Coffee is...

White ceramic cups at midwestern truckstops,

Styrophome cups sipped at a traffic light . 

It's wood and steel and cables and hardworking tabletops,

Grounds like earth, honest and forthright.

It's Saturday morning with eggs and bacon, 

Starting another pot when the last cup's taken; 

All-nighters studying for final exams,

Up before daylight, preps and plans.

Made on the run,

Pot brewed at dawn,

For round eyes and high fives

And days full-drawn. 

Brash and bold, the big brother of tea,

Coffee is for going.  Coffee is for me.

Especially Bullet Proof Coffee -- that which is getting me through Lent this year!

Have you tried Bullet Proof Coffee (BPC) yet?  It's not for everyone, but I love it!  Rich and full-bodied, hearty and nourishing, it's helping me through a Lent where I've got very little I can actually eat (since I'm low-carbing).  Check out the full descrip here.  And the "how-to" recipe here.

 Ignore the marketing pitch for specialized "MCT oil" and specialty low mold beans that cost a mint.  The key is to get the good grass-fed organic butter and organic low-mold beans of any variety.  We get the Trader Joe's brand, which is competitively priced -- and, though it may not be as "high octane" as the MCT oil, cold-processed organic coconut oil works just fine -- and can be purchased at a good price at Sam's.  Brew, add the goodies, blend until it whips into a frappe -- and mmmmbaby, you're good to go!  Yummy lasting energy!  

Not for low-fat dieters, mind you -- but just the ticket for folks who either don't need to lose weight or are doing the low-carb, high-protein lifestyle.  And, helping save me this Lent!
