My first wife was Polish. I ate well even if she couldn't cook.

Decaf? That word will never pass my lips. I'm at work or i'd come up with a good image to go with the thought but I'll have to default. I am currently about to inhale a large mug of Columbian / Hazelnut blend. It smells divine. I'm having a religious moment here.
I'm home a half gallon low on blood but I have a flu shot and pneumonia shot. After much poking and prodding they have confirmed i am not dead or likely to die in the next couple of months. After that, I have a new appointment. I have all new medications across the board.
Next time I get x-rays plus labs. Then I'll be low on blood and glow in the dark.
Evening y'all. I'm settling in with some decaf (shhhh don't tell Chloe). I've worked my ass off this week and I think I'll be able to finish this week's work hours tonight. I'll have four hours of free time tomorrow! All to myself! To write smut! Which I haven't really done in four years!
Now watch a kid get sick just to spite me.
Tx! My goodness. I hope all is well.

Never tried to make pirogi but pizzelli make me want to buy a deep fat fryer!
All is well. Just some old folks hospital humor. Humor is some of the best medicine in the world.
Pierogies? I always buy the dough but they're so easy to make. I make huge batches and freeze them. Easier to make than chinese dumplines and there's some good recipes online. I'm just getting some out of the freezer now to take with me for lunch now that you've reminded me.
Buy the dough?
That's relatively simple to make as well. The recipe I have only calls for three ingredients...but it does require a lot patience, sure.
Depending on how much walking I've done in the day I may lower myself to a decaf if it's after 3:00 p.m., but if I've exceeded my daily 10K steps? Never! Besides a half bottle of good red wine does wonders for one's ability to get to sleep, official medical doctrine to the contrary.
All those doctors who believe otherwise are probably Northerners!
Its the time making the dough. Easier to buy it pre-made, and its a lot faster. Mind you, I could say the same about instant coffee.....
Instant what-now? Why must you spew such vile blasphemy so early in the morning?
I mentioned de-caf because I have heard that it is possible to do oneself no good by having too much coffee, too strong, too often. Apparently it does no good to the nervous system and can take a while to get over it. I have no desire to cause revulsion or chaos by merely mentioning the stuff (although it ain't that bad if you're desperate for a flavour). Perish the thought!. I'd be interested to know what types of coffee are available to you guys. Arabica, Kenya Peabody, Blue Mountain or what ?)
All joking aside, I drink at least one glass of water for every cup of coffee. Flush that caffeine thru. Types of coffee? Mine is all just blends from the supermarket. I have no idea where the beans come from. I'm no coffee connesieur - as long as its strong and it tastes ok I'm good. I do have a weakness for hazelnut'vanilla tho

We've only recently been 'exposed' to flavourings for coffee (in our local shop), way out in the sticks, so I cannot say I've tried any of them. I have enough trouble getting an acceptable blend ! (This is due to my taste buds being burned almost to a crisp by the Linac that burned out the tumour in my throat).
I generally settle of normal "instant" (Nescafe) every other time.
The reason I mentioned it is that I remember the story of a military pilot who was taken off flying duties as his nerves were having trouble with excess coffee. Apparently it took him a while to get back in the flying seat.

IMO ... Don't!
Ack!
I'd rather drink decaf than flavored coffee. ... and I don't drink decaf.
Thank you for that undoubtedly sage advice.
This is the coffee I use in my espresso / latte machine:
And sometimes, I'd like to have it this way:
