Foodbuzz's Tastemakers recently sent me two bags of Peet's Coffee to try. I love my coffee so I couldn't wait to give both a try.
I first tried Cafe Solano which is a medium roast. The beans are a blend of vibrant and aromatic beans from Africa, the Americas and the Indo Pacific. When they say this coffee is Lively and Aromatic - they weren't kidding. This coffee was very pleasing.
The second coffee was Cafe Domingo which is also a medium roast. This coffee come from three Latin American beans giving it a smooth taste with a hint of toffee sweetness and a clean crisp finish. They described this one perfectly! I love my flavored coffees but sometimes the flavor is simply too strong. To correct this I mix my flavored coffee 1/4 to 3/4 with regular. This gives me just a touch of flavor. With the Cafe Domingo, the hint of toffee is so light and delicate that there is no need to dilute. This is a great morning as well as evening coffee.
And my travel cup comes in just in time for the crisp mornings we've been having here in NC.

I'm from Georgia, moved to North Carolina by way of Florida. I've been in Charlotte for 14 years and love it. The recipes in my book Stir, Laugh, Repeat are all tested by "Food Testers" of which I now have 24. They try a dish and rate it from 1-10 with only those scoring at least an 8 making the book. My website is a holding place for my 2nd book Stir, Laugh, Repeat... Again. Please visit my site to find new recipes and tips. All recipes are easy, using common ingredients and according to my testers, great!
When I wrote my introduction about a year ago and a lot has happened since then. I now have 5 blog sites that keep me pretty busy. Two of my sites are dedicated to nothing but recipes. Martha's Recipe Cabinet holds recipes that will be included in one of my upcoming cookbooks. Martha's Kitchen Korner consists of recipes that are good but still need just a bit of work. On A Book and A Dish you will find my book reviews and the author's favorite recipe. Stir, Laugh, Repeat holds reviews written about my cookbook Stir, Laugh, Repeat and the site you are now on is the "mother" site for all of these. Here you will find cooking tips, simple recipes and updates for additions to the "offspring sites." So, enjoy!

Always enjoy reading about good coffee. I recently attended a promotion for coffees in a local duty free plaza and purchased a book that details the history of coffee growing in Hawaii. Now I seem to find Kona coffee available everywhere!
I like your suggestion for adding the mock crab to the stuffed shells. Thanks for the suggestion.
