Transitioning

[stgulik]

The first manic throes of empty nest syndrome are over. Fortunately (or unfortunately?) a mild yet sticky cold slowed me down for a week, and now I'm thinking a little more calmly.

I used to be a super coffee-aholic. I used to make Turkish coffee, which makes espresso taste like weak swill.

For espresso, you want a very fine grind. There is a grind specifically for espresso,, which I used for Turkish coffee. The other is because of the nature of espresso, you want a dark roast, because you want that slight bitter to come through. So dark roast, espresso grind. That will take care of your needs.

all the furniture rearranging sounds like fun to me, lol. maybe not the actual dragging it around, but i love that whole making a space new again thing. maybe i need to figure out something to do here in my little apartment.

and i vote for naming the espresso machine because it sounds like fun. :)

I think it's more how the espresso is created more than the beans. I would think any dark roast would do.

I hope we will be seeing pics of this lovely transformation. Since I did so much DIY last year I've become horribly nosy about other friends' redecorating.
