High Five for Friday
- I love Erika's goal of making mornings magnificent this year.
I've definitely been working towards becoming a morning person
(especially since figuring out a few months ago that I had become
neither a morning nor a night person). I've been working on moving my
phone further away, waking up to NPR (which is one of my favorite things) getting out of bed before hitting snooze, and
enjoying time with B and my coffee before getting ready for work. Geneva has some great tips; but it's a
work in progress for me.
- Speaking of my morning coffee. I've been researching new methods for
coffee brewing. I've always been torn on the keurig. I received one as a
gift a few years ago. I love the idea of quickly brewing just enough
for myself, but the wastefulness of the k-cups and the fact that you are
flowing extremely hot liquid through pretty thin plastic have always
given me doubt. I had tried several BPA free, reusable K-cups but I
never found one that I loved, most left the coffee just a tad gritty.
Then I read this article a few months ago and it sealed the deal, I've
decided to find another option, preferably one that doesn't involve a reservoir or flowing nearly boiling liquid . I've been looking for a
coffee maker ever since (obviously not too quickly). This seems interesting and I've read a little on the Chemex. Have you used either of these? Have a better idea?
- I have been eating all the carbs I can find in effort to stay warm in
my ridiculously cold, old house. Recipes for vegetable pot pie and
mashed root vegetables coming soon!
- Also, my daily struggle http://www.popsugar.com/smart-living/Why-People-Late-36043892. I can completely relate to trying to do just one more thing before leaving.
- And
on a completely ridiculous note, I've started watching the bachelor
(I'm pretty sure I've previously mentioned that I'm never the first on a
trend). But why is this show so addicting? I was originally drawn in
by Kardashley and the crazy Auburn grad, but I haven't missed an episode
since either's departure. Whatever this crazy show is, it's definitely
entertaining. And even more so are the various live tweets and this

I got rid of my Keurig several months ago and went back to a regular coffee pot. I love the idea of pour-over coffees but I also love the convenience of setting the timer on my coffee pot and then waking up to the smell of the coffee automatically brewing in the morning. The Overall Company in Opelika does pour-overs and all of the ones I have tried have had amazing flavors. I am sure it has to do with the types of beans they use. They sell the thing they use to make the pour-over coffee too I think.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for the vegetable pot pie recipe!
Ok, I've now tried pour-overs myself and I love the flavor but I'm not sure I'm patient enough for them in the morning. I will be purchasing a coffee pot with a timer!
