Puzzles and accompaniments T

 

My sincere apologies.  I am still very sick.  I thought it was food poisoning, but no one else who went to breakfast with me got sick.  And if it was food poisoning, it would or should have passed by this morning (Monday).  I promise to visit everyone who visited me on Sunday and for T Tuesday.  However, I fear I'll be a bit slow visiting.

Please come with me to The Spice Merchant today, where I show a few different things this week. 

I found a few items that can be used in conjunction with your coffee (or tea).  There are generic pods for machines that use them.  Fill them with your favorite brew and enjoy.
 
For those of you who have an espresso machine, you might need an extra container for the milk.
 
Of course, you might also need espresso mugs, a milk frother, a double espresso tamper, reusable coffee filters, coffee spoons, or even clips to store your coffee.
 
I know Lisca and a few others of you enjoy puzzles.
 
Here are some
 
I found while waiting to get my "free" pound of coffee.
 
I thought these were quite unique.  
 
Some puzzle company put an entirely different spin on puzzles.
 
Now it's your turn to share your own drink related post.  It can be gifts you received, photos, a place you visited, movies, postcards, mail art, junk mail, catalogs, books, sketches, mixed media, drawings, paintings, tags, scrapbooking, or other art that is digital, hybrid, or traditional, as long as it in some way relates back to a drink, any drink.  Regardless, please share below and Bleubeard and I, along with the rest of the T gang will be by to visit.   Please link only your T post and not your blog in general.  Bleubeard would like to remind you that old photos are acceptable because they may be taken any time, not just on Tuesday and most assuredly not just this year.   
 

 

 
It may be a week early, but you now have ample time to dig up your Second on the 2nd.  Any style, any length, any genre, as long as it has been published sometime in the past.

I hope you feel better soon. And I hope you didn't get that parasite that was found in lettuce, but I thought that would be passed by now. I don't have a new post, but am having a quiet evening so thought I'd stop by. Take care and I hope you feel better soon. hugs-Erika

As soon as a puzzle is started from those bags it is no longer portable regardless of what they call it--lol!

Again? I'm so sorry to hear that you are not feeling well. Get better soon!
What interesting little gadgets to do with coffee. I don't have a fancy machine but of course I know the professional espresso machines, that have the milk frother.
I love jigsaws. Those portable ones look quite interesting.
I will be participating in Second on the 2nd as I have it lined up already. I have written my blogposts in advance as I'm traveling.
Happy T-Day,
Lisca

I am so sorry to hear that. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
I thought those puzzle packages are chocolates. Would go so well with coffee or tea.
