I love you, coffee...



In the Yahoo News today, I read this:
Drinking coffee reduces risk of Alzheimer's: study

"Middle-aged people who drank between three and five cups of coffee a day lowered their risk of developing dementia and Alzheimer's disease by between 60 and 65 percent later in life," said lead researcher on the project, Miia Kivipelto, a professor at the University of Kuopio in Finland and at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm.

I just knew that something so delicious, so comforting, so hot, so roasty-rich, and so invigorating couldn't be anything but good for me. And those coffee-drinking Scandinavians proved it right. So, here's to my morning and afternoon cuppa!
I love you coffee!

    Thanks for the relief of coffee drinking guilt, Jody!

    And I love your hanging baskets... we just re-hung one of those in our kitchen and are keeping potatoes in it. Only problem is it hangs over a heater, so the potatoes are sprouting too quickly.

    I love coffee! I am very spoiled by a sweet husband who loves to roast his own:)

    Can you please tell me where you got your mug? It is adorable and my husband loves Herefords.

    Thanks, Sharon D.

    I read about this study too, and I was so glad. At last...something I like is good for me! LOL! 'Course, I like mine with cream and sugar, and as do most folks from the countries you've mentioned, if our Nordic community is any indication.

    Didn't work for my mom or my grandmother. Both were/are coffee drinkers. I think it is genetic, and that is pretty scary.
