Comments on: Cream http://chappysmom.com/2007/09/03/cream/ A Boykin Spaniel, some yarn and some books . . . what more could a girl ask for?

DH got me a drip maker almost 2 years ago now. It's a small 4 cup, which is a good fit since he is not supposed to drink coffee. I think his motive was to have me cut back on coffeehouse purchases, but drip coffee doesn't really compare. I'm bummed they aren't making your model as I hate to buy one without a personal recommendation. It is always hard to figure out whether the glowing reviews were made too soon after acquisition and whether the scathing ones were due to a fluke or poor care etc. Oh man, I’ve been lusting after an espresso machine for a while now.

I was off to the Oregon coast with DH and some friends, and the dog, of course. (Nothing like watching your dog running on the beach to put a smile on your face.) The spinning looks gorgeous--that's going to be some lovely yarn. Good luck with your manuscript! I've got my fingers crossed for you. What genre? Sounds like you had a fantastic weekend!

I used to have capucchino every morning, but when I had to switch to decaf, I switched to a french press. It takes some of the pain out of the process, but still... Your singles are lovely. Someday I may have to start using my wheel, although I suspect it would lead to a whole other dimension of stash.

I am the dairy queen :) Drinking my bedtime milk right now as a matter of fact. Your singles are beautiful! I bought some of this stuff last year at Rhinebeck also, just a different color way. It was my first 3-ply. and came out a little on the thickish side and I just finally used it. It was so soft and smooshy I must get more :) I absolutely could not live without dairy.

And I also notice that when I stay away from dairy it's a lot better. I still have my shot of espresso each morning with fat free milk though. We've got a machine at work and who can pass up free espresso? I also love the spinning you are doing, the colors are gorgeous! Oh I get the same phlegm/mucus/sinus thing!

I sometimes do them in the steamy shower when I'm congested...don't hurt, seem to help. Do you know the accupressure points for clearing bronchial tubes and lungs?

I'm looking into buying an espresso machine. I've heard good things about Rancilio. Have you been happy with your Krups?
