Since I am on spring break and my boys are at school, I get a little time to do things at my own pace. So I get to take my time drinking coffee today. This means I can have a cookie with my coffee without my boys knowing (because we are not allowed to have cookies for breakfast). I also have a big, fat pile of whipped cream on top of my coffee. (I must say the whipped cream topping the coffee is WAY better than the white snow topping the ground on the first day of April in Ohio.) Then to make my coffee even more of a special treat there are fresh chocolate shavings on top. Even if it is only a grated Hershey bar, it's pretty gourmet for home.
This led me to think: You know how at restaurants the servers always come around and offer fresh ground black pepper or freshly grated Parmesan cheese for your food? Everyone knows the server could ask when your order was taken if you would want this added. They could bring a pepper mill or a side of cheese, but there is a reason they do this at the table for you. I don't know exactly what it is, but it makes me feel a little special. So, I think someone should come around and offer freshly shaved chocolate for coffee. Wouldn't you agree that would be a nice addition to the day? Yea, I could order coffee like in the picture, where the chocolate shavings or caramel swirl already comes on the coffee, but to have chocolate shaved onto the whipped cream or coffee right in front of me.... In just the right amount for my taste and need for chocolate in the day.... Mmmm...
In the meantime, I will keep a little chocolate handy to brighten my coffee any day on my terms. But I'm just sayin', someone should really consider this idea.
