soufflesque

big foam, but big results

tasted pretty good to boot.

whew, that was a close one

i have a small problem with time, specifically it’s rather rapid, and unnoticed, passage resulting in my enduring lateness to anything. i was late to my own birth by two and a half weeks, what chance did i have? clearly i was meant to be late to everything.

this morning it was a dermatology appointment that caught me off guard, but thanks to an old college friend all the way across the country i managed in thirty minutes to get dressed, walk the dog, take my meds, zip downtown in “just reopened bridge after extended labor day weekend closure” traffic, park the car and travel up 14 floors in an elevator containing roughly eight people all stopping on different floors.

i crossed the doctor’s threshold on the dot of 8:30.

nothing short of miraculous as i usually walk to appointments downtown. or get dropped off so i didn’t know where to park or where i was in the parking lot relative to the office building i needed and i forgot what floor his office was on and just guessed as i punched the button. gosh.

this one is for you jen!

dermatology tuesday by the skin of my teeth

last two

i’m all out of coffee until baby’s sends me more

first last coffee

second last coffee - sigh

another buck twenty five

actually, i’m not sure how much a homemade latte costs. i would have to determine the average number of lattes per quart of milk, how many beans for a shot, freight per bean, plus the average cost of the machine and electrical draw for both espresso and grinder. not to mention the cost of the mug collection. it’s less than store bought i guess, but the same amount of time standing around waiting for the rush.

and behind it, the endless to-do list on the hard-to-ignore yellow legal pad. ever growing, ever expanding.

five hours of sleep coffee

i made this cup in haste, the machine had not heated up properly, all of the frothing pitchers are dirty and i steamed the milk in the cup while on the phone.

still pretty good. i wish i had some pastry.

tea and chocolate

regretfully returned from vacation. no milk at the workplace, so no coffee.

but chocolate muffin!
