Two of Forks

While coffee isn't technically a food, it is attended -- pound for pound -- by more fussy, expensive, high-concept chrome-plated kitchen fetishes than anything else you consume. And for good reason; your fabulous, fast-lane, burn-the-Madagascar-vanilla-scented-candle-at-both-ends lifestyle requires more than a little neurochemical goosing to keep the fatigue at bay. This little number cost $600, but that and a pound of Kenya kept you off the therapist's couch for a week. A steal!

Meaning: Awakening, new perspective.

Reversed: Old problems are held at bay.
