The Good Stuff.

The world can seem blurry until you've had that first, perfect cup of coffee in the morning...


 Coffee prep. The "pour over." Leica SL + 50mm TTArtisan f0.95.  Not sharp until after the first dose.

  2. That is much like the coffee cone looks in the morning after a very rough night out.
    Or, New Years Day morning. Eyes don't quite focus right away. Wake up! (and smell the coffee)

  4. I've never understood the "pour over" moniker -it's always been drip coffee to me. Is it supposed to distinguish it from "pour under" coffee? Here's to more depth of field in the morning.

  5. And, if you'd like a new rabbit hole to tumble down, you might have a look at James Hoffmann's site on YouTube (unless, of course, you already have). Hours and hours of witty, intelligent coffee stuff.

  6. Pre loaded and pre-programmed Keurig is perfect for me in the morning. But then I'm a luddite.

  7. Anything that tastes good and delivers requisite caffeine is A-Okay. We're about to get our arctic blast. Plenty of coffee on hand...

  8. -40C here in Cowtown and sometimes worse depending on wind. It's suppose to warm up to -30C today!! Whoopy!!! Time to get out the shorts!!

    Fortunately we are both prepared and use to such weather here. Your summers of +100F weather would be a real problem for us. Most homes in our neck of the woods do not have central AC. However Peggy The Dancing Hippopotamus (our motorhome) has two big roof AC units so we would just go camping and enjoy some lake time.

    Enjoy your coffee along with easy mornings with B over this holiday break.

  9. It's going to be a mellow, mellow week. Dinners with Ben, Christmas Day with the extended family. Kirk covering every plant, shrub and piece of plumbing in sight. We're not well prepared here in Cen-Tex for cold, cold weather. The water pipes to the houses are maybe, maybe buried about six inches down; if that. Older construction isn't alway insulated well. The heaters are spec'd smaller. Etc. Etc. No salt trucks, no tire chains. We just hunker down and hibernate.

    That said, if we survive the next three days (which, of course, we will) there are 70s and 80s in the forecast a week later.

    The charm of Texas weather. Down one day, shorts and sandals the next.
