Day 22: Something You Miss

Coffee!!!

My Caffeinated Tale of Woe.

A year ago or so,

I had the usual tests done for Cholesterol

and Triglycerides.

I did not do well on these tests.

Changes needed to be made!

My preferred method of coffee-making at the time

was a French Press.

I LOVED my French Press.

I wrote poems about it.

I adored the mechanics and ceremony of brewing in it.

In my googling of ways to lower Triglycerides,

I discovered you could lower them by using a paper filter with your coffee.

Something to do with an oil that paper filters off the foil filters don't.

But, I thought, I use a French Press!

I went downstairs to my conventional Coffee Maker

(kept there for when my dad visits) and there was the cache of filters.

I painstakingly cut filters to size.

Ok, this is going way too long about the French Press...

Perhaps I should've sketched a picture of that instead?

Long story short (too late)

I also went to 1/2 caf and eventually cut out coffee altogether.

My numbers went down CONSIDERABLY!

I drink tea now.

Tea is good...

Earl Grey rules.

But I still keep coffee, for guests I tell myself,

but the true reason is to open that cabinet in which the coffee is kept

and take a big sniff.

Just smelling it is enough to relax and invigorate.

I miss you coffee.

I hope you're doing well.
