note to self: remove lid before adding beans to grinder.
it's a good idea to take the lid off of your coffee grinder before you pour your beans in; otherwise, you will have this situation on your hands:

reduce, reuse, repurpose
i am always thinking of new ways to use old things. why throw something out, when it still has plenty of life left to give. what started out as a cute little candle ...
... ended up as a "vase" for my air plant.

enamelware
i found this enamel coffee pot at an antique shop in monterey, ca and the matching cup came from ebay.
for a touch of whimsy, i hung the pot on a shepherd's hook under our plum tree and placed the cup on a little table i had in storage. as you can see, not all yard art has to come from a garden center.

philz coffee
this is the bag of tesora daughter #1 gave me for christmas. do you notice anything out of the ordinary about the package?
the bag of coffee is actually a pound! while most roasters sell their bags of coffee in 12 ounce bags, philz actually gives you a full pound. just like the old days! how refreshing. thanks philz. and thanks daughter #1 for the pound of coffee!
[in august of 2012 i had visited philz and i remember being impressed with the staff. everyone was very friendly. and not the fake friendly you get at other shops. a real friendly, with a real smile. there are over a dozen philz coffee shops, but unfortunately for me, they are all in the bay area.]

christmas coffee 2013
my christmas was filled with family, laughter and coffee. both of my daughter's came bearing bags of beans! they live on opposite ends of the country so as far as coffee is concerned, i've got the best of both worlds.
daughter #1 lives up north, so she came with philz coffee from san francisco and daughter #2 is currently living in new york, so came with coffee from mud.
best. daughters. ever.
