The man...

A couple weeks ago I got to go down to Jackson Hole to visit Christopher for a couple days. The visit was definitely not long enough, but I couldn't put off going to visit for a better time, since who knows how bad the roads will get this winter. It's such a long drive, and with snowy, icy roads it makes it even longer.

Home again, home again, jiggidy jig...

Despite fighting a sinusy type head cold since flying home from Washington, DC, I've been plodding forward on putting together my espresso stand business.

Just this last week I purchased a granita machine. This will make coffee granitas and some sort of lemonade slushy drink. Personally, I hate drinks made in blenders. They are made with ice cubes blended up (this is what makes them slushy) and as soon as they're blended they start to melt, thus watering down the drink with ice melting in them. They just turn into a watered down drink. I think it's yucky, so I'm not going to make drinks in blenders. Plus, blenders are noisy, breakdown often, and are difficult to wash quickly when it's there's lots of drinks to be made.... 'Nuf said.

A few weeks ago I got to go to an apple squeezing party at Nancy and Nile's house. My mom used to work for them at the local veterinary clinic. Every fall they have a potluck where people bring lots of apples and yummy food to eat. Some people even bring instruments and play music. Good times.
