Rainy Friday

This morning I had iced coffee. I have a love/hate relationship with this stuff. For some reason, I like hot coffee without sugar, but iced coffee, to me, should be sweet. But sugar doesn’t dissolve in cold liquids. Quite the predicament, don’t you think?
That’s Jack’s owner’s manual in the background. I think he might be broken. Or foreign. I’m thinking Japanese, probably. He doesn’t quite grasp important words we have in the English language. Things like “no” and “sit” and “stay.” Today, he’s particularly struggling with no. As in, “No, Jack! You cannot chew up the last roll of toilet paper!”
I’m not sure how to transition from toilet paper to yogurt, so:
Morning snack. I am in love with this Sorrell Ridge strawberry jelly. Or, as they like to say, “spreadable fruit.” Which, I hate to break it to them, is jelly. Or jam. I am always confused about the difference. One has seeds, is that it? Anyway, this is good stuff, 100% fruit, and I’m addicted to it.
I agree. We buy a similar brand that claims to be “spreadable fruit.” It is totally jelly with a fancy name.
jelly is the strained stuff, clearer with less texture, jam is thicker and “meatier” in terms of actual fruit product and way better really…
i love “spreadable fruit” i would eat it with a spoon if it weren’t faux pas
and by “would” i mean do, just not in front of people.
I thought jelly was fake chemical stuff and jam was real fruit. It is entirely possible that I made that up. But it sounds good. I’m thinking spreadable fruit is a step above and beyond jam. Whatever that means.
Haha, quite the predicament, indeed - but I agree, iced coffee SHOULD be sweet.
Haha aww, poor Jack - no worries, since Kiwi (my dog) doesn’t like to listen to certain commands either ;0)
Preserves is usually the one with seeds. I just stick to eating real fruit, haha.
yeah i agree, i have a tough time drinking iced coffee unsweetened but i’m trying to tolerate it!
For your ice coffee, have you tried putting the sugar into the hot liquid (coffee), then adding the ice and milk?
