One Less Smart Mouthed Kid

I had my wisdom teeth out yesterday and aside from desperately trying to avoid dry sockets, I have not been doing much of anything. Right now, I'm trying to get full on beef broth while binge-watching  30 Rock. My diet consists of GoGo Squeez applesauce and ice-cream soup, which is exactly what you think it is.  Now I'm sitting here with a swollen face, reminiscing about French press lattes and toasted English muffins topped with hot capocollo.  I began to flip through my December edition of Bon Appetit Magazine, but didn't feel like driving myself crazy looking at all the pictures of food I couldn't eat.

Let me tell you why I absolutely love my French press. I'm one of three coffee-drinkers in my house, and we've recently acquired a Keurig coffee maker. The single-cups of coffee are just really weak; they don't quite feed the bulldog. I like my coffee strong, but I know if I make a whole pot of joe I'll be the only drinking it. I like being able to make a personal pot of coffee as strong as I like it.

I use a MR. COFFEE French press which is cool because it's large enough to make a pot to share and it has a really good filter. The first French press coffee I had was made by a boy who had no idea what he was doing, using a press with a terrible filter. There were grounds floating all around my coffee, but he was so proud of his work that I couldn't say anything. In addition to an awesome filter, this press comes with an electric milk frother. I've been making more lattes than I really need.

Bottom line: coffee is important and having your wisdom teeth out is definitely not fun.



Peace and love. XXX.

I'm new here.

I'm at a stage in life where the things that I do are no longer influenced by other people, but by my own interests. I find to be an incredibly refreshing and interesting change. I'm really getting to know myself and what I like. I'm always discovering new areas of music, food, and style that I can't help but fall in love with. I'm writing this blog to share my discoveries and show, what I think to be a cool  way of life.

Peace and love. XXX.
