Is your coffee & dessert holding hands or fighting for center stage?!

Have you ever had guests over and we're about to serve up a luscious chocolate, caramel ,cheesecake, and then all of the sudden......you panic.........your mind races.......you think, "I wonder if the roast of my coffee will be palatable with this dessert?!!!"
  Now most of us wouldn't bother with such trivialities right? We are just glad there's something to serve our  guests and relieved the house is in half-way decent order! But in the world of coffee and food, the two really go hand in hand. So here's a tip for you to try next time you have company, or maybe to try on your unsuspecting hubby or boyfriend!!! *evil laugh*
  **When serving a rich dessert such as, a German chocolate cake -compliment with a medium roast coffee.
You want your dessert and coffee to blend and compliment the other, with the dessert as the featured highlight.
  **When serving a light dessert such as, a light fruit pastry or a biscotti- compliment with a very light roast.
Your ultimate goal here is to have the coffee just a little less than the dessert your serving!!!
  Have fun!!!
Stop by today to try our freshly made  shortbread-almond biscotti!!!
Until next time remember, friends don't let friends drink coffee alone!:)
