Yep..it has finally happened. Someone has found a use for instant coffee.
All of those years when you wondered why in the world Taster’s Choice even existed, all of those stale jars of Folger’s instant….well..now you know. Everything has a purpose…even instant coffee…
Sunshine Plata, a Filipino artist is using instant coffee as a painting medium. She used to use oils but since they are so expensive she looked around for something that was more available….instant coffee!
So, now she created paintings with instant coffee and sells them for $400.00 (and up) USD.
You should really take a look at her work. They are fascinating, especially when you take into consideration that she is using instant coffee.
She says that she doesn’t drink coffee, she prefers tea.
I got rid of that nasty Dunkin Donuts stuff too soon!

marye,
the only thing i’ve ever bought instant coffee for was my g-ma’s visits (don’t understand why she prefers that) and to make that coffee frappe punch recipe from HAH. do you remember it? (do you still have it?) it actually was pretty good and got lots of compliments at the few gatherings i served it.
Oh wow, Cindy! I haven’t thought of that punch in YEARS…I need to hunt it up.
when you find it, please send it to me.
I will CIndy!
