There's free coffee at the office, and while it's not very good coffee, hey, man, free coffee.

For additives I have a choice between whole milk and nondairy creamer. Which is okay, whole milk is almost as good as half-and-half for lightening coffee, so I go along with that.

This morning I noticed a quart of half-and-half in the fridge. Which I wouldn't go out of my way to get, but you know, as long as it's there, I might as well.

So I took it out. And then I saw what it was.

It was "Fat Free Half & Half."

What the hell? Fat free half-and-half? Like dehydrated water? Or unscented deodorant? How the hell is that supposed to work?

The ingredient list includes nonfat milk, milk, corn syrup solids, a whole mess of carageenan and a bunch of things I don't know how to spell. In defeat, I put it in my coffee anyway, and so far I haven't exploded.

I tried that stuff once.

Once.

Try tasting it straight. Scary, innit?

Isn't fat free half-and-half basically none-and-none?

Today's my last day at my old job. I've been loaning the office my coffee grinder since we gave up the coffee delivery service last month. I think they've pretty much figured out how to manage without me, but there was some consternation about the future of their coffee supply.

It's up there with low-carb bread, it is.

what's the matter with unscented...well i guess for me it's antiperspirant, not deodorant? but since i'm allergic to perfumes, it's the only kind i can safely use.

otoh, fat free half and half....what is that? whey?

The lesson for today is to drink your coffee black, the way God and Juan Valdez intended.

Your attention please. Topaz just exploded. I'm going around and trying to squeegee the monitors, now.

Apparently you can't spell carrageenan either.

(Oh-oh. He knows where I live, doesn't he?)
