“Jimmy, do you smell that?” I asked my husband who was snuggled
under the covers next to me in the queen size bed in the guest room in my son’s
house in Vermont.
“It smells like hazelnut coffee,” he replied as he sat up in
the bed. “Now I smell bacon and toast,” he added.
“It’s just like Michelle to get up early and prepare us
breakfast,” I stated. “She’s like that, always looking after other people. I’m
going to get up and go downstairs and help her.”
“I’ll be down in a few minutes,” Jimmy stated, as he rolled
over in the bed and pulled the covers over his head like a bear who just
entered hibernation.
“Good morning, Michelle,” I stated as I walked into the
kitchen where Michelle was tossing the beacon. “The smell of the coffee woke me
up. What kind of coffee is it?”
“It’s Kemosabe chocolate hazelnut instant coffee,” she
pleasantly answered. “Doesn’t it smell delicious?”
“Yes.”
“Do you want a cup?”
“Yes, Michelle, that would be wonderful.”
“Let me make you a cup. I should just be a minute,” Michelle
answered as she poured half a 16-ounce bottle of water in a coffee mug.
“Oh, instant coffee?” I surprisingly stated.
“Yes, it’s instant coffee. Is that OK with you?
“Of course, Michelle. It’s just that I don’t ever remember
an instant coffee that has such a delightful aroma.”
“Wait till you taste the coffee,” she answered as she
extracted a single serve envelope from the box of Kemosabe chocolate hazelnut
coffee that was on the counter next to the toaster.
I watched as Michelle opened the single serve envelop and
poured its contents into the mug. Here is your coffee, she said as she stirred
the contents into the hot water just before she handed me the cup.
“Humm! This is delicious, Michelle,” I pronounced after I
had taken a sip. “Perhaps the best tasting instant coffee I ever had!”
“Morning, Michelle,” Jimmy stated as he walked into the
kitchen.
“Jimmy, you have got to taste this instant coffee. It’s
chocolate hazelnut and its absolutely delicious,” I announced.
