Purchases

I must have walked past it a dozen times or more without noticing it, but there is a chef's supply store not three blocks from me. I now own a non-electric coffee grinder, and also a garlic press. I'll have to go browsing there sometime.

I also just paid a visit to Amazon, to order some more music: Roger Miller, Sam Cooke, Sly and the Family Stone, and Arlo Guthrie. I got almost all of the songs I was looking for. (I'm most especially looking forward to adding "King of the Road", "Chug-a-lug", "Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)" and "City of New Orleans" to my collection, but there's a lot of other good stuff on these albums.)

I'd be interested in comments on the non-electric coffee grinder. I've been using an electric one (well, a series of them) for some time.

So have I; mine is a Krups model. But I've read that a true grinder - as opposed to a chopper, which is what the Krups really is - is preferable, since it doesn't generate as much bean-degrading heat. What actually prompted the purchase, though, was last week's power outage, which left me with no way to make coffee.

That must have been bad! Did you sink to chewing on unground coffee beans? I might have. Although my coffee palate is so plebian as to enjoy instant coffee and what we call "girly" coffee: the flavored instant cofees. I make a mix of the two for my 3 cups of coffee in the morning. I know; anathema to coffee purists (g).

No, I sated the caffeine bug with tea and cocoa.

You have the best taste in music! [i.e., stuff I a) remember and b) like.]
