C is for Coffee, Crest Whitestrips, and Chowder Ted’s.


C is for Coffee, Crest Whitestrips, and Chowder Ted’s.

Coffee: Good morning and good for you. Usually takes me 2 cups minimum to get a heart rate when I wake up. Coffee is full of antioxidants and also revs up your metabolism. Woot! My two favorite kinds of coffee are Dynamite’s “Ethiopia” and Fresh Market’s “Coconut Cupcake.” Dynamite Roasting Company has phenomenal coffee developed by some former musician gents in Asheville, NC. It is certified organic by Clemson University, and can be ordered online at
http://www.dynamiteroasting.com/ As for the Coconut Cupcake, enough said. Available at Fresh Market and reasonably priced. PS: Fresh Market coffee is close to their candy aisle. I was dying to include candy in my blogette…Fresh Market has tons of good candy...like those sour valentine lips and yummy gummy worms. Grab somma dat, too.

Crest Whitestrips: All this talk about coffee and candy brings us to teeth. Brush after coffee, scrape the tongue, and double gargle to get rid of your rancid breath. Then, once a week or whenever those stains start creeping on your teef, use CREST WHITESTRIPS. I swear by them. They are about $24.00 now and last for as long as whenever you use them up. Crest tells you use them in a 2 week period. They’ll make your teeth ultra sensitive if you do that. I say a couple of times a week when you first bleach them and then as desired for maintenance. Downside: the strips don’t cover all of your teeth so you’ll have a few in the back that are still muddled yellows. Upside: cheap and effective for most your visible pearls. PS2: I just used them while I typed this portion. About 15-20 minutes is all you’ll need to avoid sensitivity.

Chowder Ted’s: You probably have to be a Jacksonville local to know about this place. Thanks to Garrett, I had the pleasure this week of having a Michelob Ultra, conch fritters, and a heaping bowl of Ted’s chowder for lunch. The chowder is tomato based, not creamy. Large chunks of fresh fish, carrots, red potatoes, and shrimp swim in the delicous broth. It is served in an actual stainless steel pot from the stove. Amazing. You must try this place. Located on Heckscher on the left hand side if you are heading towards Fernandina. To be specific: 5215 Heckscher Dr. You’ll probably need to use the Garmin for this one so you don’t miss it. It is nestled by the water--almost under a bridge--with a great view. The people are SO VERY nice that work at the establishment.

PS3: one more "C." Thanks, Cayce, for reading!

Till next time, I’ll be on the road, in the air, in an interview, or somewhere other than sitting still.
xoxo,
jessie
