Summer-Part 4

Well, I'm finally getting my last summer photos up, and since I haven't been around much since I got back for the summer I have several photos that are from the last few weeks. I should be getting those up ASAP so look for them.

8-6-09

Spilled coffee inside the cabin, something I wasn't actually aloud to bring in (no food in the cabin this summer). But I accidentally kicked my cup while sitting on my bunk.

Guess what I was reading this morning.

8-7-09

Hey there's my leg...awkward

8-8-09

Hard to see but there is a spill on my t-shirt.

8-9-09

Ok this days sequence of photos was funny in retrospect but aggravating at the time. I set my cup of coffee on a janky card table we had under the kitchen tent. The table was not sitting on a level surface. So I bumped the table and my coffee spilled into the puzzle box. Well I moved the cup and began to wipe up the spill. But that shook the table again, causing another spill. You can see this began a vicious cycle. I repeated this 4 more times! Ahhh

8-13-09

If you look realy close, I spilled the water while trying to fill the french press.

Vineyard Happy Medium

I was reading the sign on the wall at church. They had a recipe posted behind the counter for "Vineyard Happy Medium Coffee" This kind of made me laugh, as I spilled the happy medium coffee while trying to fill my cup. I'm not that talented at white the carafes. My camera hasn't been charged in a few weeks because I left my charger at camp. I need to drive back out there and get it. So my friend had her new laptop out and I ran over and grabbed her mac book and used photo booth to take the picture, then emailed it to myself.



Coffee: I didn't ask, but I know the church uses Dunkin' Donuts coffee.
Ok I have this theory that Dunkin' Donuts coffee is the gateway drug of the coffee world. People who usually drink large can coffee but don't like good coffee, start out moving up by drinking Dunkin' Donuts. They walk around saying,"oh yeah, this is Dunkin' Donuts, its good coffee." And in my opinion its ok coffee, but it opens their world to coffee that doesn't taste like bittter water. Then they can start sampling single origins.

Back at the Office

I still have some updates from the summer, but as you can see I'm back at the office. The Coffee Ethic has new lids for their large coffee cups, but they don't fit quite so well. Each time I picked up my cup ad dribble kept coming out the side. Tom, one of the owners tells me these lids won't be sticking around so long.



Coffee: House from the Coffee Ethic
I really need to ask again when the actual bean is; I've forgotten. It's very good though.

The Coffee Song

I tried a new coffee shop in town called Sinatra's Coffee Gallery. I actually intended to go to the Coffee Ethic, but I accidentally drove passed it.

Ok first of all I don't get why coffee shops are suddenly being called galleries. They may display art their but the coffee itself is not art, so the establishment is not a gallery. Though sometimes I feel like the coffee is art.

I spilled this coffee in my car, just a little dribble on my car. When I set the cup in my cup holder, the sleeve around the cup bumped the side and tipped it over. A tiny bit spilled onto the console of my car.

Coffee: Kenya AA, from Sinatra's Coffee Gallery.

This was not good. I usually love Kenyan Coffee, but this tasted like the shop ground their flavored beans with the regular ones, because it tasted like cinnamon... yuk. I was not a fan, I may give this place another try, it had a cute atmosphere, but so far they've scored no points with me.

Ok this is not a coffee spill, it's cranberry juice, that I spilled on myself on the plane ride home from Chicago. But I thought you all might want to see it. In the vain of full disclosure I wanted to order coffee, but I guessed the American Airlines coffee just wasn't going to cut it. I had to sit like that for almost the whole flight.
