Cynthia, that is terrific. As a coffee lover, I enjoyed each and every napkin!
The fifth one down reminded me of my first marriage. One day, we had left the coffee maker on all day while we were at work. I was surprised we hadn't burned the house down, but all that was left in the pot was a hardened, blackened disk at the bottom. So the next morning, I got up, added water to the pot and turned the burner on so that it would warm up and loosen the stuff stuck in the bottom. Then I went on my usual 45-minute morning walk. When I came home, hubby was enjoying a cup of coffee and the newspaper. "Oh, you made coffee!" I said. The response? "No, you did." The scary part was that he didn't think anything was wrong with it.

Is he still single? I know someone who makes a "killer" shrimp and rice dish. :D (See rice thread if this doesn't instantly make sense.)

Yes, unfortunately, I believe he is. And he is truly a wonderful guy. Funny about the shrimp and rice thing. Yes, they may make a good match! He would sometimes come home for lunch and there would be tons of leftovers, or cold cuts or whatever, and he'd have a slice of Kraft American cheese (I know you like that stuff too.), and a fudgcicle. When I would be making dinner that same evening, he'd say "When's dinner going to be ready? I'm famished--I only had "such and such" for lunch." I'd say, "Why didn't you have some of the (insert wonderful leftover here) from last night." "OH, I forgot all about that!" He was definitely in the "eat to live" category.
