

    I think this says it all.
