The 13 yr old gets up, immediately shuffles to the coffee pot and groggily pours a cup like an old woman 👵

@CrazyMusicLover I mean it wakes me up (after the 2nd or 3rd) but I definitely don't experience it as a remotely addictive thing

@Elessar I only like it for dipping sweets into it for the flavour. 😆

@CrazyMusicLover As a base for the gelato 🥴 but it's the gelato that is addictive in that case, not the coffee

Typically if I'm posting about her I try to keep from identifying gender because I don't like the SW-creepers to be alerted to the fact I even have a daughter.

@Starcrossed I don’t blame you. I was hesitant with identifying the gender of this man I’ve fallen for recently because the creeps will know I do, in fact, like men too and take it as this:

Two already have already. 😆

@Wallflow3r Lol she's fierce

@MarineBob Lol mini-me for sure. Once in a blue moon she'll even brew it for us.

@NativePortlander1970 seriously. She doesn't do it every day. Maybe once or twice a week.

@Starcrossed There might be something going on, You might need to sit her down and ask if anything is going on.

@CountScrofula ooh I hope this means I raising up a foodie like you

@Starcrossed I was a very late bloomer on food. Hated cooking growing up, only like, a vague interest in food beyond eating as much of it as possible being a teenager. When I moved out from home I realised I actually sincerely loved my parents' cooking and hated eating garbage all the time. So I SLOWLY taught myself to cook. I genuinely wasn't a good cook until my late 20s. So hope she starts earlier than I did lmao

@CountScrofula much, we've had her help cook dinner for several years now. She basically does anywhere from 1/2 to most of our blue apron meals herself now. Her chopping and prep skills are getting much better as she's more confident with a knife so that makes me worry less that she'll chop a finger off.
