COFFEE Yes, according to this article consumption of coffee is positively correlated to longer life. I think I'll go brew another cup.

With that list, Red wine, dark chocolate, and Coffee, I'll live forever and be happy doing it.

OH yeah, and lets not forget beer.

I'm gonna die

I'd rather avoid the migraine headache each day than live forever.

Coffee is awesome, if brewed right. And not from Starbucks. I hate overpriced anything.

Tim Horton's for me - for the drinks, the food, and the ground coffee for my coffee maker!

And seeing as how coffee, and it's perfected form Expresso, were discovered/invented/popularized by Italians (most specifically Sicilians), I think everyone should be required to face Palermo and bow five times a day.

Seems only proper, dont'cha think?

Tim Horton was a second rate hockey player who's only claim to fame was getting drunk and driving his car off a bridge one night.

His widow managed to parley the subsequent insurance settlement into a string of third rate restaurants that serve stale coffee and staler sandwiches. (which is fine dining by Canadian standards. Google "poutine" if you don't believe me!)

Now, now, their donuts are superb. Not worth driving all the way to Canada for but if you happen to be there on a fishing trip the biennial boost in your blood sugar is worth it. Their coffee? Meh . . .


I start each day with a double cappuccino (about the size of soup bowl) and then usually make another mid-morning or early afternoon, made from freshly ground Peet's African beans. Ah, bliss!

My time must be up then.

Hey, it's better than anywhere else IMHO! Trust me, their egg sandwiches are way better than any food the local McDonalds serves any day of the week! I should know, as I worked there (McD's) for six years.

You and my 100-year-old mother-in-law both. She's never touched coffee or red wine--and I wouldn't bet on much dark chocolate either. (But I think that "why bother to live to be 100 then?" is a discussable point.)

 

[TE999]

Hehehe. If this coffee/longevity thing is true, I'm gonna give Methuselah a run for his money.

It's all about quality of life, old pilot. And given the advances that are happening at increasing speed among the human immortality researchers, that 100 th birthday might just be fun.

Peet's is good stuff.

You might want to give Lavazza a try though. Makes a better espresso, IMO.

Went to the Aabree Coffee website. Very impressive! Thanx for the tip. I can see a whole new arabica world to explore.

Poutine is delicious!

The only problem is the creeping sense that you might have a heart attack before you turn thirty.

Pfffffft.

So says the chick who hails from the state that holds lutefisk festivals!

Now THERE'S a resounding endorsement!

 

[voluptuary_manque]

Lutefisk *shudder* On the other hand, Lefse are wonderful. (So speaks the Lutheran bear)

Not to mention, Charles Lindbergh and Judy Garland

Those actually look pretty good!

'Course, that's a natch cuz if you fill them full of goat cheese and call 'em "friteddes", they would be Sicilian!

That's why you sip a red wine with the poutine.

Actually, I might do that just to annoy the mister....

Lefse is one of my favorite foods - up there with sweet and sour spareribs, Hawaiian/Deluxe pizza, Tim Horton's Boston Cream donuts, and pirogies with cheedar cheese sausages!
