Happy National Irish Coffee Day! This is a little bit of a throwback from last year. Coffee, Jameson, a little raw sugar, and whipped cream, enjoyed by a roaring fire in the late January chill. #nationalirishcoffeeday #coffee #coffeetoo #whippedcream #jameson #irishcoffee #winterwarmers #warmdrinks #hotcocktails #warmandcozy #belleek #belleekpottery #silver #antique #vintage #vintageteatime #sugarsifter #rawsugar #turbinadosugar (at Bellingham, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7wyComAPbI/?igshid=1sw27cvbqmb3l

Who knew that gardening took up so much of one’s time? I haven’t been posting as much because gardening has top priority at the moment. I’ve got weeds, weeds, weeds, flower beds to trim, a lawn that grows in the blink of an eye, and little seedlings to baby and nurture. Is this a complaint? No! Not at all. I’m loving every minute I spend in the sun, my hands in the dirt and the wind in my hair. I just wish I had more time and resources to really ‘dig deep’ and make my garden dreams a reality. But you know what they say; “Good things take time.” (Especially plants.) 🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱 P.S. This is homemade cold-brewed iced coffee, with a toffee stir stick courtesy of @hammondscandies via my mom. ☕️☕️☕️ ☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️ #icedcoffee #coldbrew #coldbrewcoffee #homemadecoldbrew #homebarista #stirstick #garden #gardening #pnw #pnwonderland #flowers #flowergarden #veggiegarden #coffeetoo #caffeine #caffeinated #caffeinateandconquer #westcoastbestcoast #herecomesthesun #cottagecore #cottagestyle #icedcoffeeweather (at Blaine, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAVB54tAciG/?igshid=not22m63vsxk

Decided to see what all the fuss over this style of coffee was about. I first saw it as Dalgona Coffee, but have since learned there are many names for it. The verdict? Great! I would definitely make this again. The amount of sugar carefully balances the more intense flavours of the instant coffee. I used half & half and water as my base liquid, which also softened it and made it richer, like an americano. I used a very easy recipe that had equal ratios of coffee : sugar : hot water - at 2 tablespoons each. You just whisk them together until they hold soft peaks then gently layer over iced milk. Stir to enjoy. Have you made this style of coffee before? Do you think you’ll try it? Let me know! ☕️ #coffee #coffeetoo #coffeegram #dalgonacoffee #upsidedowncoffee #tiktokcoffee #coffeevibes #instantcoffee #americano #caffeine #caffeineaddict #morningcoffee (at Blaine, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-o6EaZgaCd/?igshid=1blimgwdri8z

Happy Thanksgiving, from my little family to yours! Celebrating with a little espresso before the cooking madness begins. This demitasse belonged to my paternal grandmother and just felt so perfect for this late fall holiday. It’s Limoges porcelain with an ivory tint, muted colors, and some gorgeous scrollwork. I am very thankful to be where I am, who I am, and who I am with. This life gives me so much joy and happiness, even when times are troubling. My wish is for everyone to feel a little bit of the same. With love, BCTH. #tea #coffee #espresso #demitasse #thanksgiving #espressogram #coffeegram #limoges #madeinfrance #vintage #antique #mredon #cupandsaucer #livethelittlethings #theartofslowliving #porcelain #handpainted #bonechina #collector #coffeetoo (at Bellingham, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqf5zealmQq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1d08dqyzzkbel

Happy National Coffee Day! Ironically I am spending it at the Northwest Tea Festival, but I’m still starting day with the bean brew. I’ll be posting some highlights of the festival in my stories, if anyone is interested. It will be funny to see how caffeinated I am by the end of the day! ☕️ Enjoy you coffees today, everybody! ☕️ #coffee #coffeetoo #coffeegram #nationalcoffeeday #internationalcoffeeday #cappuccino #foamart #latteart #northwestteafestival #beanbrew #coffeelover #tealover #caffeine #caffeinated #coffeeculture #coffeeshop (at Sugar Bakery & Coffeehouse) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoUS-GiHrfr/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=zti8z4vy3ojj

I grew up in Colorado- a state where you could see snow as early as September and as late as June. I love living in Washington now, but sometimes I miss snowy days. I don’t really miss the dirty grey mounds on the side of every road, the black ice, or the sleet that either needs to give up or go all in. What I miss is that exquisite quiet that comes with a heavy white blanket; the peaceful mesmerizing hourglass of falling flakes; the magic of hot chocolate that makes numb cheeks and cold fingers disappear to the tune of childhood nostalgia. I had a glorious walk this morning in some fantastic PNW fog, but my heart almost wishes it was snow. So I’m having a double mocha for my afternoon pick-me-up. Brewed coffee mixed with mocha drinking chocolate, topped with my singular artificial guilty pleasure- Jet Puffed marshmallows. (The health food ones just don’t compare.) ❄️ ☕️ ❄️ #coffee #coffeetoo #coffeegram #hotcocoa #drinkingchocolate #mocha #marshmallow #marshmallows #mug #anthromug #hotchocolate #pnw #pnwonderland #colorado #homestate #coloradonative #mochagram #theartofslowliving #pickmeup #afternoonpickmeup #mugshot (at Bellingham, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqD1lBhFija/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=l7hnyqhzgvbh

Double fisting it today with coffee and tea to celebrate the TEN year anniversary since I arrived for my year abroad in Oxford. ... It may seem like a silly thing to celebrate, but that year was so life changing for me that I have to recognize it. I met some of the greatest people I’ve known there; I had the best time of my life, the worst time of my life; I lost a career path but ultimately gained the fortitude to get me where I am today. ... I would go back 100 times over and do it all again, no matter what. Endless pots of tea, endless French presses full of coffee, and more digestives than a person should eat in their lifetime included. ... Happy Anniversary fellow Crickets and Vinetonians. . . . #Tea #coffee #teatime #coffeetoo #teastagram #coffeegram #oxford #oxforduniversity #yearabroad #studyabroad #scio #digestives #insteagram #teapot #yellowmug #frenchpress #uni #homemade #bake #baker #baking #biscuits (at Crick Road) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnWJaXmH0w2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=i1m155p5fj57

Homemade frappe with coffee, mocha drinking chocolate, and a little whipped cream on top. Of course accompanied by a pizzelle because if you’re going to go big, you might as well go all the way. 🍨☕️🍫 #coffee #coffeegram #coffeetoo #frappe #frozencoffee #whippedcream #cookie #pizzelle #mocha #drinkingchocolate #afternoontreat (at Bellingham, Washington)
