Simmer Down: Pouring Over A Pour Over

This week on Simmer Down, the South’s own coffee roasting revolutionary, Philip Brown, sits down with Brenda and Libbie. Listen along as the ladies learn what goes into the perfect cup of coffee and interesting facts like how many people (from farmer to barista…nothing creepy) touch your beans before you drink them. This podcast is a little longer than most, but it was super interesting and we had a hard time getting Philip to take a breath! Enjoy a pour over with us.

Animal Magnetism

POW! BLAM! ZAP!

Cartoon action words are the only accurate way to convey my overly-and-ever-so-dramatic reaction to one of JenMarie Zeleznak’s new works “I Have a Feeling, That You’re Feeling Less These Days.” It is this kind of feeling that is almost but not quite a doubled-over-at-the-waist-and-catching-my-breath-moment (I am admittedly given to drama, I think I mentioned that previously?).

Ringing in 2012

With coffee being this weeks muse, I thought what could be more appropriate than featuring my newly shellac’d nails adorned with my usual amount of piled on rings drinking my one daily addiction…coffee. Adding as many rings as possible to my fingers is just as much a morning routine as brushing my teeth and pouring my first cup.
