Peanut Butter Coffee


You can tell by the title what this post will be about, no mystery here.  Today's story will be short and just a little sweet, because there's not much sugar in my peanut butter; the flavor is just right.  I eat it mostly for the protein. As for the coffee, you might recall my slight problem with acidic foods and drinks, so even though I crave the earthiness of a good strong cup, I'm forced to drink my husband's brew at half-strength by watering it down.  Okay, I admit none of this is note-worthy, so here comes the rest.  In my haste to mix coffee into a cup of boiled water, I grabbed a knife that I had just used to spread peanut butter with and stirred the hot liquid for a few seconds.  By the time I sat down to actually take that first sip, I had forgotten all about the "dirty" knife residuals, but the surprise on my tastebuds quickly reminded me.  The slight flavor of peanut butter in my coffee was delicious!  If you like Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy this accidental discovery.  Give it a try.  Let me know what you think.

The sea glass photo above is called, "Wired One", named for the section of wire running through one of the pieces of glass.  Some of the colors remind me of coffee, though, and I had used this picture before with another coffee story.
