Simple Pleasure - Fireside Coffee


I recieved this email from my daughter the other day:

Hi Mother!
I was just wondering if you could make me some more fireside coffee sometime? No rush. I still have a few cups left. I love to have it for company and for me too!
Love Kimmy
  My replay:

You bet I will...
I will do it  for you & anyone else.
Just let me gather the ingredients and it's yours.
Love Ya, MOM

I love it when my grown children ask me to make or do something for them.
The mother in me just comes alive.

It's just a Simple Pleasure to fulfill any request.

  2. Well, the recipe looks yummy, but I love the mother/daughter connection here the most. I need a mom. You're too young. You could be my sister, though! :)

  6. Love, love the sound of this coffee, and the name you gave it, as well. I must mix up some. I also get all motherly when my daughter asks me to make something specific for her. That is truly a simple pleasure I hope I never take for granted.

  8. Christine this sounds really nice.
    By 'creamer' do you mean the coffee-mate?
    I don't drink coffee but my hubby does.
    This looks like a great gift to make!

  17. Can I be your daughter for a day - and have some of that Fireside Chat with that cup of coffee?? :)

  18. First, I agree with that simple pleasure completely. It's the reason that half my house and half my mom's house is headed out of town to help a daughter with a function. LOL

    And I love the recipe. I was so glad you included it. I make my own cocoa, but I have never made a coffee like that. This goes in the WILL MAKE column.

    Even though I'm not a coffee drinker, this sounds really good! I too love to do things for my two daughters. That Mothering instinct never goes away does it?
