Coffee Crone: Taming Coffee Blog

Almost on the Road

My dining room table is piled high with all sorts of stuff. It's the gathering place for things I am taking on my trip to Toronto on Friday. It's also a pretty odd assortment of items, which taken individually are not all that strange, but when viewed as a collection, might make someone wonder about my sanity.

Fortunately, I don't have to worry about the customs and immigration people on this leg of the journey, and by the time I am crossing the border into Michigan, most of the truly odd things will be dispersed among my friends. It's not that I couldn't explain why I am traveling with five bottles of Auntie Bev's Authentic Jamaican Jerk BBQ Marinade & Sauce or 15 silver one-way valve bags filled with home roasted coffee or the mightily peculiar things I am bringing as faux-bridesmaid gifts for the ten or so of us who have turned our friend Val's wedding into a five day event.

Nope, I can explain all of that.

But, by the time my heat gun, roasting and brewing toys, anti-jiggling underwear, various beauty enhancing potions, and green coffee beans have been added to the mix, it might be a little more difficult to avoid looking truly nutty.

My choice is to embrace my inner nut, but that might just be the afterglow of yesterday's election in the states.
