When Should I pick edamame or soybeans? Harvest soybeans the moment you see the bottom leaves start to turn yellow but the rest of the plant is green. The entire plant will turn rapidly so don't waste any time because the beans will be too tough to eat. Pick em fast (see pics below) 1 day and they can turn brown.

The freshly brewed coffee was poured into the cup.
A daily ritual's aroma was mingled with freshly baked bread, dipped into the black sea of sweetened coffee. Bread drenched with this morning's goodness, made its way to the anticipating lips. A scene that played out every day, of every year.

Coffee beans hand picked, roasted then roughly ground, held its own uniqueness.

My proclivity for drinking coffee stems from an innate hatred of mornings. I like the nightlife; I like to boogie - so while most people are bounding out of bed yipping about sunshine and lollipops in  super-chipper voices, I'm calling the alarm clock a filthy name, hoping I don't break yet another snooze button.

Here’s some sweet news to add to your morning coffee:  Regular coffee drinkers are likely to live longer, says the largest study ever done on the subject.

Even better, it doesn’t matter whether you drink regular or decaf.

To examine the relationship between coffee and health, researchers with the National Institutes of Health looked at the coffee drinking habits of more than 400,000 AARP members ages 50 to 71 between 1995 and 1996, then followed them until 2008.

In today’s New York Times, there is one article discussing the benefits of drinking coffee and one article questioning the positive health impacts of high levels of good cholesterol. It was comical to observe that one of the studies made me cheer – yay, more coffee! – and one of the studies made me frown – boo, less guacamole!

So much of the Internet is already taken up with dudes nerding out about coffee, so I don't really feel the need to add to the Greater Body Of Work. But if you need proof of my coffee geek cred, consider that I have a whole shelf devoted to coffee supplies. Currently, I've got:

A friend of mine is offering eleven drink boxes of coconut water to anyone who might like them.  (If you live in the Kansas City area, look her up.)  "Most ridiculous impulse buy I've made to date," she proclaims.

It's a pretty great one, I think.  Just say the words coconut water out loud (or imagine doing it, if you're reading this on the bus or something).
