coffee roasters, cast iron skillets and hot air popcorn makers all work.
I have a Gene Cafe coffee roaster that I bought used 10 years ago on ebay. I have replaced a couple of parts to keep it going.
I buy Ethiopian and Kenyan mostly. I also like the Guatemalan and Cost Rican beans.
I buy Green beans so they are not flavored, but the ones I like usually have a description with citrus flavor in it.
One of our Cats loves playing hide the toy mice with us-- she then asks us to open the closet door after she pushes them under. One time she hid two of them in the back of an easy chair.
I have a delivery coming from Sweet maria's tomorrow!
They are in Oakland CA and I am in Woodland CA. I would go there to pick the beans up but it is still quite a drive.
We did have some frost on the windows this morning. That is as close to snow as I have seen here all but twice since 1992.
The forecast shows some rain next week which is very exciting!
Aria cut herself this week(She is on the bakers thread) but did not go to get a stitch.
She had trouble controlling the bleeding. I was reminded that I need to get some liquid stitches and more butterfly bandages.
We have had our first big rain storm of the year!
Fire season is over for now. It might be back next month though. Last year we had fire season weather in the winter.
