a simple yarn

Disclaimer: I think it’s safe to say that we, all of us, have unique and personal eccentricities. And so, let us take the time to celebrate the quirks that make us unique…

As a knitter I can easily sympathise with those who pursue stash enhancement. Who can resist a yummy skein of yarn even though there are dozens, nay hundreds, more sitting in the cupboard at home?

And so, I hope that there will be similar understanding as I share my own particular new acquisition quirkiness…coffee tools enhancement, as it were…

I really love my Bialetti coffee pot. Have I said that before? Yes, well….anyway. No electricity. Hot coffee. Ergonomic handle. Mmmmm…..But the only drawback to my lovely friend is that it just doesn’t do a single cup of cappuccino. In the 9-cupper (translation = 4 cappuccino cups), a single serving just doesn’t have enough water to splurt through the coffee into the upper chamber. And so either I resort to the Krups (which has, of late, included an odd aftertaste to the coffee) or continue to do double cappuccinos. However, it’s not about quantity, my friends, but quality.

Solution: Take a day in the city, have lunch with Holly and welcome a new little addition to the family.

Well, I’d like to think this is my own antithesis of the ’supersize’ generation…..an alternative to the electric appliance…..great foresight and preparation as the Krups belongs to the landlord…..that……aw heck, who am I kidding? It’s just cute, inexpensive and makes a lovely single coffee!
