Coffee | Geek Life: Augmenting Reality

So you know when your in-laws arrive to your home unannounced on a Friday afternoon and stick around for a few days? Yeah, no... I'm so very glad I had just restocked my fridge and cupboards the day before that happened. Don't get me wrong, I love living with them whenever we have time to visit one another (my always full of energy, 3 year old nephew is hilarious, and is currently schooling me in the ways of Super Mario Bros on the Wii, I kid you not, he's teaching me,) but a girl needs some notice so that she can clean/hide certain things before her visitors show up at the front door. Like her (my) rich, but never bitter Gevalia Keurig® Compatible coffee. Mine, I tell you! Seriously. My mother-in-law, who I've only seen drink tea/chai on a daily basis for the past 15 years that I've known her, likes my Gevalia coffee. Remember that part where I said I just went grocery shopping before the extended family had shown up? The stocking included replenishing my coffee stock with Gevalia Keurig® compatible coffee pods, and now I only have two (out of 12 pods) left! Need to restock asap! It's a good thing there's still a $1 coupon available for Maxwell House, Nabob and Gevalia Keurig®* Compatible brands, 'cause I'm going to have to head back out today to the grocery store to restock on my coffee. I'm not leaving it to chance on the possibility of starting my day tomorrow without my favourite cup! It was also a good thing that we had a few pods left of the new and delicious Kraft Keurig®* Compatible Pods from Maxwell House and Nabob brands for last weekend, or else I would have had to arm-wrestle my brother-in-law for the last cup of coffee on Sunday. Hmm... also note to self, I need to pick up some cream 'cause I want to give iced coffee a try, now that days have a tendency to be either really hot or kinda cool. I haven't tried it yet, but I've seen iced coffee made in a Keurig® simply by filling a mug/cup completely full of ice and then let the coffee brew like you normally would through a Keurig®, and then tada! iced coffee. Giveaway Time So, I have some awesome news for those 10 lucky readers who won a Keurig®* Compatible Pod coffee prize pack on Geek with Style a couple weeks ago!
