there's a coffee shop by my house that.. after a certain hour... serves Americanos instead of coffee. The last one I had tasted like bitter hot water. This one's a little better. Despite the abundance of coffee houses in my area.. most of the coffee I get around here is pretty damn poor. I think coffee should have a good thickness.. be a little heavier than water. Rich and flavorful. Most of the coffee i get tastes more like bitter than flavor. I understand why Starbucks does so well. I don't like their coffee.. but it's definitely more powerfully flavored than where I am getting my coffee.
Bean and Bagel did serve me a splendid rich cup today though... if a bit less than hot.
I've also recently become quite infatuated with bacon... to the dismay of my ever expanding gut. It all happened when I experienced a carmelized bacon/onion and goat cheese pizza that kinda blew me away. Dang.
During my vacation days my thought was to make my own... however.. my yeast is always dead out of the package. I thought yeast preserved a little longer than it does. And the package I bought today was supposed to be used before August 2007. Fuckers.
I think I'm hitting the beach on wednesday... if I can tear myself away from this...
.. which arrives tomorrow. Thusly.. you will be hearing very little from me once that enters my apartment. I'm quite ... ...quite excited.
Finally... if you haven't received some sort of mix cd or music collection from me... then you may not know about Kitchen and the Plastic Spoons. And that my friends... would be a DAMNed shame. Listen to the track on my
alternate myspace and rejoice in it's wondrous spastic glory.
