It's coffee for me today :)
- well it is every day -
that is, when it's 6 am
I've recently cut back to one cup of coffee.
I use this cool french press to brew it - delicioso!
******
I use locally roasted beans - tons of choices here in Seattle.
This is "Millstone" which is roasted in Everett WA.
I ALWAYS buy organic, fair trade, shade grown coffee.

This is my front porch view today at 6:30 am ..... they say it's gonna be about 86 today .... I hope they're right !

And as I was uploading photos from my camera,
I came across these from the weekend.
It was my mom's birthday.
Here she is showing the girls how to make their own pizza.

And I just had to take a picture of this lovely lovely dish of clams in a tomato and herb broth that she made. I would show you a picture of the clam shells too - but the picture just looks like a slimy pile of mollusks .... too early in the day for that :)

Happy Tuesday!
Happy Tea (or joe)!
Please visit the tea cohorts:
***cheers!***
What kind of French press is that? And despite the early hour, I have to say that the clam broth/soup looks divine. I bet the clams you get up there are fantastic.

ReplyDeletewhat a great thing you've accomplished- cutting down on coffee but raising the enjoyment of the one you give yourself!
ReplyDeleteand you made me really hungry with the clam soup! the whole post was like having a pleasureable thought!
I understand the cuppa joe in the morning...I'm not sure I'd live without it. But I love my afternoon and evening teas. Where joe starts my day...tea keeps it sailing smoothly.
ReplyDeleteI passed a French press up at my local thrift store and have regretted it ever after.
I joined in on Tea on Tuesday for the first time today.
Looks good and love the vintage spoon in the soup!!! I posted a 2nd Tea on Tues - got a tea goodie in the mail today!!!
ReplyDeletehello as i sit with my coffee...mid afternoon pick me up...such a sweet picture of the "cooks"
ReplyDeleteI got my french press after watching an episode of Alton Brown (food network) he swears by the french press for the very best cup of brewed coffee. And he's right. I got mine at Starbucks .... I know I know .... I paid retail too - argh! but after seeing that episode (Alton Brown's show) I had to go out and get one that very evening. Compulsive - but happy :)
ReplyDeleteI'm a little later than usual for tea :) I didn't look "before" either ... we both included our Mom's in our post!
ReplyDeleteWhat a warm scene with the girls and Grandma making pizza dough!
Lovely post as always .... I can almost smell the coffee! oxo
