What NOT to do to your Coffee

So there you go. This Delicious Life isn't always just about drinking and dining out and drinking (yes, I said "drinking" twice), strutting about town in a figure-friendly wrap dress and leg-lengthening 4" stilettos. Sometimes I strut about the kitchen in a frilly little apron.

And 4" stilettos.
