I never get tired of that Groundhog Day
gag, sorry for the inevitable confusion it caused once again (I even got a call
from my brother about the "error")... I guess this is the price of comedy.
This
page (linked yesterday) should fill in the blank for those who aren't
following.
I destroyed some coffee equipment for the first time in quite some time this
morning (you may
recall this used to be a habit for me), as my coffee grinder stopped grinding
mid-grind today. This is sort of a blessing in disguise, as this total breakdown
had been preceded by a period of semi-functionality where it took longer to
grind the beans than it did to boil the water (even if I slowed the process by
applying the scientific principle of watching the pot). While I try to locate a
proper grinder (recommendations are welcome) I picked up one of those cheap
chopper dealies from the supermarket for my emergency java needs... that may not be true grinding,
but the convenience is undeniable, as this chopping process takes all of 10 seconds
rather than closer to 10 minutes with the failing grinder.
