Pinterest Things Even Lazy People Can Do: Mason Jar Cappuccino

I couldn't decide which blog this should go on, since it was a bit of a crossover post, but I finally settled on my regular blog. But this is totally a Crappy Housewife trick. Make a cappuccino in a mason jar with powdered milk!

Crappy Housewife Tip of the Day

Do you have this problem: You make coffee, and it's too hot to drink. Then [insert anything] happens, and when you go back to drink your coffee later, it's too cold? This happens to me almost every morning. And, yeah, there are some awesome products on the market that will cool your coffee down and/or keep your coffee warm, but, in the meantime, here's a morning-saving tip:

Make your coffee stronger.

Then, leave lots of room in the mug, and add lots of cold milk. The stronger the coffee, the more milk you can add without watering down the taste. (Lattes are 90% milk, and they still taste great. Why? Because espresso is really strong coffee!) Like magic, your coffee is drinking temperature right away! Now, quick, chug it down before [insert anything] happens again!

Crappy Housewife Tip of the Day

Choose one mug to be your Designated Mug I Use For Coffee Every Morning. I have a tendency to not wash dishes unless I need them to use right now, so mugs are one of those things that I will shove to the side while washing the dishes I have fewer of, like my one cutting board (I used to have three, whatever happened to the other two?) I only drink coffee once a day, but somehow, whenever I finally get around to washing all of the dishes, there are at least a dozen dirty mugs sitting there. (I suspect that dirty mugs may breed on counters. There certainly always seem to be too many of them to fit in the cupboard once I finally get them clean.)

So, the last time I got all the mugs clean, I chose one to be my DMIUFCEM. As soon as I am done my morning coffee, I wash the DMIUFCEM, so it will be clean and ready for the next day. Haha, just kidding. The next morning, while my coffee is brewing, I search the house for where I left the DMIUFCEM, and wash it out when I find it. It just had coffee in it less than a day ago, and it's about to have coffee in it again, so a quick rinse will usually suffice.
