First off: A friend directed me to this blog. It's pretty brilliant. Dammit, why are all the good ideas taken? http://puttingweirdthingsincoffee.com
Also: Breakfast yesterday. I'd been out of town for a few days, so my fridge was pretty empty, and the undergrad I tutor wanted to meet me early (since when do undergrads willingly wake up before noon?), so no time to put something together. So I stopped by Cafe Romeo on my way in to school, which is pretty much always a good idea, regardless of fridge status. The pastry case was pretty sparsely stocked for breakfast time, but on top was sitting a basket of cranberry-curry scones. Yes, cranberry-curry. Of course I got one. And you know what? It was delicious. The cranberry and the curry flavors really worked together, like those Indian/Middle Eastern dishes with savory spices and raisins. Could have even used a bit more sugar on top, to highlight the sweetness. It would have gone beautifully with a nice cup of Assam, but the closest I had was Yunnan. Alas. Still, breakfast success. Put that in your coffee, Mr. Weird Things. I dare you.
