There is a delicious New Orleans product I want to tell you about. Its called Cool Brew. I'm completely addicted to it. It's a coffee concentrate that comes in a variety of flavors, though I've only had "regular."
I'll be honest: I'm not really sure how its any different than those little cups coffee companies think are a great idea, but I think it might be that it is cold brewed (and it has chickory because it is from New Orleans). Basically I think they just soak the beans in cold water for a day or so and then stick it in the coolest bottle you've ever seen, and then I buy it for $5 a bottle, which is extremely expensive.
Another difference is that those lil' cups are for hot coffee. This can be hot but is kept refrigerated and generally consumed cold. This is presumably because it is far too hot here for coffee most of the time. I prefer mine as follows:
1/2-1 cup leftover coffee at room temperature
5-8 ice cubes (btw I've been using silicone ice trays which I thought would solve my ice problems but which aren't any better than regular plastic)
1 shot cool brew
2 - 10 tbsp sugar (you know, to taste!)
This is partially because I prefer to consume as much caffiene and sugar as possible in one day, and and partially because I always have leftover coffee from the morning.
I will send you a bottle at cost if you want one.
Two things I want to try soon: The gelato shop near my house and some fresh french-not-southern-style macarons at a bakery near my other house because I hear that is the "new cupcake" (by now is it the new "fro yo"?)
Also, everyone welcome the new banner, compete with bacon. Thanks Errnnn!
