Back when I was a coffee snob, I thought that it would be cool to have this, an empty, used, sack of coffee on my kitchen wall as decoration.
Its time is up – and I have decided to remove it from my walls and, uh, donate it to…. Uh… I guess bio-trash? Or […]
For quite a few years I was a coffee snob – at home, brewing and drinking only 100% Kona Coffee.
It started during my trip to Kona, Hawaii in 2014: the first morning, I was drinking a cup of 100% Kona Coffee when I stopped, turned to my travel companion, and said, “This is […]
This piece of art could sit in two places – my bedroom or my kitchen.
I chose my kitchen.
This was a wonderful present from a dear friend, an amazing piece of fabric art capturing both my love of coffee (well in the past; I quit drinking coffee in November 2018 – save for […]
My Wyoming Cowboys won their basketball game against #15 San Diego State last night. Given the scheduled game times, I tend to sleep through the vast majority of the games – February 16th is the most plausible game for me to watch/hear live, if it weren’t for the fact that I already have plans […]
Morgen Latte.
I have a strange relationship with coffee, and a terrible relationship with caffeine.
Basically, if I get too much caffeine in my system, I cannot sleep.
Unfortunately for me, “too much caffeine” is defined as “more than one cup of coffee”, or, even worse, “coffee after 11:00 in the morning”.
Given my […]
I know that a month or so ago I praised Sankt Oberholz as my new potential regular coffee shop – but it hasn’t actually become my regular haunt – in part because it’s a 45 minute trip by U-Bahn, each way, to the coffee shop, and when I want coffee, that’s a long time.
It’s Thursday in Laramie, Wyoming, and I decided to go downtown to do a little shopping and a little coffee drinking – and while I could have driven downtown in, uh, give or take 5 minutes, I took the Gem City Grand Bus Route – which, between my hotel and downtown, makes […]
Today at 18:00 CET, it’s also 10:00 MST, and I’m at Dazbog in Denver.
No doubt I’ve blogged about Dazbog before: I’ve been coming here for about a decade and aside from the store being rebranded and redecorated, the customers are the same.
Seirously.
From where I’m sitting right now, I recognize two […]
One way that I have adapted to life in Berlin is that I’m much more likely to go shopping at street markets than I was in Weimar – principally because there was only one in Weimar and, well, it never really entered my shopping patterns to go there.
Here in Berlin, I wouldn’t call myself […]
This morning one of my colleagues and I headed to a nearby Imbiss – I’d noticed the signs advertising it a few weeks ago and decided I wanted to go – mainly for the view, not for the food.
However it’s in a red-neck type of setting and I decided I wanted company – hence […]
