  • mandarin america

    i get a lot of crap email.  i spend a portion of my day hitting the delete key and filtering through to the stuff that is even remotely relevant to me.  occasionally i get a few forwards from family, and occasionally it saddens me to see how ignorant and racist they are.  rather than think too…

  • she’s easy

    so, i went to the corner store near our house the other day because we were out of juice.  this is a tragic occurance in our household, one that results in much angst and screaming if we are not able to supply gavin with his beverage-of-choice.  so, gavin and i took a field trip. having…

  • spicy aztec coffee

    we’ve been out of (flavored) creamer, so i invented this.  i’ve decided it’s awesome. 2 heaping tsp Lake Champlain Spicy Aztec Hot Chocolate (if you needed to, the Allegro Mayan Drinking Chocolate that you can get from Whole Foods would probably work) Coffee (maybe slightly less than you’d usually pour into your cup) Creamer/Milk/Half & Half (i think this…

  • nu-art

  • caffe ibis

    we took a field trip to logan, utah, to visit caffe ibis.  i was seriously impressed by their commitment to sustainability, fair trade, and making a positive difference on the environment.  seriously.  took a tour around the roasting facilities and then had a mini cupping.  the cupping was interesting, kinda obviously done for our benefit,…

  • food it is, then…

    so, i just checked my wp analytics and the last post, new topic: cheese is my top post and most active.  so, um, i guess i should talk about food more.  ha. which really makes the ubergeeky theme for the site somewhat unrelated.  so yeah, it’s on the list… the big boss came (regional pres)…

  • new topic: cheese. discuss.

    erin thinks i should write about my cheese exploits.  because it’s at least as exciting as anything else i ever write about. …she probably has a point. so. today i discovered cowgirl creamery.  they’re based in petaluma, ca and we got some MT TAM in (named after mount tamalpais).  not only is it a good…
