Suspended Coffee In Colorado Springs - 3/30/2014

Hello again. Thank you for your viewership. My blog post on Suspended Coffee has gotten a good amount of views.  To continue with the theme of Suspended Coffee, I found a coffee shop in Colorado Springs, CO that has a Suspended Coffee program.  The coffee shop is called Gold Hill Java in the Downtown area.  It is located at 332 N. Tejon St. Their website is: http://www.goldhilljavadowntown.com/

I went there today for a cup of coffee and put some money into the Suspended Coffee program.  It's a running gift certificate.  As of 1 pm this afternoon, it's at $11.73  Why don't we double or triple it by the end of this week.  One of the baristas there told me that this has to be more publicized.  So, that's why I'm blogging about it.  If you owe someone, you pay it back. If you don't owe anyone, pay it forward.  There's no excuse for not changing a life today.

Mundo Fries At Mundo Las Vegas - 3/29/2014

Hello once again. This is the second blog post today.  My friends at Mundo: A Latin Chic Restaurant in Las Vegas, Nevada sent me a picture of their Mundo Fries.  What are Mundo Fries?  Mundo Fries are sweet potatoes plus Idaho potatoes with fresh ground ancho chile and cotija cheese.  Here is the picture that they sent me.

Doesn't that look good?  Mundo is located at 495 S. Grand Central Parkway Ste A-116 in Las Vegas, NV.  Make sure you stop by when you're in Las Vegas.

If you have ever tried these fries, please leave me a comment and tell me about them.  I'll see you on my next blog post.  Have a great day!

Baked Chocolate Sweet Potato - 3/29/2014

Hello again.  Last night, I made a baked chocolate sweet potato.  I wrapped a sweet potato in foil. I put it in a pan.  I baked it at 360 degrees F for one hour.  I took it out of the oven and unwrapped the foil after about 5 minutes to slightly cool.  I split it in half, fluffed it with a fork, put margarine, black onyx chocolate sugar and some store brand of hazelnut spread on it.  Here's the picture of the finished product.

I hope you will try this.  Let me know how it turns out.

It's About More Than The Coffee - 3/25/2014

Hello there. I came across a Huffington Post article about Suspended Coffee.  Here is the link to the article. Suspended Coffee 

It's about, "Paying It Forward" a cup of coffee. Think of it as a random act of kindness.  Don't we need more random acts of kindness in our world today?

Helping other people & changing people's lives is a must every day of our lives. Who knows when you'll be the one needing help.

I'll see you on my next blog post.  Have a great day!

College Student's Decision: Learning Or Eating - 3/20/2014

Hello there.  I recently read an article that says that there are an increasing number of food pantries on college campuses across the United States.  In this day and age, college students have to decide whether to learn or eat with the money they have for their college education. This should not be.

Students need the proper foods to be at their best to learn and change the world for the better.  If there is a "No Child Left Hungry", there should be a "No Student Left Hungry".  I am grateful for community cafes such at Seeds Community Cafe in Colorado Springs, Colorado.  College students should consider volunteering some of their spare time for a meal.

What happens to somebody affects everybody. There is no way around it.  Just think about it. Everyone is important in ways we may never know.

You can follow me on Twitter @uniquelymike and e-mail me at mikea1@earthlink.net  Please share this post with as many people as possible. I hope that one day, there will be many more community cafes in the U.S. working with colleges and universities.

I'll see you on my next blog post.  Have a great day.
