BAH HUMBUG!
The Grinch stole my event listings!!!! Sorry, fans, if you were lost for a day. Saturday's events are now being updated. I think I was dozing off while blogging . . . as I often say, CoffeeCat needs more caffeine to do this job!

Humbug Status Update
Still not humbug! Feels kinda weird, like something is missing this year. I refuse to think of Christmas while I'm still in Thanksgiving mode. So, I think I'll go bake a pumpkin pie.

Coffee Shop Dilemma
One day after I wrote the yummy post about all the coffee shop treats I found on coffee shop Facebook pages, Cafe Roche posts this:
"Civet Cat Coffee is here! $49.99 per French Press. Great Gift for any Coffee Connoisseur!"
What is it and why is it 50 bucks, you ask? If you haven't seen Morgan Freeman's explanation to Jack Nicholson in The Bucket List, read all about it on Wikipedia, then hurry back to the blogspot.
Now, you're back. My dilemma is, do I say "Blech, gross, how could you??" and forget about it? Or, intrigued by two of the greatest actors ever, do I try it to see what all the fuss is about? Or, does the price pretty much weed out all the people who aren't already believers?
Now, the information is in your head and YOU have a dilemma. My suggestion: Buy the coffee, invite all your friends over, and watch The Bucket List. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll start writing your own list. The experience is probably worth the $50 bucks and if the coffee tastes great, it's a bonus. As we near the start of a New Year, the timing couldn't be better.
Now that's some profound advice from CoffeeCat (no relation to Civet Cat.)

Simplyummy's Groupon deal runs Dec. 1. It's a deal you won't be able to resist. And try the new prosciutto breakfast panini.

Why settle for a candy cane when you can have a peppermint affogato (two scoops of Homeland Creamery peppermint ice cream drowned by two shots of espresso) at Cafe Roche?
