If you think I’m handy with the trier in real life, wait until I send it back in time to London in 1675.

I have struggling with coming up with ideas for posts recently. Not that I don’t have lots of them, it’s just that I don’t see the need to add to the clutter and chaos of everybody else’s lives via my blog. I mean, the few who do read the blog, all have lives to lead, …
I hope you enjoyed the popcorn and used the restroom during the intermission. I have continued to grind away. Before I move on, I must clarify my grind type. As you may be aware, not all grinds are the same. I have a drip coffee maker, an espresso machine, and a French Press maker. Each …
