I've recently been doing some instant coffee with milk and it is really fucking good. Around February I wanted a bit of a classic snack the way my grandparents would, some sweet bread with instant coffee. So I got myself some. I had forgotten the powdered creamer, so I used milk. I was pleasantly surprised.

I care more about real milk in coffee than the coffee, up to a point - there is coffee so bad it can't be redeemed. So your powdered creamer offends me more than your powdered coffee, lol. Good instant coffee is probably not past that line. My husband drinks instant coffee, I use his as an ingredient in things but don't love it as coffee. It's better than the work pods though.

AFA sweet bread - I made a sourdough babka this weekend and can most highly recommend this dough for sweet breads, it was amazing. So good my penultimate child (who takes Adderall so not much appetite) took one bite and immediately cut herself three slices.

I haven't tried sourdough for my babka, but thanks for the recommendation! That's a great way to use up some flour before next week. Have you tried using Nutella spread as the filling? That one is very popular in my household haha

Wow that does sound so good! I did dark chocolate with a little cinnamon.
