And that it's okay to spend a little bit more for a pound of good coffee because it works out to $0.30 a day.
Life is far too short for bad coffee.
It's all about choices, Faith. The ones we make, and the ones we don't. Oh, and the consequences. Those are always fun.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Random: awesome kitchen gadget.
In the kitchen, there are gadget people and then there are knife people. Gadget people are never content to rely upon a traditional, elegant solution to a food preparation problem, and instead use various colorful and wittily named gadgets. Knife people want to turn their sharpest knives on the gadget people resulting in a colorful and satisfying plume of blood and a cascade of the ever-intensifying screams, but do not ultimately do so for fear of somehow damaging the blade.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I dunno. Silda is a smart cookie, and very tough. I doubt anyone is forcing her to do what she doesn't want to do. I don't like the idea that she's not doing this for her own reasons-- maybe her kids, or her divorce settlement, or her other ambitions after this.
Like Hillary.
But would not going to the press conferences really hurt their ambitions? I can see how it could hurt the kids, but I don't see how it could hurt her divorce settlement (if she decides to go that route). If I were in her shoes, I think I would rather be with my kids.

Too true. And while I'm not planning to shell out the money for, say, a pound a Blue Mountain, there's a Caribou Coffee around the corner and it's not much more expensive than Dunkin' Donuts.

That is cool (the garlic zoom). I'm not a big gadget person, although I did buy a Mouli Persil and a Mouli Julienne on my last trip to France. Those are more of a nostalgia item for me though.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
there's a Caribou Coffee around the corner
Every time I drive past Caribou Coffee, I sing the Pixies.
No, seriously.
"Cari-boooooooooooo!!!"

I am pretty sure wife of a politician is never in my future, that said, in the situation, I would offer btw 1) not going to a press conference or 2) going to press conference and kicking him throughout it.

One of the food blogs I read did a review of the Garlic Zoom about a week ago and said it's fun to use, but is a total bitch to clean. (Dear kitchenware manufacturers everywhere: NOT EVERYONE LIVES IN THE SUBURBS AND HAS A DISHWASHER. KTHXBYE.)
However, LOVE:

I go past Caribou Coffee almost every day, and most of the time I still hear a little "Cariboooooooou!" in my head.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Every time I drive past Caribou Coffee, I sing the Pixies.
Me too. Or rather, three.
