    Coffee makes me SLEEPY!!!

    Seriously, It reminds me of when I was a babe and since chocolate was a bit expensive the parents gave children Coffee-Milk.
    Shall these bones live?

    I guess to balance it out, work out. :< I wish everything was calorie-free.
    Working out is a stress reliever for me...I do it anyways despite the stuff I eat/drink.

    coffee milk? to Kids?
    That reminds me of something my grandmother told me years ago. During ww2, when Ireland was in The Emergency and everything was rationed, Kids were give parsnips covered in Banana essense because the real thing, even though a luxury back then, was completely unavailable. Just though i'd share that with you!

    Sweetie, that sounds disgusting. ... Banana "essence"? What on earth is that? It sounds slightly x-rated to me, but my mind is sometimes in the gutter, I'm afraid.

    I like bananas and I actually like just about every vegetable (except lima beans), so I could eat parsnips without any sort of banana essence.

    Ah...the light dawns...

    Over here we call those flavorings "extracts" (just because we like to be "different" I suppose!) so I didn't know quite what you meant there exactly... Still seems nasty, though. But when people are hungry or deprived food is food and doesn't really matter I guess.

    I was thinking the same thing. Obviously that's not what she was talking about because you know, it's a fruit and not a living being but yeah, I was thinking the same thing.

    I could maybe deal with banana flavored parsnips better than the real thing. I don't mind the flavor of bananas but I can't stand the texture of the things. I start gagging after about the first bite.

    Well, yea...I knew it couldn't be "that" exactly...it just popped into my head. Glad to know I am not the only one! *blush*

    Allergic to bananas. And, ew.

    Coffee is wonderful! I work at a coffee shop, a little family-owned place. Starbucks has awful coffee. Any way of drinking is fine, whether plain americanos or triple-shot mochas! Though right now everyone wants the frozen cold drinks as Ohio's scorching...

    You wouldn't believe some of the drinks out there. If you think a vanilla latte's fancy, try the Buckeye--espresso, milk, white chocolate, peanut butter, lined with dark chocolate and peanut butter and topped with those and whipped cream!

    Seriously? You don't like bananas? Bananas are my favorite. They're cheap and easy and you can put them in your Cheerios or on your peanut butter sandwich or in your smoothie...

    I do not like banana splits though. Adding a banana to the mix ruins a perfectly good sundae in my opinion.

    I've heard of people not liking mayonaise, but I thought a banana was one of those things that everybody likes.

    My boyfriend hates bananas, but then his tastes are pretty much "if it's healthy, I hate it" so his judgement is somewhat biased. I like them, but they aren't my favorite...my current favorite is blackberries since I have a blackberry bush just outside the porch door. The darn things grow wild and spread like crazy, but the berries are very nice. I expect when they are gone, peaches will be my favorite.

    Oh my! Blackberries are my faaaaave berries. They're so expensive at the market, too. >:[ They come in such small baskets, but I eat them all in one sitting. :0

    My fave fruit is probably nectarine. Ahhh deliciousss.
    And bananas aren't bad at all. I eat them just like any other fruit.
    Fruits I don't like include green melon, melon, pineapple, and TOMATO. *ick*

    I feel like I'm typing up some compatibility profile.

    Coffee milk is pretty traditional is some cultures though...its common in, or at least where my family is, to give kids coffee milk...its more milk than coffee.

    Well, I'm barely 5'5"...I grew up on coffee...decaf until I got older...but it is pretty common. My mom used to mix in cinnamon...did I spell that right? I can't even say it right, jeez!! She also put a little chocolate in, where she grew up there was a local 'hot' chocolate 'factory', Rey Amargo...yummy...with my dads she would mix a little tequila,haha
