I use to drink my coffee with cream and a bunch of sugar. While dieting, I cut back on and eventually eliminated the sugar. Now, I can't stand having coffee with sugar it in. Now, I'm partial to having my coffee with just milk or half and half.
This morning, I took my son to a local hill so he could go sledding and snowboarding, while I watched from the car and read my Bible. Just before leaving the house, I heated up some coffee and we were out the door. He started off down the hill, as I opened my Bible and was ready to relax with my first sip of coffee. Wouldn't you know it, I forgot to put in the Half and Half? Yick.
I had to laugh at my son. As we were leaving, I told him what I had done, forgetting the H&H. I said, "Here, give it a try". Well, we let him have a little from time to time, but he makes sure there's always enough sugar in it to hide the taste. He even has a hard time drinking it the way I fix it.
Anyway, he took one sip and I've never seen anybody spit it out so fast. I understood how he felt, though I was able to at least get it down. As I was drinking it I thought maybe over time I could develop a taste for it...took another sip..."Nooo, I don't think so"
But the question of the day - How do you guys do it? Drink the coffee black...and appear to enjoy it?
