Or whatever I said in the last entry…

It’s Teeccino.

It’s for people who like coffee but want to stop with the caffeine nightmare that is a headache as soon as you wake up, aching back / neck /shoulders every friggin’ day, inability to prioritize while the rest of your mind runs away from you like it’s on crack, sitting on the toilet all day from all the acid… you know, that sort of thing. If you’re not having a problem with coffee, I envy you. I used to be that person.

Now it’s like a monster or something, screaming “Feed me!!!!”

From sunrise to bedtime. It’s evil.

I broke my habit a while back and was doing good… but this stuff from Costco smells incredible. And I can smell it everytime I walk by the kitchen door. And more than anything about coffee, I love the taste and the warmth of it. I like warm fluids.

(That’s what she said?)

But my dairy strike has cocoa out of the question and tea leaves me with the same headache problem.

So, Teeccino. I went to Whole Foods and got two varieties. Maya Caffe and Mocha.

I’m drinking the Maya Caffe right now.

It’s like… If you’ve ever had soy milk or rice milk, you might remember the first time you tried it. You might have been expecting it to taste like cow’s milk. And yet, it didn’t. Soy milk tastes like soy milk. And rice milk tastes like rice milk. Same with all the other “milks.” Nothing tastes like cow’s milk except cow’s milk.

The same with this stuff. It’s not coffee. It’s like I had that expectation of coffee taste because it’s brown and looks just like it. But then it hits your mouth and you realize… this is not coffee.

Now, that’s not to say it’s bad or anything. I like soy milk and rice milk because I like them. But not because they’re cow’s milk. I don’t drink any of the alternate milks with the same devotion that I once had for cow’s milk. Not even close.

But this could be a good, warm fluid to make up for the habit I have when I’m working and reading. I really like that part of it. I kind of feel lost in space when I don’t have it. It doesn’t taste bad at all, in fact it’s pretty good.

Anyway, we’ll see. Expect more bitchy until my caffeine habit is completely broken. I’ll call my mood “beeccino.”
