Coffee Snob

OK, I admit I indulge this completely. Let's just call me the enabler. About 2 weeks ago I found a professional line coffee pot on sale for a crazy good price. It has a built in grinder, professional level of coffee production, etc. etc. So I bought it for Nick. He has enjoyed some yummy coffee for about 10 days now. Last night we are picking up some weekly groceries and Nick sees this HUGE bag of Starbucks Winter Blend and I hear a groan behind me. He is trying to place it back on the shelf and go for the less expensive brand. In a moment of weakness I just say "Go ahead honey, buy yourself a treat!" Shear pleasure lights up on his face. Later when we get home Nick looks at me as he puts his coffee up and says " I am a coffee snob again!" He is so happy about this!!! Both of us just crack up as we remember the days before kids and graduate school when he would have Starbucks delivered directly to his house every 6 weeks. That certainly doesn't happen anymore but a big bag of Starbucks every now and then never hurt anyone!!
