Saturday Shopping with Marye

 
I have been looking at tea cloths this week.  I think that table cloths give a great, finished look to a table and I love them but I don’t use them…LOL! I have seen people make pillows and curtains and all kinds of way cool things with vintage tablecloths but I have never made anything […]

Green Mountain Coffee:Single Origin Sumatra

 
This is my favorite of the coffees that Green Mountain sent me.  It is a dark roast, and as I have said, I am partial to a dark roast.  The beans are very aromatic, you open the bag and your brain perks up..”coffee? did someone say coffee?”

Sources for Green Coffee Beans

So, you evolved from instant to Folgers Gourmet…and then to Millstone whole bean and then to artisian roast….and now, now you are thinking that maybe you would like to roast your own coffee. Great idea.
