Daily, nearly hourly, I’m watching the weather. I’m searching doppler radar, searching for news of snow/ice/frozen wildlife/pestilence/whatever. All I can say is “global warming rules!”

I’m a fairly substantial coffee drinker. Uh, that didn’t come out right. I’m not supporting 3rd world producers of coffee beans yet but I do drink a lot of coffee. Eventually I will be able to supply enough gallstone birdshot to Ted Nugent for an entire hunting season. That said, I’m always looking for ways (short of mainlining Gevalia) to get that precious nectar into my bloodstream quicker.

So, this morning I’m pouring the requisite packets of creamer (at least 2) and a tiny bit of sugar (no more than 1/2 a packet) when an idea strikes me –ready-made wafers of cream and sugar.

Someone at the Cremora factory should create compacted, wafer-thin soluble packets that can be dropped into a cup of coffee. They could be sold in different consistencies and strengths (double cream, double sugar) and even incorporate flavors. Really, it’s no more insane than those chocolate scoop snaks.

And there’s your free idea for the day.

(addendum: it occurs to me that you could use sugar as the binding agent for these wafers.)
